This is particularly interesting given how many schools across the country (especially in Florida) are on spring break.25 minute is AMAZING! Anomaly?

This is approaching the mid point of the Spring Break season. Michigan is high point is 1st week of April.This is particularly interesting given how many schools across the country (especially in Florida) are on spring break.
I didn’t buy LL or G+ and got on everything I wanted to. That being said, there are still plenty of people using the G+ line. The line for Peter Pan on Saturday was well outside the queue, and not because they were still scanning in. It was backed up. In hindsight, I should have tried to get to the park before 1:00 to get the bg but it wasn’t feasible. I was stuck with bg 35 and arrived at the park mid afternoon. I don’t think any sob story or tears would have gotten us on so I didn’t even bother trying lol.See -
Attendance is down.
Some attractions like EE have no waits.
Genie + is perfect.
Boarding groups are so easy to get in, its no big deal to miss then
All is right at WDW.
Ontario March break was last week too, which is a huge parks migratory event normally. I think we (Canadians) are in a pseudo recession and the exchange rate is bad to boot. Pseudo because the only reason GDP isn’t shrinking is massive record immigration.
Maybe Spring is going to be an ideal time to visit now, it really feels like attendance trends are flipping.
Forecasts haven't been very accurate so far this year, it seems.Last week was ridicously busy... and Monday's have become a rather busy day of the week for the parks... this is bizarre.
Will be interesting if it picks up or not, next week is forecasted to be the busiest.
Are all AP levels blacked out now?Don’t think it’s an anomaly, rise 30 min space is 15.
Pirate and Pixie Dust only as per the blackout date calendar. Getting a park reservation at the other two levels may be a different question though. MarieAre all AP levels blacked out now?
I just checked park reservations availability for day guests and resort guests...next week Tuesday, MK is blocked out (all other parks available all other days) and the following week, again only MK is blocked out on April 2nd (again, a Tuesday), all other parks available throughout the week.Last week was ridicously busy... and Monday's have become a rather busy day of the week for the parks... this is bizarre.

This past week and next week the parks are jammed. Not historic highs, but at least back up to pre-COVID averages for peak weeks. However, room bookings are still very, very soft.
Busses to and from resorts were easy to come by all last week - we were never left waiting.
On Monday the All Star complex had over 800 new check-ins scheduled, and occupancy still couldn't crack 85%.
Next week is some in Northeast having spring break ( ie NJ ). Expect WDW to be busier.To show you how empty Orlando is today… I just drove from Celebration to Universal in 15 minutes. Typically a half hour normally, 45 at rush hour
It all comes down to two things - Hubris, and arrogance. And they have them both in spades.If people really aren’t booking, they’ve budged surprisingly little on room prices.
The thing I can’t figure out is why there is such a huge gulf between the moderates and the deluxes. The deluxes are sometimes 3 to 4 times more expensive than the moderates, and just don’t seem like a 4-fold upgrade or even like they could be that much more expensive to run. It seems like they need to get the price on some of the deluxes down a fair bit so that there’s not such a huge gap in the pricing continuum. In many cases they leap from low $300s for Port Orleans to the $800 - $1,000+ range for popular deluxes.
