Disney, "The Evil Corporation", Strikes Again

While we primarily study the actual themes and ideas put forth in Disney's movies/shows, I always enjoy reading about up-to-date information about Disney itself as a corporation. As of today, October 4, Disney is  significantly raising its prices on Disneyland tickets. In the article attached at the end of this paper there is an explanation that "the latest price increase specifically targets Disneyland’s annual passholders, a core base that many unofficial Disney blog sites estimate at 1 million. Some have speculated the recent ticket increases are a much-needed way to reduce the large crowds that occurs at Disneyland during some weekends and high-demand seasons."It's hard not to laugh at the ridiculousness of this statement by Disney. The company has legitimately become so unbelievably successful that they can afford to raise the price of their Disneyland tickets so that they can reduce the number of people that come to visit their amusement park. If there's one thing that Wasko got right, it's that Disney as a company is truly an empire that shows no sign of slowing down.
