First, "How many days did you go?" Disney is more expensive the fewer days you go. A co-worker of mine was attending a wedding in Florida and decided to just "stop in" for a day at Disney world and was complaining about it costing over $75.00 per person. It's true. If you go for just one day, it'll cost you. Did you know that you can get tickets for under $20.00 a day, though? If you purchase a 10 day basic ticket it's actually under $20 bucks.
My second question is usually something along the lines of, "How much did you spend the last time you went to a movie?" and how does that compare in value to the cost of the price of admission to Disney World? Sure tickets to Disney are not "cheap" but when you compare them to the price you pay for other entertainment it's really a pretty good deal. A round of golf will cost you $30-$60 (or more), a day at Six Flags will cost your $30-40 (and it's nowhere near the quality), going to the movies for a couple hours will cost you $10-12 per person. You get the point.
My third question is, "Where did you get your tickets?" There are better places than others to get your tickets and a myriad of combinations. You generally do NOT want to wait until you get to the park to purchase your tickets. You can save some money by purchasing from a reputable distributor of tickets. DO NOT BUY tickets off eBay. Tickets are non-transferable. Partially used tickets are worthless to you. One of the best places to purchase tickets that I have found is Undercover Tourist. Not only are their prices better than buy through Disney direct, their prices include all taxes and shipping. Make sure you compare that to other costs. This link gives their current prices on Disney World and other Orldando area Theme Park Tickets - which ticket is right for me?
Although, their prices aren't dramatically lower (they are not half price or anything) they can add up for a family.
