The CFO has emphasized that he sees the consumer strengthening over the course of the year, indicating the consumer is not as strong as they could be. I don’t view the Comcast comparison as a fallacy considering the financial performance of one’s competitors is a key metric when evaluating one’s own performance. The company has projected a 6-8% increase in operating income for the Experiences business this year.That is a comparison fallacy
It’s not a “battle” between Disney and universal
It’s that Disney is leaning on parks to supply 55% of their money to pay for everything they do…
And they are admitting they are losing or flat on customers in good economic times and using price increase only to keep the revenues up. Which means they will continue to lose more people and sell less volume of product.
Keep that up..4th dimension type stuff
As you are aware, the financial condition of cable networks has deteriorated significantly as consumers have demonstrated a clear preference for the on-demand nature that streaming services provide. Migrating to this new, superior distribution method was sure to bring challenges and mistakes. Even still, throughout this upheaval, the company has the highest viewership market share of any company in the world.
What company isn’t getting bad press? When did Disney get good press? LOL!At the expense of declining attendance and mounting bad press.
Let’s get this straight, Disney’s attendance is basically flat domestically and increasing internationally. They have billions of dollars worth of projects in the works around the world, with 10 major attractions set to open within the next 4-5 years in the U.S. alone.As far as Universal goes, let's compare notes in a few months.
Meanwhile, their only direct competitor is losing attendance despite significantly decreasing prices to increase demand. While this may change sometime soon in Orlando, it’s important to note that USH is also losing attendance. Further, Comcast hasn’t added a single well-received attraction to their USF park in 10 years, which begs the question: will Epic cannibalize USF’s attendance, which is already one of the least attended due to an overabundance of motion simulators?
I used to subscribe to the WSJ and I know what their comment sections are like. Now, I just get WSJ through my Apple News+ subscription, which means I’m not tempted to open their idiotic comment section. I could’ve told you well before you opened the comment section that it would be highly critical. I’m surprised that you are surprised.You don't consider the WSJ credible? To be honest, I would think their readership demographics fall somewhere in those mid to upper tiers the entire article explains WDW is targeting, so for a majority of the 1200+ comments to be negative about WDW (and only WSJ subscribers can comment) is telling.
