Do the high temps have a affect?
Florida tends to be very, very hot in July historically.
None
not a chance
Sure. 150-160 degrees people won’t go. How hot was it?
Well, Sea World was at capacity on the same day, so...
Pride over patriotism! Magic has left the Kingdom.
And, Dark Magic has infiltrated it. 😈😬💀
Pride goeth before the fall. . . .
Well said.
Disney, the Transick Kingdom
I think we need to find out if Chynna has made an investment into that company. I’ve heard rumors that they have.
When Disney celebrates pride day above and beyond patriotism, it's time to walk away.
Huh? They didn't ...Maggats can only lie.
I was at Disney Springs and I saw lots of pride stuff, I really don't remember seeing that much July 4 / American themed stuff for sale.
Blackrock's DEI score and money are insanely more important to Disney than customer money.
This comment should be so much higher but my guess is the overwhelming amount of people have no idea what your even talking about.
I'm a tad confused what blackrock gets from pushing DEI. What ROI are they getting by investing in and pushing DEI? Genuine question, I think everyone has noticed the increase agendas but I'm confused what blackrock gains from it.
They finally solved the thorny problem of overcrowding at the parks.
Simply make a trip to Walt Disney World as unappealing and expensive as possible, so that overall attendance drops! Genius!
I went from spending thousands yearly on Disney to zero. When I spend money, I refuse to be insulted while doing so. Disney chose their audience...why are they shocked? They refuse to read the room.
Exactly.. They forgot their demographics. They had to please the 1% over the 99% . Thats not good math right there
Yip
Go figure there's not that many gay or trans people to pay their bills
True!! They are still doubling down on stupidity
I hope more people realize how vile Disney really is and stop going there..
Going to Disney to celebrate this nation is about the last thing I’d do to show patriotism.
I'm burning a trump flag .
Exactly, Donald J Felon, '24!
@@frankalokrot9751 Lawfare coming for you next
No, the Deep State and Biden will protect me.
I BET YOU WENT TO A TRUMP RALLEY TO CELEBRATE!
We were able to rent a lovely Sprinter camper van for a week and take our 10 year old twins to 2 Major League Baseball games, the Baseball Hall of fame museum, Niagara Falls, and were home in time for a great neighborhood celebration for July 4th with a beautiful fireworks display for much less than our projected Disney budget. We had a fabulous family time!
Now that’s the way to celebrate our great country. Great idea. 🇺🇸
@iarpak shut up and cry
I was there on the 3rd and spoke to many cast members. I asked about "Patriotic" merchandise and passholder merchandise, hoping for something exclusive. Every cast member informed me that patriotic pride in America is now identified with "white nationalism," which no one could define except to say it is bad.
However, the red, white, and blue outfits guests wore into the park were outstanding. Minorities especially dressed in the most attractive patriotic clothing imaginable. I was so impressed by the guests and disappointed by Disney at the same time.
I thought white nationalism is the confederate flag, not the US flag. I am glad my daughter was little during prime Disney.
Wow. Me a Marine veteran, proud of the USA and patriotic. A third generation American of Mexican descent and brown skin. Didn't know i was a white nationalist. Thanks Disney. 🖕
You're lying. "Every cast member" used the term "white nationalism"? What a crock.
Blame guests...blame fans... blame everyone except yourselves. Disney, you SUCK.
$160 a day just to stand in line all day? Hard pass.
You say that as if Disney is NOT the only family amusement park on the planet! …oh wait a min😯…
😂
If you follow a plan from the Unofficial Guide or something similar, you can ride everything with nearly no wait. The plans work every time I've used them, because they send you where all the people aren't, statistically speaking.
$175 and up for the most part
@@followthebradleysfun Even if Disney’s morals had not disappeared, most Americans can’t pay Disney’s outrageous admission fees.
Easy to afford with all those trump tax cuts .
Disney is no longer the wholesome company that we grew up with and families are not taking their kids anymore. They only have themselves to blame.
I said it before and i'll say it again
The Magic Spell is Broken and Disney deserves it . They treated their Core audience horribly taking away the perks and making people pay for the privilege of being there ,they treated their Cast Members like a number , easily excised at their whim , the Company down the line has become just a company . I was the Biggest Disney Fan , no longer . Sad , so Sad but they Deserve it .
Not paying thousands of dollars to be treated like they don’t even want us there. I hope they go broke
And people lose their jobs oops
@@ArtIsDrawingyes. Perhaps the people should choose a better company to work for.
Can't support Disney's woke RACIST agenda.
@ArtIsDrawing, they should see the writing on the wall by now. It has been years, not days, that disney has been sinking and fast.
Anyone with a brain has already left for something less politically and sexually abhorrent.
The biggest enemy to Disney is Disney themselves!
Not while I breath.
Disney thinks its funny to destroy their company....
We love going to WDW , people like you aren't there .
@@nohopeequalsnofear3242 The are probably shorting their own stock
Every single time they come out with this woke stuff that's the first thing I think that this is stock manipulation@@raydemos1181
People also don't like that Disney is abusing people... employees and customers. Gina was a lesson that people have not ignored. #BoycottDisney #SupportGina
The diminishment of Disney that we see is not what the Disney execs see. They see ESG compliance. They see DEI agenda compliance. They are serious about the indoctrination of youth as more important than quality entertainment. They see those things as a higher calling for them than audience and profits. We are watching Disney go woke and go broke IRL. But to them it is a necessary sacrifice. Keeping the company healthy and thriving is a distant second priority to advancing “The Message. Reading Orwell and seeing the parallels here is chilling.
Based on what you're describing, Disney is measuring their success by loyalty to 'the party'
I feel like disney hates this country. Why would i want to give them money...
Another way people vote is how they spend their money
@@RadicalRealism17they’ll just get money from China to make up the difference and maintain their status quo right?
Good. I hate Disney Communists
I think a lot of people feel the same way. I know I certainly share your opinion.
@@RadicalRealism17home I just say there are only two ways to voice your opinion either with your feet or with your money
Disney literally had a bearded Cinderella greeting children. that’s a whole other theme park they should call it CREEPVILLE
I think you watch too much Fox News. You guys will beleive anything.
Yep, FREAK SHOW CREEP SHOW indeed😈😳🤡💩👃🤢🤮👎👎🏃🏃♂🏃♀
If that is true and I was in there and seen that I would demand my money back I always hate it Disney I was a Bugs Bunny guy and a rat fink guy to begin with
And THAT’S why I won’t take my grandkids there. THAT’s why people have stopped going.
@@Wannabecrafting247 Don't be too gulble. It never happened. Timothy is a creative story teller irrespective if it actually didn't happen.
The decline would be reasonable to say Disneyland has gotten to expensive for most families and the woke movement they embrace have turned off people including our family .
Who would have thought, pissing off half your customer base would have consequences. 🤷🤦🤣
Let Disney die. All the best stuff is out on dvd and vhs already. They have nothing new in their heads. It will only get worse from here out.
Sadly this is true.
Agree buy up your 4K Blu Rays of the real stuff before they get rid of that too…
Dumpster fire.
Walt would roll in his grave if he could see what they've been doing!
and blu-ray and 4k
Disney used to be as American as Apple Pie. But no more. They say never bite the hand that feeds you. Guess what, Disney did not hear that saying. They just keep biting that hand.
Oh please. The Disney parks remain American institution.
This from the same people who told us they never drink Bud Light again I go to the Beer Store everyday you guys never stopped drinking Bud Light but I still see you broke jokes buying it being the cheapest there is. Yes I'm talking to you pick up truck guy.
@@tpokmedia7828 Even better, I have a photo of myself enjoying a Bud Light at Kid Rock's bar in Nashville.
Well yeah, we’re still going, but not promoting lol
Disney crossed the line with parents of their biggest customers 😢
It also has to do with Disney prices becoming so high that even normal passholders are saying f this nonsense! People are BROKE!
When you attack half your customers, that half stops giving you money. Not rocket science.
maybe they're chasing the mythical "modern costomerbase"
You're being too kind, it's more than half!
@@DamitFeelsGoodtobeaRaidermy assumption is if they keep pumping it out, we will be forced to watch it eventually. Not sure tho, kind of hard to compete with anime nowadays. LOL just saying there's plenty more options than Hollywood!😮
@@jefferyhodges8835 agreed, they're chasing the < 1 % now, the tiny overlap of ultra high income + demand for obnoxious/confrontational sexuality
How were half the customers attacked?
Disney can suck it. I am letting my annual pass lapse and getting a Universal pass instead. Disney actively hates everything that regular folks stand for.
I don’t think most regular folks are bigots.
You do realize that NBC--the company that employs Rachel Maddow, Jen Psaki, Lawrence O'Donnell, and AL SHARPTON--owns Universal, right? So, it looks like you'll be taking yourself to FunLand, huh, Bucko?
Say, "Hi!" to the rest of 'Murica's "regular folks"...
Why did you ever have one of those?
@@jenuwinedisneyphiles4927 shhhh! Don’t tell them these things! They don’t want to wake up from their fantasy world!!!
Universal embraces hate and discrimination ?
The new disney was NOT Walt's dream .... Shameful leadership
I wouldn't go to Disney World if someone bought me airline tickets, entrance tickets, hotel and food, THAT'S HOW TOTALLY DISGUSTED I am with DW!!!!
I thought this was what Disney wanted. Lower crowd levels. Worked like a charm.
Exactly, they wanted to get rid of us poor folk 😅
@@TheFtm22 agreed and it seems to have worked, in my last trip the longest wait for me was 80min and it was actually a little less. I actually didn't mind but for what they are offering it's not worth the price. Going to Bush Gardens and maybe SeaWorld next time I am in Florida.
@@sandraparolie7179they got rid of plenty of paying customers though
None of those vulgar working class or middle class people -- only rich people.
@@sandraparolie7179 now they're pissing and moaning because the parks are empty- can't have it both ways Disney
Disney hates me why would I give them money
Is this a wake-up call for Disney? Substandard rides, substandard movies, substandard producers, and directors. Congrats! You took a near flawless company and turned it into a dumpster fire.
When I was a kid growing up in the 50’s every Friday and Saturday night all summer we went to the drive-in movies and for $2 which paid my parents admission price which was $1 per adult and kids were free we came early to get a good spot and went and played on the playground. Then when it got dark the first movie played. Then at intermission you would go to the snack bar and get drinks, popcorn, candy bars, hamburgers and then they would have a huge fireworks show, then one or two cartoons, previews and the second movie would play. We got so much fun for $2.
The biggest problem is that Disney is a completely different company now inside and out. All the good imagineers went to universal and it’s their turn to take the lead in the theme park industry.
Universal Orlando was a blast!
Veloci-coaster easily one of the most badass coasters I’ve ever ridden
Their new rides are all killing it. Love to see Universal kicking some butt
I have heard that alot of the former imagineers have bought into and are involved in the amusement park that is being built in the Midwest. It is not connected to Disney.
Great to hear Universal doing well! Screw DEIsney…
That would be the alphabet soup perverts.
Disney started getting rid of their imagineers late 90s early 00s and replaced them with incompetent replacements
We had dinner with an imginner and she was pathetic.
@@bethocdunwitty6641 I was working on the animations building and got invited to watch Tarzan and bring my daughter to it i was the best dad ever for about a month the imagineers were pretty cool but were gone in a few years smh
@@bethocdunwitty6641I bet she was "Queer AF" tho, right?
Bet they are the useless Tumblr recruits! Activists and replicators, destroyers of original loved IP not imagineers! Self promoting pretenders…that are shit makers💩
@@HarryF-tz5fo thanks I heard rumors they went to India and possibly Korea
I remember a cast member telling me 4th of July is the busiest time of the year in Disney World. I just can’t believe this.
My uncle designed and built Space Mountain and was working with Walt Disney virtually from the start. This situation is just sad, what used to be a Light to the World has become.
Hate your customer. They disappear.
Who is their customer?
@@handsanitizer64people who are exactly the opposite of you.
@@handsanitizer64All the people who aren't coming anymore.
The problem is when you hire a large number of woke individuals who hate family values, original fans, and America as a whole - meaning what our flag and patriotism represents and you allow it to become pervasive in your product. Very sad what Disney had become. Walt was a patriot and would be disgusted what has happened to what he built.
Hmmm I have to agree when u keep letting the dominant society run the world u get 3 of the shortest empires and they all keep falling the same way… dunno y we let kave folk rule over us…
You are 100% correct!
And Disney stole children from the parks..and trafficked them..s'x abused them.. sickos.. IN their underground facilities at Disneyland.
Not to mention the bearded guy in a dress who works at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique.
What HE built? Didn’t he say it was built by Mexicans? 😂😂
Prices have gone through the roof so guests can pay for the Acolyte, Indiana Jones, the Marvels, etc.
Screw Disney
The early and mid-90s would see the Magic Kingdom stay open two extra hours past midnight for guests, regardless of whether they were staying at a Disney hotel; and the fireworks show consisted of the regular nightly fireworks show plus Disney's "Salute to America" presentation...all in all, the 4th of July fireworks show I grew up with at Disney World were AT LEAST 30 mins long.
Not everyone has $1000 per day to drop on Disney. They have exceeded the limit that ordinary people will tolerate.
I’m not wealthy, but if I was, I still wouldn’t spend money on Disney.
All the corporate catering mainly to the top 1%ers across the board isn't working. Back in the day houses, cars, and everything else was geared toward the working class.
Disney's demise is inevitable.
Instead of improving the Disneyworld experience, Disney continues to cut back and raise prices. They can't continue this squeezing their most loyal patrons forever, and when these customers finally say enough, expect a collapse.
Maybe Blackrock is trying to Destroy Disney and buy it on the cheap so they can bring it back to its former glory. You know a guys gotta dream!😂
@@MichaelRei99no imo they want it destroyed so they can get the land it sits upon…so much land…that cannot be sold off while the park remains successful imo. All wars are about real estate acquisitions imo…
@@MichaelRei99 The first part I agree with, the second I doubt absolutely, they most likely would quadrupple down on the woke.
I said “enough” five years ago.
@@MichaelRei99They're destroying it because it's an American cultural touchstone. That's the entire reason. They're trying to break the American Spirit.
Disney is being boycotted by families they better make changes soon
We are. And for the record we are 1. American. 2. Hispanic. Many minority families are boycotting them. I only bring that up because Disney seems to be pandering to us, but we don’t want it. Snow White doesn’t need to be Hispanic. Little Mermaid didn’t need to be black. Make original content for minorities. Don’t steal white characters and turn them into non-white characters. Don’t make Aladdin white, don’t make Repunzel Asian. Originality please.
BOYCOTT BOYCOTT AND DONT FORGET FJB FJB FJB FJB
Meanwhile inside out 2 is the top film
@@boomnailedit1609 To the core the average minority family don't cosign on half the stuff these cooperations preach about. Minorities on average are more conservative than the people they preach down at but they tend to say they're as liberal as liberal gets because they see calling yourself and affiliating with conservatism as somehow going against their best interest and their standing in their own communities. But spend 30 mins with the average, Indian, black, Hispanic, Asian, and especially Arabic family and you learn real quick that they're quite conservative culturally and their communities don't cosign on what these people call progressive.
@@alexanderivascu5261 another remake but it’s not woke
Disney has became sickening. Their agendas and grooming antics have went to far.
I was at the Polynesian Beach for the 3rd of July show and they did start late, but it was the full 4th of July show. However, during EPCOT’s “Heartbeat of Freedom” tag at the end of Luminous, the section that has a recitation of the Declaration of Independence, they omitted “endowed by their Creator”…
After a month of Gay Days it’s no wonder nobody shows up at Pedo World on the 4th of July.
Statistically, most pedos are straight people. Facts don’t care about your bigotry.
One thing I can say for Disneyland is that the flag retreat ceremony is usually well attended by veterans. As a veteran myself, when I am there I make it a point to go. Disney's current management seems to hate this country!
How do they hate this country?
@@bujindorkPride merch, special events, decorations, declarations by the company.
Yet any Americana? Nothing. No Memorial Day recognition, no merch, no decorations, no special groups. Nothing.
Much more concerned the June community and celebrating who they have sex with. Great accomplishment! Every animal has sex! Why is this so important?!
@@bujindorkit's pretty obvious when they only cater to people who hate this country.
Not "seems to". They're actively hostile to the USA.
@@bujindork how do they hate America look at new Snow White accolyte all a bunch of political sludge instead of wholesome entertainment Disney needs to get back to old school basics
All the Star Wars fans needs to send Disney a message they will understand, - stop going to Disney movies , - don't go to Disney parks, - stop buying the merchandise,- drop Disney plus
We took our son to Busch Gardens last year. Every ride was working, and he loved it. He rode Cheetah Hunt several times in a row and loved making me get wet on the flume ride. I can't wait to go to Epic Universe next year.
It’s sad to see how Disney just doesn’t care about the people that built them into the powerhouse that they were…
Let’s just take a crap on the 90% of customer
Haven't been to Disney in 20 years and no longer watch their movies.
It’s been over 10 years since my family had last been to Dismal World. (See what I did there? ) They had a nice run but I think a lot of people are tired of it. Something new and exciting will come along that the kids with there families will want to go to see.
@@robertneville9606 The current CEO and Board have destroyed the magic of Disney. There's nothing to see now.
@@robertneville9606 - From now on Disneyland and Disneyworld, will be known as 'DismalLand" and "DismalWorld"... "Let it be written, let it be done".✍ ( a quote from the movie, The 10 commandments.) 😄😉👍
I was there on the 3rd. It was super hot. The crowds were low, 20 minutes for the E ticket rides. Fireworks people started to come in the park about 4 pm. So Disney did it, the people came and left just for the fireworks. PLUS BIG THUNDER was running only 4 trains and loading just the right side. That inflated the line to 45 min.
This story saddens me. While I am not surprised by this, I am saddened by it. When you think American Companies you think Disney, Coca-cola, and McDonald's. And for Disney to back off on Independence Day is reprehensible. Just heart breaking.
Disney just charges way too much to go to their parks! They’ve priced a lot of people out who used to go more often.
DEIsney is charging more because FEWER PEOPLE are going, only way they want to close the gap is increase the $$. Why are there fewer people going? DEIsney is NOT family friendly…its friendly to the 1%…
My girls went from begging me to take them back, to thanking for ditching and boycotting Disney,Star Wars,etc.
So sad having to miss all this years. I’m not giving them my hard earned money as long as they continue pushing “THE MESSAGE” and “AGENDA”!
They showed their true colors and who they are now catering to when they went all out to decorate for pride and did barely nothing for the 4th.
Flight of passage and tower of terror are both 95 minutes right now. That doesn’t seem empty to me
Unfortunately, the only pride flag Walt was interested in is the one that his company has come to despise.
The should rename it the Woke Disney, because this has ceased to be Walt's Wonderful World of Disney for decades
Wait. You mean the Lesbian Space Witches are not drawing families to the park. Shocking.
Not a lick of Patriotism or Morals left at Disney. How the mighty have fallen. They started it by hating on their customers now the people HATE them back.
Stop using anything as a homophobic rant. They aren’t busy because of massive price increases
@@andnear0U812 Rants are also xenophobic, Islamophobic & misogynistic.
We’re here at WDW right now. I really hope you read this comment!! We’ve visited WDW every July since I was a baby (I’m 40 😅). We can only come in July, so we know how the parks are in July. Packed to the brims. Long lines, hard to get restaurant ADRs. I’m a big fan of your channel and I honestly thought you were just exaggerating about how bad things are at WDW. But I owe you an apology. We’re SHOCKED by how low attendance is. It’s great for our visit, but as a lifelong Disney fan I actually find it really sad and depressing…I don’t know if it’s because the Disney brand is just in such bad shape or because the parks are ridiculously expensive and also not in great shape or maybe it’s both, but what I can tell you for sure is there’s a HUGE problem, WDW is in big trouble and I don’t understand what the Disney executives are thinking. Five minute wait for Soarin in the middle of the day on July 3rd!!!!! When Test Track is down for refurbishment! The food court in The Land that’s normally packed and it’s impossible to get a table - empty and quiet. Depressing. Kilimanjaro Safaris walk on in the middle of the day on July 4th!!!!!! We were at Universal at the beginning of our vacation and it was HOPPING. Packed. We were bracing ourselves for the crowds here, but they’re not here. It’s really heartbreaking to see our beloved parks run into the ground. Again, great for our vacation because we’re getting on every ride and into every restaurant, but it’s very sad.
@@chanilerner6410 every dollar you spend there goes toward their woke agenda
Leave the park. I know its hard to end a 40 year tradition- but why are you giving that organization any money???
Start a new tradition with a new start up loyal to America and main stream family values.
Disney went woke, and they hate me because im a white straight woman. They hate straight white men, worse. I'm not giving my money to them
Their stupid Genie program was the last straw for my family. I don’t want to be on my phone all day managing rides and refuse to pay for “lightening lane”. Pretty much swear to never visit a Disney park again. Ever.
I can give my money to people that actively show that they hate me 🤔 are spend that time and money with family and friends 😘🥳🎉
Just canceled a 10 day trip to Disneyland. Told em to keep the deposit before they could tell me they would anyway 💪
It appears the attractions are all being sanitized by sensitivity "experts." That sounds like loads of fun.

@@NuttySquirrel_8 Dumbo will soon be getting a name change...it's offensive to stupid people
I use to live in San Diego for decades and Sea World would have nightly fireworks that lasts about 10 minutes with occasional extended fireworks for holidays.
I could see them from my apartment and set my watch to them.
Because of drought, fallout, and fire conditons Sea World has limited their fireworks.
That's them cutting the budgets and then calling it a feature
Disney used to be a unique experience. It is now a very expensive Six Flags.
My local fireworks in a small college town went for 30 min with a free concert beforehand (from a local group playing covers but they were still pretty good).
If Disney’s fireworks were only 7 min I have to say WTF. I’ve seen fireworks at Six Flags go longer than that.
Disney does fireworks everyday though, they probably just did the normal show. They just have put on a special show for the 4th.
@@mattneil1449 I believe happily ever after is the current firework show. That is still 18 min + 7 if the 4th of july is just a segment not a complete show. That is still of 24 min.
My small town went longer. And again you have the free concert going on beforehand from 6-9:30. Not to say Disney doesn’t put on a good show but my local show shouldn’t be rivaling it because at my local show I don’t have to pay nearly $200 for entry.
And then you have my comparison to Six Flags. It’s the only theme park I’ve braved on the 4th before specifically I was at Six Flags New England. And it was a pretty good show that was economic to get into (I had a pass that was like $80). And Six Flags are known for budget cuts.
I would also say this I saw images from King’s Islands fireworks this year and they looked amazing. I hope I can find a full video.
I miss how Disney vacations used to be exciting and magical before they went woke.
Has anyone considered this is Disney’s strategy? We’ve known for years they’ve been intentionally pricing out people with lower incomes in favor of fewer guests with bigger wallets. The loss of foot traffic may not be the worst thing to them as long as those who do show up are “high value”
They’ve become money grabbers with the genie plus which is going away along with their lightning lanes. Everything’s and xtra fee. We recently went a few weeks ago and it made for a hectic, expensive and very uncomfortable time. I ended up realizing it was probably the worst trip I’ve ever been there
This is what happens when you go woke, destroy your beloved attractions, raise your prices to astronomical levels, and take away so many perks. Disney has lost the magic and people are catching on. If attendance was low THIS year and the people that did go this year were unhappy with the fireworks display and overall 4th of July celebration, can you imagine how many less people are going to return NEXT year? It’s going to be a ghost town.
What does woke mean?
Esp. once epic universe opens.
@@CrownS-n-LessonSIt means preaching inclusivity in the West which alienates a majority of old customers (divisive, anti-family) but not expressing those values in more traditional foreign markets.
@@CrownS-n-LessonSTell us what woke means … you are so knowledgeable with your question. Your blatantly obvious question is the only thing someone from the woke left says when someone knowledgeable says something is woke.

It’s been explained and proven. Your question doesn’t hold any weight anymore.

In my opinion, the only thing that can save the Walt Disney company is a takeover either hostile or otherwise the entire Disney management needs to go

Not denying what you are reporting. I’ve read and spoken to people saying it was very crowded. I’m so confused. 😂😂
boycott woke Disney

Thank you for your service.
Thank you, sir, for your service. We true Americans still love you very much❤.
I have long suspected that the Disney company as a whole is OUT OF MONEY. No money to put back into the parks would contribute to poor imagineers, cast member cuts or new people who are not properly trained, rides breaking, improper maintenance, cutting back on quality, food portions, decorations and fireworks, performances and shows, and telling the public that they’re going to come out with something awesome, and then pulling it way back, or cancelling it. Everything now is about giving the customers less while charging ten times more. With every choice the Disney higher ups make, they’re telling the consumer that they don’t care about anything but our dollar. You make a complaint, they don’t care. They’re going to do what they’ve determined is “good enough”, and forget what the consumer thinks. Nearly every other theme park around has the completely opposite philosophy.
Well, they still have enough money to spend $200-300 million on movies that consistently lose $100 million.
Never been there - never spent a dime there and don't feel I missed anything.
Anecdotal observation... I own a vacation rental in the Orlando area. My home holds 20 people comfortably and is designed for big families/multiple families doing Disney vacations. July is normally a month when I book 28 of 31 days. Up until 3 weeks ago, I had 7 days booked in the month. After a lot of work, I managed to find a couple and their little child who wanted to stay this week for about half of the normal rate.
That’s… honestly really sad😢
The current hires walked into the decorations warehouse and decided that everything was not suitable. There was not enough red and no hammers and cycles.
It’s time to wake Walt up and fire all that have dismantled this once wholesome company!
Disney now charges people for the air you breathe
Their modern audience doesn't celebrate the US' independence day.
Not one American Flag in site.
I was in Disneyland for the 4th of July. They had an epic water and light show that was super patriotic. At one point cast members handed out small American flags to guests.
You don't know what you're talking about because you're basing your world view on social propaganda and not actual first hand experience. You've been played for a fool by people who want you to hate and fear so they can steal power. Wake up
but plenty of multicolored flags from made up countries the month before!!
I dont believe George Lucas could have ever imagine how badly disney would botch star wars
The whole idea was to take it over, and drive it in the ground, to reverse the entire methodology of Walt himself.
Iger told us directly: if you aren’t a rich liberal Disney isn’t for you.
Intersectional feminism and the woke "culture" inspired by it, are as FAR from the left as possible. They are NOT progressive. They do not want equality. They want SPECIAL treatment for their "persecuted " followers. They are regressive and fascist, as RIGHT as possible. Their greatest, and most evil, trick has been hiding behind the word "progressive."
Well Us poor American folks Heard you Mr.Iger.....😉
@WaltRight Dollywood's been getting a lot of attention lately too
now he has to explain his brilliant strategy to their stockholders, who aren't too excited about losing money....ooops !! LOL
Okie veiy
Meanwhile Universal is pulling in record crowds. Gee...could it be that they give park goers what they want? Once Epic Universe opens, it's over for Disney World.
Universal's attendance is actually flat, however....they're also spending tens, if not hundreds of millions on their current parks with new pathways, renovated buildings and facades, renovated restaurants with new menu's, new attractions, a new land with DreamWorks Land, new menu's at different areas of their quick service stands, a brand new nighttime show with drones, a brand new parade with all new floats and performers, new entry pavilions at USF with a new entry system that should make entering their parks quicker, etc. They're playing the long game and while it may not be paying off right away, these are the little things that will win people over little by little. When Epic Universe opens and people see these little things versus what Disney is doing perhaps we'll see the pendulum really start swinging the other way towards Universal.
I was sad to see Dark Universe fail. I liked the idea behind reviving the old monster movies.
It’s just the execution of the lead off movies was poor.
Especially sad when the video game for The Mummy is better than the movie itself (The Mummy: Demastered is a hidden gem from WayForward)
I don't think the movie was half as bad as people pretend. People went in it already prepared to not like it. It came out when people still thought Marvel was actually good and anything not Marvel formula was guaranteed shit on. It wasn't much worse than most Marvel drivel @@poohbear01x48
*nickers* I think it's been over for them since the pandemic :)
Nothing beats late 90s early 2000s Universal. Nothing.
I read on either a travel or business website that there are families financing an entire Disney trip on credit cards. That would be insane for a lot of people to do... so instead they just don't go. And those at the park are the Fear of Missing Out crowd, Keep Up With the Jones', or just can't say no to their children.
Edit: Found the article at Lending Tree, dated June 10 2024, titled "45% of Disney-Going Parents With Young Children Have Gone Into Debt for Trip". Respectfully not posting the link, but should be enough information for anyone to get the article.
My friend and I have talked about this when we talk about our vacation plans. We aren’t taking our kids to a place that no longer is about family. We don’t want to expose our kids to men dressed as princesses. Many of us are still boycotting Disney. We want a company that is made safe for kids.
It's obvious that Bob and friends want to destroy the company. I say let them reap what they sow!
It is easy to wreck something you didn't build and the most insulting thing is that Bob and others like him will be rewarded with Golden Parachutes for running Disney into the ground.
@@NeilPower sad but true
I’d rather see Disney shutter it’s doors than to continue destroying Walt’s legacy. Sad as it may be.
They are either embezzling money, or they are making money by submitting losses for tax purposes, they have to be making money from losses, nobody is this dumb, or a sinister plot he is getting paid by a different entity to purposely make Disney fail , nothing else makes sense
@@MichaelRei99What!? No! Disney is in danger right now, but we can’t give up!
Disney cuts back and wants to be cheap, when universal is pumping money into epic universe. Pay no expense
Epic Universe is something I am looking forward to.
For several years now I have no looked forward to anything Disney has or will be doing.🤷♂️
I live in Orlando. I had first gone to Disney as a kid for July 4th 1976 Bicentennial year. Had been many times in high school in the 80’s and had been to all of the Disney parks dozens of times. I have only taken my own children to the Magic Kingdom ONCE and NEVER to the other parks. Disney has lost families. My family should have been easy to snare as reliable customers but they HATE normal families
They will just blame the fans. Calling them racist! The best news of my day!
I was at Disneyland yesterday . It was not busy. I rode 18 attractions from rope drop til about 7. The only ride I repeated was Rise of the Resistance. The line was low most of the day. The highlight of my day was seeing a girl about 15 wearing an American flag T shirt that said this is my pride flag!
I was there too and it was not crowded until after 7pm . Then it was the most crowded I’ve ever seen
I also noticed that.I think people/passholders just came in the evening for the fireworks. I ended up watching them from the top of the parking structure so I could get out of there quick!
Wouldn’t want to give Disney my money either on the Fourth of July? Seeing as though the parks are already expensive as hell as it currently is. Lol
Don’t forget the rise of violence at the park.
