Weird perk when most people are coming internationally so dont arrive till mid afternoon at the earliest (significantly later if they're unfortunate enough to get the asleep shift at MCO security).

I am having a hard time believing this is going to move the needle that much - especially with the updated pricing and updated cancellation policy.

This is the type of stuff that drives our decision to visit Disneyland instead. We can stay at a good hotel, for less $$$ across the street, with a much shorter cancellation policy, walk to the parks, and still visit other SoCal attractions. I can easy believe Disneyland attendance isn’t having the same issues.

Layer on that, the first time visiting USF & IOA was about 6 years ago, and how enjoyable that was - even though we don’t do roller coasters - and WDW continues becoming less desirable.

We hope to do a FL trip in 2025, but will probably spend the biggest part of the trip at Universal. In the past we might have stayed the entire time at WDW - due to free bus service and value, but now we’ll like get a car or ride share. Our WDW bubble is burst - the value and enjoyment just isn’t there. If one in our party had never been to all four parks, we’d probably cut it even shorter, but will probably make sure we can visit all four of them. Going to take more than a possible water park visit to fix that - and probably even more to get us to stay on site.

I think they are going to have to start pulling bigger levers and probably start pulling them sooner.

Eisner was definitely a net positive for the Florida parks but a negative that does not really get much consideration is how odd some of the projects physically manifested on the property. Studios was built in such a way that it stunts its growth. Multiple deluxe hotels are not easily navigable to any of the 4 parks. MK ingress/egress logistics are not his fault but has been a terminally reactive process.

With the exception of Crescent Lake, Disney Springs, and (barely) Seven Seas Lagoon, the property acts like a land-bound archipelago.

That was a swamp/fertilizer farm that has an extensive water management system - required by the Everglades zone…

So it’s not ideal to build on every spot.

But also…it wasn’t intended to be built “by class”…except the middle class. That was it.
