It takes real skill to drive this many customers away.

======================================================
The July 4th weekend was a 10-year-low for the massive company's Disney World amusement park in Orlando, but all the parks have been suffering recently.
More from The Wall Street Journal:
Park visitors in recent weeks have had significantly lower wait times to get on rides, according to data from Touring Plans, a company that tracks wait times at major amusement parks, including Disney World and Disneyland in California. Industry analysts say shorter wait times generally correlate with smaller crowds.
The average posted wait time at the Magic Kingdom park in Florida — which has a special fireworks display on July 4 — was 27 minutes this year for the holiday, down from 31 minutes in 2022 and 47 minutes in 2019, the Touring Plans analysis shows.
"It's something that nobody would have predicted — just unfathomable," says Len Testa, a computer scientist who runs Touring Plans. Testa says wait times rose in the following days.
The Journal offers an assortment of potential reasons for the lull: Cruises and European vacations are back after the pandemic, Disney isn't offering much new, and Disney wants to slim down the crowds for richer guests anyway.
But unlike the journalist class, most of America understands the two primary reasons:
Your wallet is hurting
Disney went woke
Expect the 30-year-old single fanboys keeping Disney afloat to back out once student loan repayment starts back up in September!
“It takes real skill to drive this many customers away.”
Well, the DS left is definitely skillful at stupidity. And at destroying things. This is just one more example of their “skill”.
Nothing to do with pushing perversion?
I would like to take my grandchildren to the amusement park Kings Island near Cincinnati. I don’t because I don’t want to subject them to racial intimidation or trans/homosexual bullying. I’d be concerned going to any type amusement facility or area near any large US city. They’ll have to get by on a county fair or two.
If I’m not mistaken, I think I read somewhere that park tickets for a family of four were $1000. That is just outrageous and can break or make a vacation for the little ones. Disney burned its bridges by doing what they did. They’re not family oriented anymore but evilish queer oriented. You know the saying go woke go broke.
The price increases keeps me way and their politics was the last straw.
I suspect that is a small factor, if at all.
It was also unbearably hot. I was there.
The computer reservation system (necessary to skip lines and have a place to eat) could not be more complex and bewildering.
They closed Splash Mountain because rabbits are racist or something.
I was happy to see tons of Sodomite Pride garbage sitting on discount bins unsold. Clearly a flop.
A few months ago there was a story that claimed more tourists than ever.
July and August in Florida are almost unlivable.
More on Price than anything else. When it costs on average, for a family of 4 to go to Disneyworld, staying there, and that cost is about $10,000. That tells you a lot about the economy right there. Inflation has driven the cost of everything up, especially a pricey vacation.
Die Mickey, die.
Hope they’re stock tanks.

It’s very plain to see.

I was amazed to watch adults buy an autograph book and approach strangers dressed as Disney characters to ask the not-a-Disney character to sign their autograph book.
Presumably, the treasured it…
I wonder what Ivy League school Disney hired its marketing director out of?
Florida in July.
I go just to see tourist burst into flames.
A 4-day is $400 for all 4 parks, or $110 per day for a single park.
Basically, $100 a day per person.
