The root cause of the downturn is the value is not there for the price…and the gap is widening
It’s not because they fired Off Kilter and took away a “free” fastpass to Kali River rapids…that’s just sauce on top of the meal.

So what is the problem? Nothing? Everything is looking up? I’ll wait.

Nothing is the problem. The plan all along was to have lower attendance to please those that do go.

What’s sad is most either never bothered to understand or deny the context of when that gaffe statement was made

Media analyst Rich Greenfield says there’s a gathering fear in Wall Street about a decline in Disney parks attendance which will have a significantly negative impact on the stock since most people own the stock for the parks and not the flailing Disney+ or ESPN.

The LA Times recently put the reality in print: 70% of there revenues…two years ago before the slide…was from that division
You want to know what a barrel of dynamite looks like to Wall Street?
And you know why?

Looks that way. You're there and having a good time right?
I was thinking of booking a trip since all these reports of low attendance make the place sound WONDERFUL but my guess is by the time Tiana's is open, the crowds will be back.

You can only price gouge so much before people start taking a stand.

I’m sure Tiana will bring in mass summer crowds and the low attendance trend and worries will be over! Go Bob! Hopefully they’ll raise prices again too and come out with a few more popcorn buckets to raise stock prices

When I dream of thrills and whimsy, the concept of a food co-op is right in the middle of it.

D+ is finally pulling a profit. Now that side of things will be the weight of the company. And, films like The First Omen and Kingdom of Planet of the Apes are only losing a few million/tens of millions instead of hundreds of millions.

oh and I’m actually here for a business conference and decided to use my points to stay here for a few days prior. My magical park day started off with a longer wait than usual for a bus and then early entry into Epcot at 830 where I waited in line over an hour for test track to actually open after the park was by then open to all. They said they were behind and still going through startup procedures. Wonder if it’s due to lower staff? Either way…good times.
I have some other friends who have been here this week who have reported being stuck on for a longer than usual time or evac’d off multiple rides. Not sure what’s going on there. Maybe that are just having bad luck or maintenance is beginning to lack in places.

Relying of us to do the reporting is tiring. @el_super help a brother out. Bob needs you too and Josh will even pop up on your tv to welcome you home

If they opened Tiana with standby I could see folks booking to See Tiana, but with boarding groups, Folks WILL BE SHUT OUT. Its not worth the risk if you are just showing up for Tiana.
Not to mention the average tourist family from Denver books their vacation a year in advance, not a month. And crowds have been shifting away from the summer months for a number of years. You'll get the vloggers, bloggers, and local AP crowds for a month or two, plus those late-summer-vacationers who already booked. Then, the real test starts.
