Cheaper tickets COMING SOON

[GhostHost1000]

Take out the extremes and it's within a 10-15ish band. This year is basically average?

Keep in mind that is based on wait times only. Many factors in play there including more inflation of wait times and more attraction downtime these days

I mean…that’s the argument?

We’ve been punk’d. Bravo…well played…you got me

With so many more attractions going down during the day, in theory the wait times should be higher now than previous years but with crowds much lower, well ya know

It’s all fiction

There are different factors that push numbers in either direction every year like weather or day of the week.

Have you missed all the discussions on capacity compared to crowds? Or the near daily highlights of how inaccurate genie is?

June 1st over the years

This year looks extremely normal.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Not chasing a volume business where the parks are obscenely packed everyday? Yeah that's a huge improvement.

That what the parks were built for and what they’ve chased since day 1

You really need to get on with your life’s work

Of course it is. That's why you aren't seeing so many investor questions about the parks. Most of the questioning on the conference calls has surrounded Disney+, because there's just no evidence in the numbers that anything is wrong at parks. In fact parks seem to be doing pretty well. Which of course is the reason why we aren't seeing massive re-orgs or upheavals, changes being enacted by the board, and why the current head of parks and resorts is in serious contention for the CEO job.

Bingo , Wall Street has little concerns with what forum members are talking about regarding parks and nothing but crickets during Q&A with Iger during shareholder meetings.

People here need to stop with excuses of heat and taking kids out of school nonsense. They have priced themselves out of a lot of guests. It's too expensive. Til they change that they will continue to see lower crowds.

That's exactly what they want. Higher prices, lower crowds, more revenue. They have been saying this since 2019.

Yep. And it's not out of mind either. They had a chance to bring this all up to Iger when Peltz was going around spouting off on how mismanaged the parks were, and Wall St resoundingly rejected Peltz and his ideas.

They are happy with the way Iger runs the parks.

based on fictional wait times.... or visual and acknowledged proof attendance is down?

Yeah Bingo. Wall Street doesn't care about the parks or understand them. Neither do some of you here either for that matter

This thread started as a commentary on wait times. A poster is continually posing screenshots of low wait times as proof of low attendance. You're now suggesting those wait times are made up and should be ignored? Interesting.

Disney has said attendance is down, but they haven't said by what percentage exactly (and strangely no one cared to ask). If it's only down 1% is that a tragedy?

So now the list of people that don't understand the parks includes:

1. Disney Management
2. Disney Investors
3. Disney Guests
4. Disney Fans... except the three or four on this forum that absolutely know how to run the parks.

I want to know what happened at 10:30 PM on 6/1/2017?

We do and continue to go. Just not falling for the doom and gloom.

ok... I know this will be complex for you but let's give this a shot:

Wait times are inflated
More rides go down now than in the past, which should increase those already inflated wait times
average wait times are down

continual increases in pricing, less offerings, and added complexity in the day-to-day experience with less people coming and/or wanting to come back is not good nor how to run a theme park
