In 1981 a person earning minimum wage had to work 3-1/3 hours to purchase an admission ticket to either of the Disney parks. In 2012 a person earning minimum wage has to work 12-1/2 hours!!! If minimum wage were aligned with the incredible inflationary prices which Disney charges to get into their parks, it would currently be $27.70 per hour!
(No, the argument that the parks are better now doesn't hold up... Disney has been arrogantly greedy with their park price hikes which are not based on wages earned or on inflation.)
It now cost over $14 a day to park your car there. I haven't located the exact amount of quarters it cost back in 1981 to do the same.
Final thought: If we could get Disney to negotiate for us, many of us would be glad to work for the Disney equivalent minimum wage, LOL.
