Pretty sure. Annual Passholder rates also drop tomorrow. Blog Mickey just dropped the info as well. So yea it looks like everyone is going with it.

So what would be the point? Same stuff that hasn’t worked for the last three years while the competition…you know…is doing something?

When the competition gets the same attendance numbers that Disney gets, then i believe Disney will do something. They are not struggling at all right now. Demand isn't low for the product; they are not going to offer anything more than they have to.

Here's the Blog Mickey article you were referring to with the info on what will be announced tomorrow

Hmmm. No Disney visa of D+ promo? Usually they run something for one of those that is slightly better than general discount.

If demand isn't low then they wouldn't need discounts to fill rooms.

That is a ridiculous false equivalency and you know it

The size discrepancy is still pronounced.

They’re not selling rooms…relying on price increases and repackaged upsells. And the profits will tip as they lose customers…not even addressing if the economics/credit start to get tight

I bet blogmickey -whatever the hell that is? - won’t lay it out quite the same

…so obvious it just might be true

Sorta.

Demand is a spectrum. You can still have pretty good demand and not max out your supply — really the only places that ever do max out supply are the destinations that have really poor supply, like distant national parks (hotels by Yellowstone and Zion are always absurdly priced) and now, NYC.

Places like Orlando and Vegas are never going to have that situation, so you’ll always have some form of competition or discount going on. And indeed that’s exactly what we see literally every year.

…the first 40 years or so of a certain compound they rocked 91% average…year round

Now not close

Room only discounts will be released tomorrow for travel dates between May 1st and September 30th.
Value Resorts start at 20% off and bump to 25% if you stay longer than 4 nights.
At Moderate, Deluxe, and Deluxe Villa Resorts, the savings are 25% for stays of 1-4 nights and 30% off on stays of 5 nights or longer.

Late Spring and Early Summer are going to have two different rates schemes. You may be surprised to find which one is more generous.

But you did point out something that to my knowledge has not been done for Moderates and Deluxes.

Sure, but that’s not really how we got started — the topic was discounts being a harbinger of doom. If that were the case, it’s not just Disney who is struggling.

As an aside, I’d love to know how occupancy looked this year.

when the rack rate is $800+ a night discounts are needed. With the discounts the room still comes out more than offsite hotels and more from the previous year. They are making loads of money on the rooms.

Disputing they are having problems filling rooms doesn't equate to being a harbinger of doom.

Yes Universal is struggling too but Orlando isn't the only place that have parks. There is more parks that have resorts outside of the swamp.

You love to make up statistics…

That’s fair, but I think it’s very hard to find a parallel situation from a theme park perspective. There’s very little like Orlando in the world and it’s why I think Vegas is a more apt comparison.

Universal ran some sweet discounts this winter. In a few weeks I’ll be in a suite at RPR for $350 a night (weeknight.)

That’s is not correct.

Moderate and some Deluxes are underperforming. The late spring early summer promotions are more generous than previous summers and have lumped the moderates in with Deluxes in the higher discount category.

The AP discounts alone are a complete opposite of 2022/2023 where the discounts were not as generous and had limited inventory. This is solely designed to get more of the most loyal guests on property and in Disney Parks this summer.

Too bad they pushed a lot of them away
