Budget Cutz: Disney Edition

[Mad Dog]

Here’s what I believe are the top parks in orlando for attendance in 2017

1. Magic Kingdom
2. DAK (Lower than 15m)
3. USF (Higher than 11m)
4. IOA (Around 10m)
5. Epcot
6. DHS

Thanks....:thumbsup:

The show will be moving to SWGE, so that’s probably part of this.

The Pirates Tutorial has also been cut.

Time and time again we have proof that parks investing long term increase attendance and profits yet time and time again we have parks making reactionary decisions to short term numbers they don't like. I'm convinced that the park that will go with the Costco model would call the bluff of investors especially in an Orlando market and go great business. Maybe sea world parks have a lot to gain just from being committed to consistent reasonable value investments and the cancer that is blackstone being out.

A toast to "Blackstone, the Scourge of theme parks, being out"..... Yes, your points are well taken.

It’s on Motley Fool but I’m not acknowledging it and won’t link it.

Updating on this, it's being replaced by a M&G.

Never mind. Crossed wires.

DAK is cutting hours.

DAK is cutting hours.

The most hilarious thing about this, is that the extra magic hour for hotel guests is now 45 minutes. Also the new tiered multi day ticketing thing went live today, and folks willl be mentioning how its cheaper (in very very specific situations with extreme limitations, most of it is more than before).

Parking Prices are raised up to $25 (from $22) today also.


AP prices AND renewals are up $40 for silver, $20 for gold, $45 for platinum and plat plus. Blackout days not listed beyond Sep 2019 yet.

If you look at year to date AP Prices (since this is the second increasae this year)

Year to date increases:
Silver went up $60. (14%) - $40 today alone
Gold went up $50 (9%) - $2o today alone
Platinum went up $70 (10%)- $45 today alone
Platinum Plus went up $80 (10%) - $45 today alone

AP prices are up again? Goodness. I’ve put off buying a new pass for awhile and will now probably wait even longer.

Mickey has been toppled by a coup d'etat and replaced by the Dictator Scrooge McDuck :hail:, who now has total control of Disney.... And the sound effect you hear as you enter the parks is....Cha Ching, Cha Ching.....:ears:

Hilariously my trip in Feb I bought tickets for preventatively would have been cheaper with the new plan! But luckily I came out even because I bought on Undercover Tourist.

I was just telling my mom this morning how Disney's renewal prices have gone up, but I had no idea ANOTHER increase happened today

 

[Mad Dog]

and there was that really huge increase for many of the multi day tiers, depending on number of days, in February.

They are banking on a short memory
