I think it’s both.Ok…Disney has told everyone - cause that’s what stocks do - their attendance has been in decline for 3 quarters…go shed and lock in 4 with no end In sight.
It’s a loss…not a shift
Judge it how you like

I don’t know what the Halloween thing is.Raw numbers down means raw numbers down
That’s “definitive” in math and doesn’t blame the weather…
This isn’t about the Halloween thing Is it?
At some point people just can’t afford it. The dining prices are getting really out of hand, and I say that as someone with no kids. Can’t even imagine trying to pay for 2 adults and 2 kids. It’s just crazy.
It's all about the margin... not the margarineI think the kid's prices are a big deal because so many kids want like three nuggets and some fries.
I also think the food quality seems to have gone down a bit recently. And that's coming from me, who is a super bland eater and not at all adventurous. But even for me, some of the buffet foods and prix fixe menus have gotten a bit homogenous.
It’s the established price1. Eh, it's scummy for Disney to classify a 10 year-old as an adult.
2. Okay. I couldn't say. We haven't done any fixed price meals with my non-kid kids.
3. If they're kids, then I think people feel fine paying kid prices for them.
Your new profile picture is very funny btw.
I’m a childless Disney adult but a server asking a kids age seems way over the line to me.2. They care more than they used too…the waiters will bump your kids or ask if they think they’re over.
Often people get so enamoured with fall/hallloween that they convince thenselves it’s the only time that mattersI don’t know what the Halloween thing is.
This is why so many are bypass WDW (other parks to a degree). Guests are looking to reduce the fixed costs of vacation and minimize the variable costs.I think this every time I am at the grocery store - let alone when it comes to WDW, which I agree - I just cannot imagine how much people have to spend on food, especially if they are isolated on site and can't even get off property for breakfast/snacks.

WDW makes it easy to get groceries delivered and many people do that for breakfast and snacks.I think this every time I am at the grocery store - let alone when it comes to WDW, which I agree - I just cannot imagine how much people have to spend on food, especially if they are isolated on site and can't even get off property for breakfast/snacks.

Whereas at Universal we got lightly reprimanded for ordering delivery of a few items from Walmart.
When we were younger my much younger brother was “about five” for like four years.My kids were 9 until they were 12
Like getting slapped with a wet fish in the face, isn’t it?
I put a picture on a thread of crystal palace at 1:15 in the afternoon a few weeks back…
Dead. Nobody on the verandas and maybe 25% at the tables
Wonder why? Can’t be that they want $64 for a 10 year old to eat, could it?
I agree…in most cases quickserve is the best deal…Quick service prices are not horrible, and I say that in the context of comparing to other theme parks. But the sit down dining is egregious. I will also throw in there snacks and drinks(both booze and non alcoholic) as horribly priced. The Mickey Bars and the beers seem to go up a dollar everytime I go. I get a beer being more pricey when in a park, helps keep some drinking down(oh again why are people behaving worse at parks now compared to the old days???) but at the resorts, charging 10 bucks for Land Shark Lager is ridiculous.
The one thing I lament about WDW QS is why can't it be more like DLR's - so much more variety. We have our favorites we return to in both places of course, but man outside of epcot (festivals more often than not), QS is just sad at WDW.Quick service prices are not horrible, and I say that in the context of comparing to other theme parks.
