The money did drop a WDW. From the Q1 Report:
"A decrease at Walt Disney World Resort reflecting a modest decrease in revenues and higher costs. These impacts were due to:"
"a modest amount"
The broader point being that revenue increases overall, could still be compensating for the decreases in attendance. If attendance was down 20% but revenue was down 1%, it wouldn't be all that concerning to them (because people are spending more). Q1 revenue was down (compared to Q1 from FY23 due to the 50th anniversary), but overall they are still making buckets more money than they had before 2019.
With so many rooms remaining available with these discounts that tells me they allocated a lot more rooms than usual at those discounted levels, or many just aren’t booking regardless
So are the discounts working or not? How are they able to rake in so much more revenue if WDW is crashing like a stone?
Are we living in some weird paradox where WDW is both failing but still making tons of money?
Or are you going to suggest that WDW just isn't all that important to Disney's bottom line, and whatever massive failures are occurring there are easily made up by the cruise line?
Both things can't be true... can they?
