Looking after the pennies.
We bought an annual pass for the four theme parks at Walt Disney World. Total cost was $403. The ten day pass would have been $360. Parking each day at the parks would have been $8 but was free to annual passholders. This was a saving of $88 as we went to the parks eleven times. Annual passholders also get 10% discount at various swish restaurants and shops within WDW and we saved a further $62 utilising this. Total savings were $140 which meant our annual pass only cost us $263 (£142). AND we plan to go back next November two weeks before our annual pass expires and we won’t have any entrance fees or parking to pay for! Hope you’re proud of us.

Coming soon: my huge essay on the architecture of reassurance and theme park criticism and strategies. Bet you can't wait.
