A lot of them got Express Passes if their prolonged wait was due to issues with the ride.

Mind you this wait time was for one singular attraction which was Harry Potter. The rest of the park's rides did not have wait times anywhere near that.

A lot of the other queues were only 20 mins as they limited the number of guests to something like 13,000 by all accounts. It's a big shame that they didn't keep those in the Potter queue as informed of what was going on watching some vloggers comments who were in the queue.

Eye of the beholder , no more no less. Like Josh had stated the ones that visit Orlando will experience Epic and also other places ( ie Disney ). The Mouse always comes out on top ( ie annual attendance compared to Uni ).

The MK will retain the crown for attendance because Disney.

And I like the Frozen reskin, but we can’t compare the Frozen reskin to attractions like forbidden journey. There is no comparison; forbidden journey is vastly superior.

I honestly wish we could have a Frozen land redo like in Tokyo. I've seen youtube videos and they look amazing. My wife is pushing me a little bit to go somewhere out of our comfort zone for next year. But, that's just us. Nice seeing you again!

I've been here for 2 weeks and I can't believe how quiet Memorial Day weekend was. Almost everything was a walk-on. I think the longest wait I did was 25min for Tron and Frozen

Never purchased lightening lane and never plan to. Depending on how many days you have and how you time yourself, it's all very manageable. Although, I'm also happy and content if I ride not much of anything as the atmosphere and surroundings are priority for me.

Even Epic Universe was not as crowded as I expected. Ended up being the highlight of my entire vacation. Never thought my most magical day on a WDW vacation would come from Universal.

I'll be at Epic Universe in three weeks. Despite what the media tells you I believer we have been in a recession for about a year. I'm not at all surprised by the travel pull back. I've been expecting it along with everything else that's going on right now. If you can afford to travel and aren't afraid to leave the country there are a lot of great deals out there. You can even find deals domestically.

Q4 was positive so that's false.

When companies tighten their belts and strive for efficiency don’t count your chickens and think all offerings will be operational etc to include food and drink items on the menu.

Q4 was in 2024?

They also don't break down the domestic operations.

DCL is carrying a lot of the weight right now and the swamp is hurting. The only thing that's covering for them right now is the increase in guest spending caused by higher prices and upcharges like LL and parties.

Price increases…

Charging the people already traveling more at every turn…

…1 tad of a macro problem with that…
