Or maybe EPCOT was the only Disney park where locals with APs could find reservation availability after work many days.
Yes - my assumption is that Universal gained lots of momentum from new experiences at IOA (Hagrid in 2019, VelociCoaster in 2021), but lost significant momentum when people started to realize how much the parks have fallen off maintenance wise and that Disney is still a better experience (yes, even with all of the complicated requirements). It's not until late last year were we saw them start to invest back into the parks in maintenance and smaller improvements.
Yes, but the parks are involved in this report so that TEA isn't reporting anything out of line. Numbers may be off, but are aligned directionally. I don't think Disney would allow TEA to signal 20% attendance increase if they couldn't support that.
DHS is just such an unpleasant place to be compared to EPCOT.
Did almost the exact same last trip. We spent 1/2 day in DHS instead of the 2 we normally do and plan on doing the same next trip. It just isn't a fun park to be in currently.
But from the numbers, it certainly looks like DAK is the park most frequently skipped. Probably reflects a need to invest there more than anything (would be nice to get the TLK ride and a new nighttime show to go along with Tropical Americas)
How about a survey of guest experience? Bodies mean nothing if folks are having a bad time.
I think a lot of talk regarding Epic as a "Disney Killer" is exaggerated. What it will do is reduce attendance at the non-MK park depending on how Universal prices their tickets and how difficult it becomes to visit. Long-term, Universal Studios Florida is the secret ingredient to being more competitive with Disney. That park is falling apart.
