It is. But that also makes one wonder if the soft 2024 bookings are rolling into at least early 2025, or if this is something else.That's a bit far out.

9 months?That's a bit far out.
Their promo needs are determined by mid to long range forecasts…always have been. As I stated above…they’ve actually under reacted to this point and should have done more. But that goes against the philosophy of hubris they have sold themselves onIt is.

Bounceback offers are now extending into "select dates through 2025."
Take that as you will.
Not 9 months. Dates thru October 2025, so 18 months.....9 months?
The majority of people in Disney parks don’t decide to go 6 weeks out like a fool such as me does…
And it’s proven when Disney looks at longterm forecasts and does things such as this.
I’ll give you other examples:
When they started selling “limited” annual passes in April 2023…it just so happened the exact time their attendance hit the wall. They shoulda done it months before…but the bobs decided to suck up every last drop of that sweet Covid cash first.
Or when they dropped the dumb reservations (mostly) this year…it’s because they couldn’t even con themselves into thinking they could sell that as the drought will continue into at least next year.
But I bet people will return in 2025…gonna be a quiet year in Orlando
18 months was traditionally when CRS data was looked at for things like promos. That may have changed/reduced over time…but it’s likely still the ballpark range.Not 9 months. Dates thru October 2025, so 18 months.....
Yeah but it was hot last week.18 months was traditionally when CRS data was looked at for things like promos. That may have changed/reduced over time…but it’s likely still the ballpark range.
The reality is wdw demand fell in 2023 and continues to be down through 2025. Which means they could see it in likely late 2021 or early 2022.
Trends are trends…things happen. However a decline in attendance without a significant “official” economic recession is something to note.
Don’t forget that Taylor Swift is now on D+.Yeah but it was hot last week.
…it’s longer than a typical park dayDon’t forget that Taylor Swift is now on D+.
Why go to the parks when you can watch that everyday.
We still making jokes from a year ago about how heat may or may not suppress crowds at parks?Yeah but it was hot last week.
Yes.We still making jokes from a year ago about how heat may or may not suppress crowds at parks?
Pathetic excuses never dieWe still making jokes from a year ago about how heat may or may not suppress crowds at parks?
When Iger sees business is cooling , he feels the heat, so the blame is the heat and so on...We still making jokes from a year ago about how heat may or may not suppress crowds at parks?
It was a ridiculous attempt at spin and deserves to be ridiculed.We still making jokes from a year ago about how heat may or may not suppress crowds at parks?
CEOs In many industries have a lot of experience in spin and damage control. They know the average attention span of people is 8 seconds. Goldfish have a better attention span.It was a ridiculous attempt at spin and deserves to be ridiculed.
The heat may have seemed like a silly excuse in the moment, but you can't deny a lot more people are traveling in fall/winter/early spring and leaving the heat of summer behind. I know many people (well, a few) that won't travel to Florida in the heat of the summer anymore. It's too much.

It’s just about cutting labor down to the pennyI still have no clue why the RES system is so flaky. 3 passholder family. Decided today to go to AK. Went to book a park....nothing available today.... not a single park open for AP. Decided to check 30 minutes later....now Epcot and Studios were open.....wanted another 15 minutes and all parks were open to book.
Not sure why I checked back (mostly I could not believe that every park had too many APs coming today). Anyway, way too easy to move on a spend money elsewhere when you see you are not wanted today (and tomorrow is good to go) -- but I wanted to spend money today.
