Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

After 4 days…my opinion is the ride wait times don’t accurately reflect the little amount of traffic in the parks. Across the board

It’s almost like they have a financial incentive to make the posted wait times seem as daunting as possible

I’ll say it again, if you know what you’re doing you can keep Genie in the bottle.

We haven’t needed Genie a single time since I have gotten my pass back. Even Rise has been max hour wait every time I have gone

I use this site for any park I go to. I find their posted wait times are closer to accurate then what most parks put out.

I think MK only did 6am-6am park hours one time only several years ago. Back in the day during 12/25-31, MK was open 7am-1am then evening extra magic hours 1am-4am and the park reopened at 7am, a few days during that time week.

The last Memorial weekend one was 2015 and it had been going for several years.

The long hours over Christmas was more about sprending out crowds and increasing perceived value of a very expensive season.

So glad he’s making changes to help. Oh wait.

What economic downturn? unemployment is the lowest in history, Real Estate prices are ridiculous and things keep selling, people are spending, Construction projects are going on everywhere despite not being able to find enough labor... Maybe it is not the downturn but people are tired of going to Walt Construction World...lol

That’s what people said in 2007 too.

you know there's a problem when they don't sell annual passes since covid.. and then all of a sudden recently they do, AND now are up'ing the discounts for the summer.

after covid - psft we don't need AP holders
now - omg please come back, we love you and need you! please help us - here's a magnet, no hard feelings right?

Yeah this kind of lost me…. I got universal passes during Covid and disney didn’t want anything to do with me. Universal has grown on me.

I looked at the website but I didn't see how/where they get their data. Do you know?

They get it from the parks themselves and from people messaging them while in the parks.

When was that? The latest I have seen going back more than 7 years was 1am hard close and reopen at 6am during Christmas. I looked up the history and on Dec 30 they had EMH till 3 and EMH the next morning at 7am but that ended in 2016

Late 1990s/ early 2000s, you do recall back in the day EMH was 3 hours ?

There are still plenty of people here don’t get me wrong, but it’s not anything like it was over spring break just a few months ago.

That was still 24 minutes too long for me…

The evening hour 22 minute wait for rat was nice to top off the long weekend…

Adieu, WDW

I held the line up. I was doing something in the queue that warranted a delay.

Off to Jelly Rolls!

The 40 minute wait for Smugglers was actually 40 seconds.
