@haydenevansart And here’s the crazy part: $1.00 in 1955 is roughly $11.80 in 2026 when adjusted only for inflation. Yet today, a single-day Disneyland ticket can cost around $224, and that’s before adding parking, which can be another $40. The math tells the story. The magic may be priceless,
@DrewDisneyDude Yet today, a single-day Disneyland ticket can cost around $224, and that’s before adding parking, which can be another $40. The math tells the story. The magic may be priceless, but apparently the accountants found a way to put a very large price tag on it.
@MlGUELMIGS Telling Mariah to ‘take a break’ is the dumbest shit I’ve heard all week. This woman invented modern pop diva culture and still outsings 95% of these TikTok mumble artists while half-dead. Sit your broke asses down and show some respect.

@CokainBarbie@DeidaradaAkats5 Well, based on the latest projections, Madonna lost the first-week sales battle, and after all those versions, discounts, and last-minute releases, she still couldn’t buy her way to the win. If you’re going to game the system, the least you can do is actually win.
