This is really sad news it feels like the end of an era. I suppose it will probably be the last year for Avatar jokes in Bill and Ted.
You ain't seen nothing yet. Wait until late 2019 mid 2020. Orlando will go crazy.Time to shut the attendance decline thread and open up the attendance increase thread.

In the past few weeks I've seen more Brazilian tour groups than I saw all of last year.
So that seems to have swung back the other way.
The Disney Quarterly today call said attendance was down.
We all called that one right.....5% attendance drop USA....Iger blamed the drop on Hurricane Matthew & New Years on a weekend . No mention of last years Iger's excuse of Disney diverting their attendance to slower times of the year causing attendance drops. ....Hmmmmm ...Said they maintained their revenue increase by price raises and adapting expenses (cost & staff cutting).......No mention of why Universal wasn't affected as badly by the hurricane or New Years dates.The Disney Quarterly today call said attendance was down.
True.
But again they said that spending was up so I know we all say that it's a spin job for them to say decreased crowds was a plan, but if they are still making more money quarter-over-quarter (and the parks were closed for a day in October), then, while it may not have been planned, whatever they are doing DOES seem to be working, no?The Disney Quarterly today call said attendance was down.

GotchaI was merely commenting that Epcyclo said crowds seem up, and stated that last qtr Disney said attendance was down. Wasn't a comment on any thing not working or failing.
Can't help but wonder, on reflection, if Uni feel like it would have been better to invest in Potter stage 3 to compete with Star Wars. I know F&F was planned originally as 2017, but you feel like something major is needed for 2019.
As it stands all we know of theme park wise is F&F for 2018...and Nintendo...sometime
Things, are in fact, going to get wonky.While things may spike with Pandora and VB, there's just as much chance things could go the other way due to political and economic issues.
I really believe this land will be the most visually stunning land to date. I love what I've seen so far and we've haven't seen it all. With Avatar and Star Wars land, Universal might see a decrease in attendance/Passholders until Nintendo Land is built. I'm buying my Disney annual pass soon and not renewing my Universal pass.
