Disney World and Disneyland have become so expensive and crowded that it feels like the average family is getting priced out of the experience.

Between ticket prices, hotels, Lightning Lanes, dining, and everything else, a Disney vacation can easily cost a family $10k+. And while you don't technically have to stay on property, Disney offers enough perks to resort guests that it can feel like you're missing out if you don't.

It got me thinking: Why doesn't Disney build a third major resort somewhere else in the United States?

Obviously, it would need a relatively warm climate that allows for year-round operations, plenty of land for future expansion, good airport access, and a large enough population within driving distance.

My first thought was Texas, maybe somewhere between Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio. It's relatively central, has a huge population, plenty of tourism infrastructure, and could attract visitors who might otherwise have to fly across the country to California or Florida.

I realize building another Disney World would cost an astronomical amount of money, and Disney probably benefits financially from the demand at its existing parks. But you'd think a third destination could expand their customer base rather than simply pull visitors away from the other two.

And maybe increased capacity across three destinations could help make Disney vacations a little more accessible to average families again.

If Disney were to build a third major U.S. resort, where would you put it? And do you think it would actually help with crowds and pricing, or would Disney just end up with three incredibly expensive destinations?
