Message: <blockquote data-quote="&quot;El Scorpion&quot;" data-source="post: 8322748" data-attributes="member: 100945">From a statiscal perspective I'm going with a current score in the low 90's.  I respect your opinion and your views, but as you referenced in your post, everybody is going to have a different take.I'd disagree on a few chart points. There is no reference to RC opening in '76 which I think warrants a bigger spike and to a lesser extent Pioneer Hall in '74 (Hoop Dee Doo). Also, Marketplace in '75 would have seen a slight bump) - Disney's trajectory should be upward from opening day through the EPCOT opening (save a slight Fib retracement possibly in '78-'81).  You have a flat-line from about '74 to '79.The drop coinciding to the time frame after the EPCOT opening that you attribute to price increases, IMO, is too pronounced.  Yes, prices did increase, but they moved away from ticket books to day and multi- day tickets at this point.  So it was more a fundamental change in pricing structure - but yes prices did increase.  You have about an 8% drop, I'd go with about 3 to 4%.Correction starts to happen in '88 with CBR, We shoot up in '89 with MGM studios, Pleasure Island (Adventures Club...because I just needed to throw it in) and continued with the 1990 opening of Yacht Club, Beach Club, Dolphin and Swan. '91 with OKW. The '92 opening of Dixie Landings (now PO) -This takes us back to nearly EPCOT levels. Then we range - from the high to the mid-90's.We get a slight bounce in '95 with the introduction of Food and Wine and another in '96 with Boardwalk opening. And another slight one in '97 with CSR. Another substantial one in '98 with AK.Then we drop. Hard. By 2001 we're in free fall (IMO the worst decade of WDW).  I'm going about 15% down (which gets me to about 83 - we're pretty much in agreement about the trajectory - but we're just dropping from different levels).  From about '99 to '12 nothing good was happening (save maybe Saratoga Springs in '04).Then Fantasyland gave us a bounce in late '12 and into '13. Announcement of Springs in '13 and it's opening in '15, Frozen in '13/'14 with the M&G and culminating in '16 with FEA, Pandora in '17, TSL in '18 and the yet to come SWL in '19 and Tron and GoG in '20.  The SWH, the Gondolas, additions to DS.  I think we've crept up into the 90ish range.  So I'm at "A-" right now.</blockquote>
