I was referring to end of year projections in my post after this weekends results

Take with a grain of salt, but what i found is that its about 297 million domestic 5 day weekend now. That moves the projected 2025 domestic numbers to be now around 9.2-9.3 billion, about 500-600 million more than 2024 (2024 with inflation based on the estimated ticket price increase most used...

I am fairly certain one of our numbers people before the Paris Olympics (might have been parentsof4) noted that typically locations see a decrease in attendance during the olympics, so for many this was not a surprise effect of the olympics. I am fairly whoever gave the data had some good...

Yes, inflatables. We had a family of dinosaurs too.

I am sure there were a lot of replies with their own "stats". If it means anything, in our neighborhood Marvel was by far the largest number of costumes (6 spidermans for instance, and a ton of others). There was a whole family of star wars, and several others (I think they were 3rd most)...

Funny I guess I should have read your comment first. You hit it right

It was fun to visit if your in area, but I can’t see how anybody can compare the two. We remember tidbits now from trip but my kids have never brought up that trip (although my kids are perfect age for Disney still). I know a number of people that have done, and they all seem to give same...

I mean I can only speak for myself but generally we don’t need 3 meals a day (and like to avoid it on vacation). But when they restaurants we love have availability we book them. When we end up having 3 reservations (which we do sometimes) we regret it cause we end up wasting money cause we are...

I live in a house with two younger kids. We watch movies on repeat a lot. Kind of unpredictable too. At one time it was Moana for a few months, then suddenly changed to Wonka for a couple months then it was Star Wars movies on repeat, then marvel movies on repeat, and now we are back to movies...

I certainly know a number of people who say they never trailers anymore due to the streaming era (sure anecdotal, but I think it is a larger slice of pie then some realize). There is certainly a segment of the population that doesn't live on google. As I said, I have heard it far more times...

I can't imagine a large percentage of DVC members are annual pass members. So this deal is good for anybody that is DVC and not annual pass. The deal is obviously aimed at people who are not annual pass members, the magic maker is being just one example showing that is true of disney's motivation.

I guess I am missing why people find absolutely no value in this. If you plan to buy memory maker for your next trip, this would cost less to buy this rather than memory maker.

I just find it funny to say people aren't aware when the trailer broke records on views and all...

As a note - based on inflation, the price of movie tickets is actually lower today than in 2019 (only by $0.05, but still - source: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1400207/average-ticket-price-movie-theater-us/#:~:text=Ticket price at U.S. movie theaters 1971-2022&text=According to a recent...

I know anecdotal stories mean little...but my son had his birthday party this weekend. Moana 2 came up a few times from several people. What gets me is the varying people that are talking about it. I would be shocked if Moana 2 doesn't make huge money. The box office is hard to predict, with...
