Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

[HauntedPirate]

That’s what the Julian Calendar says

Humidity isn’t bad. But I’m sure 250,000 saw it was gonna be hot and cancelled today…

ISNT THAT RIGHT, BOB!?!

I checked my "Magic Bob Sez©" ball twice, here's what I got:

"Attendance is down due to the heat."

"Attendance is down because so many came for the 50th Anniversary."

That last one teetered with "Attendance is down due to hurricanes" but it rolled over at the last second.

Sorry meant AK by day MK by nigh

Enjoy! We always regarded DAK as a day park . For a number of years after opening DAK was opened 9-5pm like banker hours.

Back in the day even before Iger when WDW was hit with hurricanes tropical storms , the CFO explained to Wall Street why revenues were down on public quarterly conference calls with Wall Street.

Should be a higher population of the blue hair DVC brigade as it's a "dry" heat.

So much for the blue hairs... even the early bird special seatings are available.

WDI sets the standard in supersized vegetable monuments

Mobbed!! Unprecedented demand!!!

Mobbed!! Unprecedented demand!!!

That is normally one of the worst bottlenecks in all of WDW. Wow.

 

[Trauma]

So the parks are dead but look at the wait times.

It’s time for the hardcore to come to terms with the fact that WDW is currently a terrible product.

People are going to be put off, in the social media age bad word of mouth spreads quicker than it use too.

How does the most important division of the company have no leadership?

The only plan that they seem to have is raise prices, raise prices, raise prices.

It’s like they are trying to put on a masterclass in how to destroy brand loyalty.

What are you doing Disney?

Did you look at the wait times? They look amazing. Even Frozen is only 60 minutes.
I can only hope for this in December.

As a guest they are great but as company it's not good at all. This is the first long weekend of summer, the parks should be packed.

Obviously.

I was at MK about 4 days after 9/11. It was far more crowded even then than in that photo.

 

[Jrb1979]

Even worse is the amount of availability resorts for this weekend. Just about every resort has room available.

I'm curious why it would be packed on what is many people's last day of school? Do most people skip that?

 

[HauntedPirate]

No Pooh, no Space, and the longest wait time at MK right now is 65 for PPF and 70 for Mine Train. Wow...

I remember that and I agree

It’s not empty…but not crowded at all.

They had 65 posted on mine train and for grins we waited. 41

Got frankly bored by 2 and went back to the hotel

Unprecedented demand, Bobby

See 41 minutes is in my range for Mine train.

You bring up a good point.

The posted wait times are FAKE to make folks want to buy Genie+ and ILL!!!!!!
