Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

[Sirwalterraleigh]

What is your point? Not making any sense to me.

Their attendance is down. Mistakes have been made.

Just admit it. Disney fandom is fine…incapable of identifying mistakes because you have your psyche wrapped around it like a boa constrictor is not kosher.

And just to explain it: many do. Not hard to spot.

We golf all summer in Vegas, we have a tee time next Wednesday and the forecast says 120 with a real feel of 124, just the price you pay for the joy of golfing.

First of all….. enjoy that! Haha.

But second - how’s Vegas doing in comparison to the Disney Parks? Are the shows and rooms keeping full?

Let’s do a temp check for the meteorological impaired:

Current temps

NYC 81
Atlanta 95
Oklahoma City 95
Montreal 84
Orlando 79

Just impossible to travel on vacation…get your Halloween tickets!!!

Your temp check is wrong. It’s currently 86 in Orlando not counting heat index. Do you spend 10-12 hours walking for miles, waiting in line where you are at like guests in WDW?

I was curious so I looked it up…

82% occupancy in 2023

Approaching the record levels of 2007 and 2017

…but they had all those blizzards to keep things cool last year

Not sure if you know this or not, but a lot of queues, dining, and merch locations are indoors which include AC. It’s hot, but it’s manageable and always has been to those who flocked there in the summer in the past

You're being purposefully rude and obtuse.

No matter how many rental reservations he steals from families, he still doesn't deserve that.

It was 83 in Sandusky today and people managed to stand in those lines for 10-12 hours today

Conspiracy at the National weather service

My reply there has nothing to do with his ridiculous rental reservations many caught attention to yesterday. We are past that.

My reply was factual. People used to flock there in the summer in the past. Many rides dinning shows merch etc are indoors in AC. It is hot but it’s manageable.

I don’t live in Florida, but it’s as hot here where I am as it is there. I’ve also been there in July and August before when it’s blistering hot with massive humidity. Is it my favorite time of year to visit, heck no, but it’s manageable

Florida is gods waiting room

If it was completely unbearable then 60% of the population would leave from March to October.

The body adapts…always

Yes and Disney has incentivised people to go during other times of the year for decades along with families more willing to take kids out of school makes for spreading crowds out through the year. This isn't a new trend.

Trying to spread out crowds isn’t a new trend
Being this light on crowds in the summer however is. They had summer discounts on resorts AND tickets this summer as well

82% occupancy in 2023

Approaching the record levels of 2007 and 2017

…but they had all those blizzards to keep things cool last year

Records....
As of May 29, 2024, Las Vegas had 3,513,500 visitors in April, which was a 3.8% increase from the previous April. This increase was due in part to over 500,000 convention attendees, which was a 36.3% increase from April 2023. Overall, Las Vegas had a record-breaking year for tourism in 2023, with 40,829,900 visitors, which was a 5.2% increase from 2022. This was the highest number of visitors since before the pandemic.

It's not a new trend, it's been observed for the last 5 to 7 years.

They’ve been doing that for 25 years…believe it or not I was IN THAT OFFICE!!

And yet…attendance rose on the whole. Not a small number..travel increased and Disney drove it in many ways.

So answer these (I won’t hold my breath):

1. When is the last time Travel as an industry was on the rise and Disney parks were not?
2. When is the last time Disney had declines without a major economic recession?

Not this bad. I’ve been in the summer the last 5-7 years except for the Covid year

Those 40 million fools need to read these threads more…
…don’t they know it’s too hot to travel?

Humidity in summer FL a tad different from Sandusky. Try again.

It's not. I was in Sandusky for Memorial Day weekend and with humidity it felt like 102.
