    Let’s be careful about the quotes Nothing political about anything I’ve said

    That was 2 days ago… The only “boycott” going on is the prices are too high. Self inflicted wounds. I’ve said it 1000 times and apparently it will take more: this issue is the price and driving customers away

    The numbers are not broken down by location…they can hide a down in Disneyland or wdw if it’s offset by the other They don’t give “hard” numbers to the point where we can pinpoint exactly what is going on. They never had to. It’s why it’s “guidance” it’s vague on purpose

    In the past I would agree…when abc/espn accounted for 60% of the revenues. You know what does that now? Not “normal” times. The US government spent/invented $7 trillion to “buy” it way out of a recession…and still Disney is softening… Think it would work again? They can’t…but you can hold...

    That’s all I’m saying The biggest threat to travel and leisure is a disruption to consumer confidence in the “real world”. It’s always the first/easiest thing to cut. The fact they’ve kinda yo yo and never gotten back to their pre 2020 numbers in Orlando is a huge warning sign. People...

    Doesn’t surprise me at all… Disney parks have incredibly high overhead and always has…and they are more inline with their competitors in price Dcl is double the price…and their operations is nearly identical to the other big players

    The parks problem is they’re already throwing out discounts in the range of 2010 to try and get the occ and attendance up… What happens when it’s in a “bad” economy? They can’t discount 60%…and they’d have to do that and more The prices are too high. That is Bob. It’s only Bob. The buck...
