Let’s look at the last three or even six months. It’s been a steady downward trend. SWGE has not changed that trend line at this point.

For all we know this has nothing to do with Disney and more to do with the general economy, what with warning signs of a recession. Again, let's wait and see rather than jump to conclusions.

No, correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought it was struggling to get much above 1k/hr.
Ok, but that number of interruptions is getting smaller and smaller by the hour. When it’s dead next week, what’s the excuse? High Humidity?
It’s way above. I’m just fishing for the figures.
They are.
But unless they eat humble pie and take a long look at the reasons all that will happen (again) will be band aids over the underlying problems.
Well if Chapek wants the CEO hat, I’m sure he’ll implement the responsible solution to correct these issues...that is TWDC way after all, right?

Hearing from a few cast members that severe hour cuts (even for "full time") started being handed out in scheduling today.
HHN Opening night apparently set attendance records though (for opening night).
What I get out of that type of juxtaposition is that people are being much more picky about when to go, because of the cost, than before. Mickey & Rise not being open probably have a lot to do with it.

Sure, but the point is flight cancellations cascade and do cause issues for a while. I think you should start seeing crowd flow back to normal soon. There’s no way UO is also dead because of GE...

I know it's over 2k theoretical, but what I've heard is that operationally it's been significantly below since opening.
Mid teens. I’m awaiting something more accurate.

They never will reduce prices. They may offer more discounts and special offers though. Although they should. 5 years ago Disney was probably below what the market would bear for it. Now it's probably a bit above. They were too agressive.

Where did you hear that? All reviews/reports I’m seeing from attendees said this year’s opening was way less crowded then usual.
You don’t remember post 2001 then.

Prices raised to curb attendance. Attendance begins to respond. Alarm bells ring? Seems like they're arriving at their intended result but they're not sure how to handle it.

I actually don't. Went as a kid/teenager several times from '88 to '94, then didn't go again until 2004.
Such a shame.
But Keep those APs at $1k...
Imagine the crowds they could have by incentivizing guests. But as @marni1971 said they won’t admit failure.
