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.
My 2 children did 16 cruises with us before going to college. We never once went to any Disney place with them.
Cruises were a bargain compared to Disney, with 100 times better food and tons of other children on ship to play with well supervised by staff.
1. strained finances for many families
2. demographics
From everything I've heard among people in my circle of associates, immigrant families have no interest or no financial means to do silly vacations like a Disney trip.
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.
