Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

[networkpro]

Simple answer to the topic question: Yes and the supplemental reasons as top why are legion.

I always laughed when we exited the Norway or Frozen ride and walked through the gift shop where they're selling the cold weather gear, and it's almost never less than 90 degrees with equivalent humidity. Yet that stuff still seemed to sell even in those conditions.

Only place I know of that sold Helly Hansen. I stocked up when there.

Alaska cruises are incredible - the most beautiful scenery in the world and it’s non-stop.

Its nice to see I'm sure. Our relative was stationed at Fort Richardson. He couldn't wait to leave Alaska which he eventually did.

Attendance doesn't really matter. It's not something the investors are worried about.

Yea, it was actually a better report than I was expecting. Comcast was worse, but on the flip side I expect Comcast to do better next year.



It feels like this threads users didn’t actually read the report?

Apparently the shareholders read the earnings report and Disney is down close to 5% in regular and after hours trading.

Hmmmm……Disney stock down close to 5% in regular and after hours trading today after lackluster attendance both current and going forward. Apparently investors are worried and for good reason.

oh no! The investors are worried? Certainly they asked questions about Disney's pricing strategy, their customer satisfaction ratings and the success of integrating more IP into the park... right? Hopefully the investors get to the bottom of this!

If things were going so well, why does the stock keep tanking Bob?

Because in todays world its not enough to make billions of dollars in profit. You have to make more profit than you’ve ever made before and anticipate making even more next year.

In some cases for some companies, but in Disney’s case, it may be more trends and future outlook.

Overspending, bad management decisions, less park demand, etc

The ship is not sinking, no matter how much you want it to.

It's not sinking but it's leaking

What spending exactly do you want them to cut, that would make the investment numbers look better?

Maybe it's the raging storm around them?

I don’t want it to. I want it to be run by a true visionary not the current man that is destroying the company and its storied history

Overall I prefer the mobile order era. The one gripe I have is inability to add something to that order, but it’s really not a big deal in compromise to how much easier the rest has become. Usually it had to do with adding a drink, like one of us realized we wanted hot choc when picking up from Sleepy Hollow. Would be cool if there was a way to add an ‘easy’ item to an order.

I don't think that is a problem with mobile order. I don't think you'd be able to add on an easy item if you ordered in person and were picking up your order (unless there was no line at the register kiosk).

Good luck with that. Visionaries tend to start their own companies, not insert themselves into the work of others as brand stewards.

Don’t you think that Walt Disney was a visionary in his time?
