I'm teaching some more of those engineering classes here in Orlando this week, and again I don't think anybody's going to WDW. At lunch today I even showed the class this thread- they thought it was funny and didn't seem too offended.

One guy said the Vegas comparison* wasn't valid, since "the casinos are right next to your hotel". Maybe...
*If these same folks went to Vegas on business, would they not visit a casino? Would they attend a Broadway show if it were next door?
That got me wondering, what's the cost comparison for an evening in EPCOT vs an evening in Vegas or an evening at a Broadway show?

Not too hard to estimate EPCOT... park entry $80?, fancy dinner $50?, gas from UCF area $15, total around $150? Lots of cheaper alternatives of course.

How about Vegas? fancy dinner? a couple hours of gambling? cab fare? Help me somebody.

What about the Broadway show in NYC? ... fancy dinner? ... cab fare? Anybody out there done this?

Something makes me think EPCOT would be the cheapest of these 3.
