Of course certain products have there spikes and there dips in productivity in any business. That is what good marketers are for to put other products on the shelves so the consumers will start purchasing those new products and Disney is at the top with marketing new products all the time.
I totally understand what you are saying and I am fine with all of that. There is no problem with how you want to set up your time at WDW compared to the next person. I also agree with you 100% that Disney has its faults and there are many. I also enjoy going to UNI and Seaworld as well when my family gets to Florida and we don't live that far away only in Georgia. I can also see the pressure that Uni may be putting on Disney with the purchase of land, but I still think there is enough going around that Disney is certainly not going to suffer in any way at all even if Uni becomes the super power park in the future. Disney is a multimedia franchise that basically started out as nothing and one or two parks is not going to take them down or affect them drastically at all. I understand this is just my opinion and others are entitled to there opinion and that is perfectly fine.
The thing is like I said in my previous post to another member here is that Universal and even other parks getting larger isn't going to take away from the Disney business. Disney knows what they are doing even though it leaves us scratching our heads from time to time. The majority of the time Disney comes out looking good in the end even after all the griping that goes on from the consumers. I still think there will never be anything that would lead to a complete collapse to the Disney parks unless it was a complete disaster like a complete overhaul of the Magic Kingdom like someone was suggesting in another thread which I doubt will ever happen.
Complete collapse is not the danger...a steady decline leading to selling them off would be. Nobody wants that...no one.
lolI love ya, Liz...
But you continually miss on this one point.
No doubt that WDW - in particular - is an incredible financial success story and continues to be. But the reason it got to this point where spray tan bob can drain it is because of what they invested to get it there...and that is an unseen “balance” that is beyond just the cash register.
When long standing, high spending clientele like Scorp and I draw back...it’s a problem.
The counter to that is always: “somebody is there to take their place”. What a tremendous myth from the young...because by every single economic indicator - they’re gonna be broke. They need a loan from a boomer or a gen x to back up the talk
How long has the Disney company been in business? What did they start out with? Where are they now? They must have been doing something right during the last several decades. To think there is going to be a steady decline all of the sudden hasn't looked at what Disney has done in the past. They are one of the top businesses out there.
I know what you’re saying...predictions of demise have always been around.
Every single park over charges and people still pay. Customers want quality family entertainment and that is what both Disney and Universal is supplying. So people still flock to the gates and they will come if they continue to stick to that formula of what Walt wanted in the beginning and that was quality family entertainment where the entire family could enjoy themselves on a vacation. There might be some tweaks here and there, but that vision is never going to be strayed away from. That is what will keep families coming to the parks for even long after I am gone.
Thank You, like I said with my first post in the thread people can choose whichever path they choose to take. They can boycott Disney, cut there vacation, or continue to go 10 times per year and give Disney thousands of dollars. No matter what Disney is going to continue there business the way they feel is the best way for future achievement and success.
Capacity in a hotel like Disney's can't be measured by individual room nights... that's why you'll often hear them talking about anything over ~85% occupancy as "full" capacity. People say for many nights at a time, so it's not like they can piece together single night stays that fit perfectly into their occupancy gaps.
