Universal Orlando's 7-Day Ticket Deal: 7 Days for the Price of 5

For years…breaking news
I really don't think either is in trouble at any point, they see demand is not where they want it to be with the early numbers so they make a deal to stuff in as many people as possible. Post-Pandemic + currently people are making a stand not to travel in the US are going to have this effect + an overall bad economy right now.

It's going to be harder than before but both companies have decided they want to go for the super fans with money rather than a wide market.

Interestingly this seems to bring them more or less towards parity. Disney’s 4 park x 7d ticket I’m also seeing for 75/d. A 4th park at Universal could increase length of stay, but it really doesn’t give them any leeway to bump ticket pricing.

Orlando’s LOS ran into the wall 25 years ago…both operators have been in a battle to cannibalize it.

In still a little surprised Comcast built that park…to be honest

The military APs + Volcano Bay will forever remain the undefeated deal IMO.

They’re fine, all of the parks need new offerings.

They charge so much now they have large discount flexibility now. Guest spending is so high once you’re in the parks now it’s not a big deal, no reason to be a panic an, but regardless spending is slowing I think in the economy because things have just been so overpriced. We’re also seeing Chipotle lower prices in some markets and houses coming down. To me that’s less of a Recession indicator and more like “people are done being squeezed by corporate greed,” even if some things are indeed slowing, I think that is the larger underlying factor atm. AI stuff hasn’t really been baked into any meaningful area except prevent new-hires, mostly college grads, though that will likely begin accelerating (I’d prefer a cash change rather than managed/slow change), to just rip the band-aid off as deflation begins and we just send out treasury payments to all Citizen.

Getting Epic online and starting construction on the lands at both IOA and USF are the bigger issues if they don’t want a post-Pandora slump, IMO, so long as have new unannounced rides and lands by 2027, I don’t think they’ll have any large issues.

They shouldn’t care about economic issues because you don’t know where it’ll be in 5, I mean Potter opened during the Great Recession and look how it turned out!

If anything they want the highest-ROI possible, while expanding capacity as much as possible to bring in new guests to drive up revenues and also to promote their larger media brand.
