But Disney is not immune to the siren call of well-heeled travelers. Just as airlines try to woo business and first-class passengers and their hefty profit margins, and Las Vegas resorts set up ever-more-exclusive hotels within hotels to cater to a high-roller crowd, so too has Disney gone after the upscale traveler who’s looking for more than a turkey leg and a Dole Whip.
