I’ll give them credit for acting more quickly to get ahead of the falling demand this year…maybe?
But the reality is that they didn’t have to drive the prices to where they’re losing customers with no outside economic factors in play…and that’s been going on for many years
Not a day of celebration

I’m becoming more convinced that a strategy shift has occurred
They have driven and coveted ticket revenue since the housing crash…very stingy to give a nickel on a it.
Now they’re spinning giving it away?
@lentesta has been dead on about this…they have a new darling product they can’t resist…these types of “deals” are to funnel people into it.

A 4+2 day base ticket is still $650 plus tax per person. Add park hopping and tax and food and lodging and airfare and it quickly becomes a tough nut to swallow.

This also cuts the legs out from under them for the 4+2 hotel/ticket deal.
There is absolutely no reason now why anyone should pay rack rate just to get 2 free nights.
Depends on the date though, I've just seen as low as $500 for dates in the middle of peak humidity - August.
Just remember, no one can buy a LL if no one is buying tickets...and they need that LL OI.

It’s just PR/perception for mommy and daddy to think it makes sense
That’s nothing new. It’s just above the roof now

…better…but the market says what is “good”
They’ve had trouble getting people to Orlando
No epic universe excuse this time (which was silly anyway…but whatever)
Rough times for an old ceo who just appointed himself “guy who’s gonna do what I feel like”…again

There’s no reason to think that won’t happen…this is their first try at “defining their market”…doesn’t mean it will work

If they were smart, they'd have a Summer "Festival of America" for the 250th that runs between Flower and Garden and Food and Wine. I'm sure they could come up with some type of creative use for the kiosks to still do international offerings with an American twist. (you know like ketchup and spaghetti at Italy.....kidding....or am I?)
Summer festivals with food kiosks are a no go due to operational challenges. They tried!

…too easy
Not enough free CP labor and Thunderstorms... But they need it for Epcot during the summer badly...especially this year as a draw for WDW.
Discounts are nice, but other than the Halloween Parties people need a motivation to go, especially for casual repeat guests.

operational challenges such as no one being there to load the queues for $12 tostadas…perhaps?
