Universal First Quarter 2026 Results

OK people, check it out. As of today, I'm seeing a collapse in 'weekday' hotel AP rates across the board for late June, almost all of July and August. Many Portofino nights in the low $300, even lower for Royal Pacific and Helios. Sapphire with many nights in the low $200's and some in the $100's.
Dockside and Surfside under a $100 for many nights.

This is crazy for summer, even taking into consideration that summers have been dropping a bit since 2017. My only guess is that there's a significant drop in bookings, and maybe lots of cancellations due to the gas and air travel huge increases, not just the heat.

I'm seeing 'some' similar savings in Stay More Save More long stays also.

If you can deal with the heat, book right now. Crowds/lines might also be very manageable.

I wonder how long before you see this extended into the Fall. Economic pressures with the extended oil barrel price increases are going to continue to hit people in the pocketbook and I imagine Orlando is going to take the brunt of it in terms of both domestic and international visitors.

...and now we probably see the proof of why there's layoffs.

Is is a reorganization of a specific department?
