    WSJ: Even Disney Is Worried About The High Cost Of A Disney Vacation (gift link)

    Not to mention that the "Disney Bubble" basically doesn't exist anymore with the nonstop staring at phones and removal of streetmosphere and theming.

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    And now closes at Epcot closing time of 9pm. No longer the 11pm they used to have for WS.

    I think this is also a factor. The last few years the almost every building especially ride buildings haven't had the A/C blasting like before. MMRR had almost stagnant air last year. This year was better but nowhere the flow and colder temps of years before.

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    Not everything is open during early entry either. More than half of each park isn't open until 9am or whenever that park opens.

    Most likely better quality than Disney buffets with the exception of Boma...maybe.

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    Add to this the lack of product development in terms of increasing capacity, innovation, immersion, etc. Instead all Disney management did was put everything behind a paywall and jack prices on 30-50 year old rides while not maintaining them. This current management is great at one...

    Can you say DVC conversion? 🤣 But really and sadly that might be their thinking.

    News The Walt Disney Company Board of Directors Extends Robert A. Iger’s Contract as CEO Through 2026

    Gotcha. Decay includes faulty lights in the que does it not? I own DVC so I have interest in the parks. So me feeding the mouse is regardless as my money is "old" money. We've cut back on many trips. Even let our APs expire. So I'm not keeping their lights on. I'm not for or against the...

    News The Walt Disney Company Board of Directors Extends Robert A. Iger’s Contract as CEO Through 2026

    Right...how about the lights in the hallway in the que that went out for a while? New ride huh? I thought Bob Ego said they provide a "Premium" product vs Six Flags or Universal. Premium cost means your parks should be immaculate, clean, well kept and not falling apart. You and Bob Ego v2...

    News The Walt Disney Company Board of Directors Extends Robert A. Iger’s Contract as CEO Through 2026

    They didn't do that. They already built it in Shanghai so they took the "Iger Disney" path and cloned it at MK. 5+ years and already showing it's age and decay on the outside for ride that just opened.

    New Enhancements, Dining Options Coming to Disney’s BoardWalk

    Epic Universe expansion will be done or underway before this is finished. Also think this will open and close within a few months.

    Also hard to be in the "bubble" if you are staring at your phone all day long. With all the notifications from email, facebook, etc., the illusion of the "bubble" is shattered by the mere fact that Disney wants you to look at your phone all day to get Genie+, make food orders and purchases...

    Has it been that long since AoA opened? Damn.

    News Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Permanently Closed Fall 2023

    Looks nice for Vegas but not for WDW. By that I mean it also looks like the same "theming" going into WDW resort updates. Might even be the same designers updating the Grand Floridian to "Modern" Victorian, whatever that means.

    News Walt Disney World raises the cost of parking at the theme parks October 2023

    Yes APs get free parking as well as Disney resort guests unless they change that too today.

    News Disney plans to accelerate Parks investment to $60 billion over 10 years

    Ok. Thanks. Didn't know Cruise line got wrapped in with the Parks division.

    News Disney plans to accelerate Parks investment to $60 billion over 10 years

    Great chart. Is this Parks and Resorts alone? The $60 billion is for Parks, Resorts, and Cruiseline so the the $6 billion/year is spread even more around besides just Parks and Resorts.
