It’s not even a Florida law. Plus if it was the mouse I’m sure could lobby for the Florida law being changed, but again it’s not a Florida law unless someone can cite which law it is.…a strict “law and order” kinda place

FDOT REGULATION 392.62 REQUIRES THAT ALL STROLLERS BE FOLDED AND CARRY ON ARTICLES BE SECURED KEEPING AISLES AND EXITS CLEAR.

It’s your time, but I have a feeling it’s being wasted here.

The issue with strollers was never a problem when my kids were little we used a compact umbrella stroller (that was the norm). Now some will say OMG they are unsafe well we never had a problem --never tipped over- no child ever injured.

Oh look, another piece of absolute drivel from Caroline Reid. This is not the first time I’ve complained about her “journalism”. But since she’s another ranting fan girl who somehow has found ongoing employment, I’m not surprised there’s barely a critical look at it.
What you can’t understand from the article, because she is trying to force a point is that OI domestically was up. International was down. Why? It’s basically explained that Paris collapsed that quarter with the Olympics. End of article; but she wanted to rant about WDW I suppose.
Globally - experiences remains 20% up over 2019, despite the large international decline.
Then she starts trying to draw weird quarter on quarter conclusions with known seasonal variability. Surprise. Halloween and Christmas is always their biggest quarter.
But we do know the quarterly report was weeks ago? I’d say she shouldn’t quit her day job as a journalist to pretend being a financial analyst… but she has no skill in either. Jake from Nebraska and a tweet from Jim Schull are certainly worth farting out an article. My one compliment is this one is less meandering and wordy than her usual schlock.

That’s what you get for actually reading the article.
…yeah…that’s what I got on my bingo card
I showed up to Epcot today wearing my aristocratic crown and with a slice of Cake Bake Shop cake in hand, but alas none if my fellow aristocracy was present. No capes, crowns, or thrones!
…you feeling ok?

Thank you for providing the citation. Here is what it says
“
§ 392.62 Safe operation, buses.
No person shall drive a bus and a motor carrier shall not require or permit a person to drive a bus unless—(a) All standees on the bus are rearward of the standee line or other means prescribed in § 393.90 of this subchapter;
(b) All aisle seats in the bus conform to the requirements of § 393.91 of this subchapter; and
(c) Baggage or freight on the bus is stowed and secured in a manner which assures—
(1) Unrestricted freedom of movement to the driver and his proper operation of the bus;
(2) Unobstructed access to all exits by any occupant of the bus; and
(3) Protection of occupants of the bus against injury resulting from the falling or displacement of articles transported in the bus.”
I’m not sure how having a folded up stroller is “secured” a folded up stroller can still slide. If a single parent has a stroller and an infant how can they secure both the infant and the stroller? Again, the folding up the strollers in and of itself does not satisfy the law, if anything it’s more dangerous because instead of having rubber on the ground in a firmly planted device with locked tires now you have cloth on the ground that can roll.
Actually I appreciate the citation but it doesn’t use the word strollers and a folded up stroller isn’t exactly secured as it can freely move
Huh
I agree strollers are more secure open that folded up on the ground

Like Disney is no better then Six Flags Great America. Families in Illinois pack that park and it's much cheaper.

Financially no, but story telling yes. Sorry imo frozen 2 is overblown . Not every one will agree, but it’s not a patch on the first movie .

Thanks for the critical appraisal support, guys!
Before I’m accused of WDW favouritism, the first time we collectively ripped into this writer was about Tokyo in the Asia sub forum.

Her point is still right. Yeah profits are up but attendance is down. Bobby has even said so. Continuing to raise prices and attendance dropping isn't sustainable. Disney parks are no different than Universal or any regional park, they need big crowds to work.
Cause Bobby said they want lower attendance everyone believes that to be true.

I heard Disney did poorly at the box office last year thanks to Genie+. Another Caroline article inbound! But Forbes lacks editorial oversight.
I’m somehow getting a reputation, but it’s not that people don’t have valid criticisms of many arms of the company… it just annoys me when we have to start lying and contorting data that in no way is related to the gripe(s) at hand.
The data is right there for the picking, but not when you lack financial literacy or critical appraisal skills. It’s easy just to make things up that “sound right”, but very clearly are not.

And I have never, ever argued to the contrary. Walter is always annoyed at me, but I actually don’t deny the real data.
The resort is clearly down from its 2019 peak. Albeit somehow stymied a further freefall this year. Universal has really been in decline this year awaiting epic. Which is hardly a surprise.
This wasn’t actually what the article analyzed. She was talking about Q4. She somehow got confused about the difference between domestic OI and global, or chose to ignore it to rant about WDW.
