But in their mind people are still flocking to the parks without these extras. The post pandemic travel bubble is getting really big with people just wanting to go somewhere regardless of value. A year from now once everyone gets it out of their system, then Disney Will need to step its game up.
Remember they sacked CM when SWGE failed to live up to expectations in 2019. A minimal effect towards the bottom line but they did it anyway. Disney bean counters will scrutinize every cent.
Correct, and the beans for fireworks work in their favor.
Nah, not exactly flocking. Modest (for Disney properties) would be more accurate. Don't put off for later what can be done now for a better result.
Not in a non capacity limited park perhaps. In the current environment no.
That’s an understandable conclusion when a mob forms out front to pay to enter no matter what the deets
Let's reverse engineer this. That post pandemic bubble, as far as WDW is concerned, pops on October 1, 2021. They are not going to offer a watered down experience after that date. So if they are going to do what you are suggesting, it would mean 3 or 4 months of 'beefed up' revenue with lower than usual overhead. That is so not worth the damage to their brand and generation of repeat guests.
Capacity limit? What is considered a limited capacity in a Disney property is max capacity anywhere else. In the current environment Disney can easily do it to great benefit.
The current environment you are speaking of is very, very busy theme parks with capacity increasing by the week. They're ready to bring them back and the only thing that would prevent them being back past July is a drastic change in the COVID situation.
Officially we’re still at 35. Nothing has changed. Take a look at the park pass site. Not a lot of availability.
Let's wait and see. Hmmmmm, sort of saying let's not do anything. As for COVID19 results, simply put, there is over a year of results, studies and references. The facts support moving on.
Right, things that cost them money to "better the brand" are likely to be slow to return; if at all. Many entertainment offerings over the last decade have been cut due to this. The point is that fireworks is not one of those things.
That's not true. Chapek himself has said they're increasing capacity and have "already begun that process." They are beyond 35% and there is no official number; there is likely to never be. Not a lot of availability means nothing regarding to them being at 35% or not. Travel is booming right now, they could be at 45% or 55% with the current availability.
As has been stated before, capacity is a fluid number which depends on multitude of factors. 35% one day could be X and 35% next week could be Y.
