    It's a combination of factors, but Disney greed is definitely at the top of the list. Sky-high prices (tickets, food, merch), Genie plus lightning lane schemes, sub-par new attractions like the Moanna walk-through, cheap re-themes of existing attractions, shoddy maintenance, etc. Essentially, pay more for less and Disney is no longer the must-go premier magical destination. Combine that with the ease of virtually experiencing the park and attractions via RUclips (thanks to you and many others.) Sure, it's not the same as going but what are you really missing if the magic isn't very magical. The enormous amount of money saved can be used for many other recreational activities that are far cheaper.

      All of those points circle back to the C suite. List goes on and on, like the magical express, I loved being picked up, the cartoons and videos on way to Disney , no car, kids loved it, kept us on property entirely. I just don’t get why they would abandoned the recipes of success and make new recipes that no one likes. “New Coke, New Disney”. Huh😮

      The average price to go to a movie theater is $12. ($6 per hour). Price of popcorn is $9. One day admission to Magic Kingdom is $109 ( $8.40 per hour). Price of popcorn is $12. It takes a lot more people to operate a theme park than a movie theater. Doesn’t sound like a lot of greed to me.

    Disney is widely known as the greediest place on earth and as Disney continues to raise prices and gouge customers you can expect it to become more and more empty.

Disney has deservedly earned the reputation of being a ripoff destination.

    I assure you that Test Track isn't a good enough ride (IMO) to determine whether or not I go to Epcot.

And it doesn't help that planning a Disney vacation has just become unnecessarily complicated for the average person.

    Heat has never stopped large crowds before. Holidays have never stopped large crowds before. I know what I hear on other channels as to why and from people on the street as to why. They aren’t saying it’s the heat. Plenty of ways to deal with the heat. Believing the crowds will be large doesn’t create a smaller crowd size. Everyone knows Christmas is crowded and it stays crowded. Heat, holidays, and crowds isn’t the reason. Also this low crowd situation has been going on for awhile. I hope Disney gets in front of this. One way would be to drop ticket prices as a temporary sell for the rest of the year and announce this immediately so people can plan a trip this fall. If they don’t do things fast enough they won’t get the trip planners from other states who care about saving money on ticket prices. Locals have annual passes and can make last minute decisions to go without the need for lower ticket prices. They need to hire people who understand normal people who plan trips. I don’t think the people in charge have a clue what we have to do to create a trip from several states away to come there for the week. Or they do understand and they just don’t want us.

    Yeah, Disney is too expensive. When you buy a Universal Studios pass, the Fast Pass is included with it. I don't have to buy it every single time I go and waste my money on a fast pass. Disney nickel-and-dimes you for absolutely everything, and quite frankly, there are too many Failed movies at this point that are just boring and just cash grabs and for some reason they don't take the advice of the people and just keep making these crappy movies and putting things in them that people dont want to see. They don't want to change the for the customers. Why would i want to go.
    Plus, all I have to do is watch your videos, and it's like I'm at Disney. I don't have to pay for it, and I guess I can feel the nostalgia. In my opinion, Universal is so much better. Plus, they're building the new Epic Universe, which is awesome! Why can't Disney do something like that? They make way more money than Universal ever has, plus Universal doesn't nickel-and-dime you for absolutely everything, and they don't get political at all, which is very nice.
    What Disney has to do is go back to how they were and lower the prices, especially for people today. They have so much money beyond belief. They could totally lower the prices for people who are struggling. There are people who don't have a lot of money in general right now. They can't afford it.

    Note that this video is NOT from July 4th, which was super packed at EPCOT. It’s no mystery why July 3rd and 5th were empty: people on vacation were choosing to wait until the 4th to go to EPCOT because of the big July 4th fireworks.
    Disney is running a $99/day special for 4 parks this summer, but each ticket is only good for 1 park. On July 4th itself EPCOT was packed. This means the days before and after the 4th at the fireworks parks had lighter attendance.

      I love how people think universal doesn’t have high prices also.. have you seen the price of their fast pass or the cost of their shuttle bus from the airport? They are just as guilty. All resort theme parks including Disney have always had random weeks where it’s inexplicably quiet so it’s not as big of a deal as you think.

    I just don’t understand virtual queues. I mean, they’re probably helpful for the first few months that a ride is open for crowd control purposes, but there’s absolutely no need for them 6+ months after the ride’s opening.

    Reasons not to go to Disney on 4th of July week in no particular order:
    A- Expected large crowds
    B- Huge cost incurred to go. Especially in a family group.
    C-Florida summer heat and rain
    D- Pressure to plan every minute in advance or you think you won't have the best time
    *E- Backlash for Disney political stance. Possibly. Wasn't sure how to phrase this.
    I know there is more...
    I have been a pass holder in the past but stopped just before covid. We went last year in December and had a great time and will go again this December.

    It seems that things are just getting back to pre-2020 trends, summer crowds had been dropping for years before Covid. In 2019 we were shocked that our late June trip had much lower crowds than our September trip! The last few years were just weird with how the crowds were throughout the year, probably having practically year round festivals for the past 3-4 years helped a bit (although I'm so happy we're back to pre-2020 festival dates, love me some diet Epcot!). Also doesn't help that Disney stripped away all the resort perks (thankfully at least one is coming back soon), and the prices have been steadily increasing. We're APs so will keep going, amazing how much money those save, but if we had to buy tickets for each trip we'd probably have to drop down to just a single trip a year.

    Kyle, July 4th fell this year in the middle of a week and not on a weekend. The schedule is more challenging. You really should check the wait-times before you enter a park. Genie Plus really wasn’t needed for Epcot. You have an annual pass. You can go on anything you want whenever you need to.

But with no festival we actually got to take it slow, ate at Tepan Edo, since we normally fill up on booths, and we basically did a half day, starting in the evening for rides, then ate and closed the park. It was awesome to be able to enjoy parts of the park we normally miss because of the festival busy-ness.

    The heat index is 104 F today. It’s funny, Jenny Nicholson did a “Disney Day for my Worst Enemy” video and she correctly picked out July 4 as the worst day to consider going to a US Disney park. They have fireworks every day at Disney parks but they have fireworks in LOTS of other places on July 4th so why go to Disney for fireworks? You expect it to be crowded though! If I knew it would be the opposite of expected and that you can walk from AC building to AC building without waiting and get right on rides, I might consider going. It’s the prospect of the extreme heat PLUS believing it will be crowded that keeps me out of Disney in the summer … let alone a holiday. Test Track is not a factor for me at all. That ride annoys me because it breaks down so much! It’s fun but NOT worth the wait the common breakdowns cause it. When I went with my sister in February, we were determined to preview everything for the next time when we had our niece and nephew with us to properly plan. We used Lightning Lane; waited 20 minutes, told it was broken down while we were still further back in line. So we left because we were told we’d get another Lightening Lane when it reopened. Then when it reopened, got to the front of the line after about a half hour. We were literally right before the doors when it broke down again! So because we were first, we stayed and waited another 45 minutes. That’s when I remembered why I always thought that ride wasn’t all that back when it first opened. The break downs insure there will ALWAYS be a long wait and it’s an exercise in frustration because it’s a buggy ride that ALWAYS breaks down! My sister and I determined we’d try to hide the existence of the ride from my 5 year old nephew who loves cars actually. So I was HAPPY to hear it was down and I hope it’s still down in late September when we are going so it won’t be an issue. But an uncrowded Epcot or a water park are the only ones I might consider in a 104 F heat index because most of the queues in Epcot have good AC if the lines are that short and don’t extend to the outside part. But I live in Miami, I can wait until fall … it might still be hot in Sept but hopefully not THAT hot.
