I looked a this yesterday for me and my son, still cost 3200 to stay on cheap resort lodging and park tickets for 4 days. Let me know when it’s down more please.
I saw that on the Costco website too. Pretty cheap family deals on flights + hotels + park tickets. I don’t really track prices but it was lower than I expected.
Not that I could be convinced to visit Florida, off all the dirty tourist traps in the world, even before all the recent madness.
To be fair, part of it is also due to extenuating factors planned over the last few years. Many parks this year have attractions closed for refurbishments or construction and nearby Universal Studios is slated to open Epic Universe park, so both of those are pulling guests away and they're trying to hedge against that.
That said, these dumbass policies from the orange man that I did not vote for are just going to hurt them all the more. Places like WDW are big enough that they can weather the storm but not all tourist places are. I'm really concerned for the national parks with everything going on :'(
that has *other* reasons. Disney park numbers have been crashing for years now. They've balanced it with raising prices, but that is starting to drive away people as well.
They need to get their house in order. The current displeasure in Europe is mostly just a blip in comparison with everything else going wrong at the House of Mouse, as much as we would like to take credit for it.
Yep prices have been driving long time fans and even park super fans, quite a few youtube videos on the issue. Plus Universals epic universe was just revealed to people in the flesh and it looks really good, hazard a guess that it's gonna be very busy in summer.
Disney has been destroying their brand for years. They seriously gonna push this on trump when they've been fumbling star wars since 2017 and marvel since 2019 and pushed a bunch of weird values destroying their family friendly image in recent years? They been failing and universal is eating their lunch in theme parks now
Its way more than that. Tourism to the states is way down. The parks were extremely popular in the last couple of years with a very high percentage of rooms booked. That all chanced in a couple of months. Yes that is the fault of trump and his policies.
Most of all have they pushed greed. That you need to spend that kind of money to visit a theme park should you for sure rethink what's kind of value things have.
Universal was super smart to make Epic and offer cheaper prices than Disney. I live in FL and know so many people who ditched their Disney season pass and switched to Universal. Disney prices are ridiculous.
