Interesting that it ends on May 23rd with Epic opening on the 22nd and Memorial Day weekend. Either they believe Epic will bring in strong crowds to Orlando, or they are leaving themselves room for more deals/options pending success.

The former. Booking trends already indicate the back half of this year is much stronger, they were already reporting that data back in November.

I expect we'll see 2025 WDW up 5% attendance YoY and Universal around 35% (which will be about 15% from their prior 2022 peaks).

Well, according to the main site, they're running this deal this year, they ran it last year, and then the last time they ran it was... 2017.

They have run the Florida residents “discover Disney” offer every year since at least 2013 (except for 2021 due to obvious reasons).
Prior to that they had the same type of thing with a different name. 2011 and 12 it was the “wild for 3 and 4 day offer”


And here is a link to this very site talking about the 2010 discount January ticket.

WDW: FLA residents $25 a day!

Don't know if this has been posted as it's not hot off the presses news, BUT WDW (you know, the company that's not going to be discounting so massively according to The Weatherman) has an incredible ticket offer for FLA residents right now. Four days: $99. Or roughly $25 a day. That's one...

This is business as usual.

You think people will flock to MK instead of Epic because of a new parade vs an entire new theme park?

Of course not but it’s silly to think some people won’t want to also go to MK to see the new parade. If it was a daytime parade I’d say the draw would be very low but a nighttime parade with lights I think will spark more interest.

Yup - about what I expect. Universal has seen 2 years of attendance decreases (but on par with Pre-Covid #'s), but they should get a significant boost.

WDW overall I'm expecting to benefit, specifically MK & EP. I'd have to imagine DAK will stop the bleed a bit attendance-wise, and DHS might stay flat.

I'm not so sure. They say booking trends to be much stronger in 2025 but their actions say a different story. Looking at all the discounts and the free dining tells me bookings are down for the summer.

The back half of 2025 is what they said was stronger, front is weaker but they essentially implied it was flat as we are year over year on already suppressed attendance from 2024.

If I've read the AECOM reports correctly, WDW's hit 5% YoY growth once in the last (non-pandemic) decade. So you're thinking this is a "rising tide lifts all boats" scenario?

It won't but executives are hoping it will at least put a dent on the graph.

plenty of vloggers and maybe some locals will check it out early but I doubt many are saying they must book a vacation this summer because of it.

And that seems to be the cycle we're stuck in with WDW. If it's not something they think people will plan a trip around, they don't see it as an addition/update worth doing in most cases.

The attractions they build to fit this scenario cost half a billion dollars and take years to complete once construction actually starts so combined with their D23 moneymaker requiring early announcements, they take forever to get started with pretty much anything.

Once finally complete, these new attractions are mobbed for years, now with ILL upcharges for anyone who fell for the marketing and did plan a trip around these new additions.

Rinse and repeat.

Seems like mobbed E-tickets of varying quality are mostly all we're going to get from here on out unless they need to attach a C-ticket so they have justification for a bunch of retail sprawl they can then call a new "land" when it should have just been an attraction with maybe, a gift shop at the exit.

I blame Universal for giving them this idea with the Simpsons. 😒
