Florida Ping!...............
A combination of price gouging by Disney along with the sheer complexity of vacationing at the park. Also, perhaps a significant number of people are avoiding Disney.
Go Woke.....Go Broke
Looks like their are lots of people bending over to throw their money away though
Let’s see, a 30 minute wait for a 2 minute ride? Yea, that’s worth $100 a day......
You cannot prey upon and exploit children and then expect their parents to reward you with spending good money on your theme parks.
I fully expect some of the Disney princesses from the Disney Channel to start doing tell-alls about being exploited by Disney.
Awwwwwww! Boy does that suck!
There's a third reason. Increased vibrancy. There have been several viral videos, reported by the tabloids, about vibrant families beating the crap out of each other in the Magic Kingdom.
The Magic Kingdom has become an expensive woke ghetto. You can get that for free in the outside world.
Disney I think hurt most of all its traditional customers more than 1st time brand new customers. That comes from my own anecdotal information, than many traditional Disney customers have been repeat customers.
I have an adult sister with her adult daughter that make annual trips to Disneyland EVERY YEAR.
Its never been my thing, but apparently it had been for many people. Now Disney wokeness is making people question that loyalty.
When I was a kid, Disneyland was fairly affordable if you could get out to CA.
Then WDW opened, and it was closer to us, though it was a little more costly, but still pretty reasonable.
By the time I had kids, it was starting to be pretty expensive to go. We took the kids once.
I know I could never afford to take my one grandson there now, and furthermore, refuse to take him with all of the woke garbage they spew out now. No way!
yay groomers!
disney is the biggest and bestest groomer in all the land!
Orlando in July? Yeah, no thanks.
Between the expense and politics, nobody’s there.
Lgbt crap aside Disney is just too corporate with their entertainment. Only basic byatches patronize that company.
“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”.
The price increases keeps me way and their politics was the last straw.
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.
