To restate from a previous reply, why would WDW want to subsidize anything that would increase attendance?

St Pancras is such a beautiful train station

Should have been vetting for years at this point.

Checked Uni prices and $174 for a 1 day /2 park ticket. Looks like No parks, a little table service, 3 pool days, and other "stuff".

My wife is coming down for the weekend after my sales conference at Universal. The plan was to do a day at Epcot to satisfy her addiction to blood orange margaritas. However, at $154 per ticket to get into the park, there is no way we will pay that. Guess we will just go to AK lodge for dinner...

They will not. It will only work if prices rise at a higher rate than attendance decline. If prices rise at the same rate of decline, this will only result in zero growth. While medium class is priced out of attendance, food and merch, upper class will not purchase more merch and food to...

There is something to be said about the mass tourism thing. In Lisbon its nuts to butts at the popular museums etc. Sintra yesterday was packed, especially the Pena castle. My wife started sniffing me for potential hygienic infraction, nope it's the guy 3 persons in front of me.

Why?? Fixed CAPEX expenditures. They seem to only want to spend a fixed amount for construction per month. If you build 2 projects at once, they will take 2x as long to complete.

It appears that WDW only allocates a fixed amount of $$ for construction (CAPEX) per quarter. As a indidual attraction does not have an explicit income per ride (LL not included), ROI is difficult to define. Therefore, construction expenditures have to be justified across park ticket sales as a...

And neither is monetization of inefficiency. MOI sets up a perverse incentive.

That would mean, at any one time, 5-6 attractions would be in some state of construction at any one time. This being due to the fixed capex program.

Forgive me if I am wrong, DIS fiscal year runs October to October. If this is the case, they have 6 weeks to get back to even.

They are finally going to do it! A Wesern themed brothel as a DVC lounge. If the processes work there, that will surely turbocharge DVC sales

That burning sensation means the marketing strategy is working. 3M x PCGS = a whole bunch of missed opportunity

How does a well received theme park presentation qualify one th be CEO of DIS?

There was also a report today that Burning Man is also experiencing low ticket sales. This would have been unheard of in the 2010's. Since the 2010's, ticket prices have steadily risen. I think the overall symptom we are seeing is a lack of disposable income. Burning Man has responded by...

If using water is the new cool thing, they could just turn fountains back on and turn up the AC.

Do you have a copy of the "Rules to Work By"? If cursing is explicitly or even implicitly expressed in the document, the ee will be placed in the progressive disciplinary system. If they are a general performance/disciplinary problem, they may well be terminated. It all depends on what is...

With a decrease in disposable income, the family that reliably make yearly trips will switch to bi yearly trips. The interval between trips will increase for those that do every 2 years etc... Facing decreased frequency of trips, where will you visit? Somewhere that has nothing new to offer or...
