I would expect the same 4 year pattern to hold: not a lot of people on the ground

I’ll send pictures…and then be told I’m lying 🤓

Wow almost as if they are offering a service that people want, and at a price point consumers are willing to pay.....

I'm scared how much they are going to charge for this next year...

If I'm Disney, I either need to figure out how to offer more of these (without breaking everything for everyone else), or figure out the max price I can charge and still sell out... I wonder if we will see dynamic pricing on this next year.

The fact that these high priced offering sell out isn’t the point. The point is Disney needs to be cautious or the perception of the parks will be that they are boutique parks, only for the rich. Bob Iger addressed this when he said that prices might be too high. He understands that there is a point where you can be pound wise and penny foolish, the reverse of an old adage.

We need some first hand accounts

Now do you want pictures from Epcot when there’s 100 feet between bodies on the walkways on 12/28?…or the crowd on 11:58 on 12/31?

Context does matter…as does nuance in the written word.

He paid it lip service…and is doing the opposite.

Also…what’s a “sellout”?

Nobody who knows what theyre looking at says this

On the flip side…there are many who say “the parks are MOBBED” when in fact it’s just the standard crowd level with a bump due to overall increases in travel as a whole

The truth is in the middle

Of course, the parks aren't at their peak attendance. People who pretend that are just as wrong as those who say they are attendance. They have not recovered to post COVID levels yet and that, to me, is a good thing because they were SUPER crowded then. But also a sign that there are people who are priced out or looking for alternatives. Fundamentally, that is a true statement. The problem is that people are acting as if the parks are sooooo expensive that no one is going there anymore, which is an obviously ridiculous statement.

Fwiw. From multiple groups who were there for Thanksgiving week and even into the following Tuesday. Parks were crowded. Lines existed and nothing really a walk on
