Are they even advertising in Orlando ? I landed at MCO recently and did not even see advertisement on Epic to be opening.

Is attendance really down at WDW this or…
- Thread starter coachb
- Start date
I would assume they are waiting until they have an opening date?
But I don’t know much about how these marketing campaigns usually play out, so I could be completely wrong.

They do have a preview centre at City Walk. You have to go through a sketchy neighborhood with riff raff to get there

Even if it is amazing, you’re not guaranteed to see Disney actually care. The question is whether or not it hits a vacation saturation point at which the parks start to cannibalize attendance from one another. And even if they do start dramatically impacting one another rather than seeing all ships rise, the most likely near-term victim is the original USF.

That Margaritaville crowd is tough

My comment was towards the OP as they claim it's bad around City Walk and it's why they have a chaperone policy

If the sketchy neighborhood doesn’t get you, the gators or Brightline train will!
I guess the point I’m trying to make is even if you love Disney, you should be rooting for Universal to hit a grand slam here.
Competition is a good thing, I would love for nothing more then an escalating Theme park war between the Mouse and Universal.
Chances might be remote, but it would be great news for theme park fans everywhere.

They’re theme parks. There’s really no reason anyone should be rooting against the success of anything unless they have some weird fan complex.
Just look at this, doesn’t this look amazing and it’s opening in less than a year. Looking at the model How to Train Your Dragon Land nearly contains as many rides as all of Animal Kingdom. As a theme park fan I do not know how you can’t be excited to see the first major theme park open with a full slate of attractions for the first time in this country in 26 years.

This stuff happens all the time.They’re theme parks. There’s really no reason anyone should be rooting against the success of anything unless they have some weird fan complex.
Ever hear the kids arguing about Xbox or PlayStation?
I don’t understand it myself, I want Disney and Universal to succeed. However for whatever reason people will become tribal about all sorts of things.

This would take 46 years to build at Disney speed.

If they built each attraction individually … which they wouldn’t do.
I wonder how much my room is gonna cost in the new resort.
Think it will be more or less than the Grand Floridian?

More for the first two years but you can probably get a room in one of the colored ones for $130
Did I catch you? I took these pics Wednesday night after park close.
