I was just thinking about this. The paradigm we seem to look at these attractions is build cost, when in reality it seems TWDC is even more flinty when it comes to ongoing, recurring, operational costs.
We’re returned to “believing everything” around here again. It’s like the 90’s
So studios and dak aren’t filled with “Disney visitors”?
Once again, I have no idea what you’re talking about or responding to. I simply said I don’t see how over half the balance of a 4-day vacation shifts toward Universal for the average family when height requirement issues remain and there will still be significantly more at Disney regardless of any updates Universal may make in the foreseeable future.
It’s absolutely the longterm costs. That shouldn’t be questioned
Please use the context clue of the portion of the post I quoted and responded to.
It's $60 billion divided by 10 years and 5 parks. Not that much more than is usually spent in capex.
You said you can’t see “Disney visitors getting a full day out of universal”…which is not the same as “they’re more to do in magic kingdom”
That was off the table on 4/22/98
I try not to speak in definitive terms around here too much, but I can't understand why this one keeps catching on.
** and cruise ships
I said I don’t see how you’re stretching 3 full days out of Universal (minus Volcano Bay) but only 1 out of Disney World, especially for families with young children. Please actually read before responding to me. My posts aren’t a vehicle for you to ping me just to reiterate an unrelated complaint. You also placed quotation marks around something that isn’t a direct quote from me to slightly twist what was said.
The real answer is they should be doing both. Magic kingdom is completely under built for its guest count. Unfortunately they've sat on their hands for so long with both that now they're going to have a really hard time getting it accomplished.
Yeah this is the big issue. Lack of incremental capacity additions and lack of maintenance has caught up to them now at the same time.
I wasn’t saying anyone necessarily was…the way you phrased it…you made it seem Disney had 4 full or multi day parks…and universals were halfsies
The time a person spends at a park is going to largely be up to the personal choices/likes of the visitor to be sure. But how are yijj in getting out of HS in like 3 hours, absent just skipping large amounts of offerings? Hell just eating a single meal at one sit down restaurant is going to take up an hour of time. Add in all the shops, the shows, and then all the rides, if you are doing every then there is no way you are getting out of there in 3-4 hours
