There is no way this is true. People plan Disney trips long in advance, months if not years. They come from all over the world. Disney keeps raising the price of tickets just to try and limit the number of people who come. No way the parks ate empty so soon.
You’re correct. I know people who had money sunk into non refundable stuff, years of gift cards, park issued vouchers etc., that went to basically make Disney give something for money they have already received. Reports were that line rides were averaging about 90 minutes for popular attractions last week. I’m sure Disney will feel some pain, but it will be hard to break the American “magic addicts” from the spell.
I had a three-day pass a few decades ago, but only used two days of it. I saw all I wanted to see. The pass said it was good forever, so I gave it to someone a few years ago and they were able to use it.
In Disneyland, we had a guy working there that took pictures of kids and was caught selling them. Only the guy selling the images was charged. There were others who also worked at Disneyland involved (one of the tram drivers, we reported everything with more than enough evidence to police and FBI), all kept working there until some quit this year because of pay.
At Knotts we had a guy that sexually abused a high school girl in orange county and afaik he never saw so much as a charge.
Neither of these made the news. Both cases and many more cases, we had plenty of evidence even victims willing to go on record, the parks and police in CA are complicit with this bs.
I’m wondering this too. We had tickets we bought to Disneyland last year and had to postpone. We had rescheduled for this summer. I am really struggling with it now and don’t want to step foot in what used to be my all time favorite place to visit. We paid a lot of money for these tickets and Disney just has such a bitter taste in my mouth now. We canceled Disney+ immediately when all this came out. But most won’t give up tickets purchased in advance that are non refundable. I can see this having a bigger impact many months to a year down the road as people say they won’t book any future trips. But many (most?) who have currently booked will still be using the tickets they paid for.
One thing you can do to test how busy the parks are is to view the app that each park has. Although you have to have an account in order to view.
But for example, at 9:30Pm PST on a Sunday, Disneyland app says there’s an 80 minute wait for Space Mountain, the Matterhorn a 45 min wait, Indiana Jones is 85 minutes. Most other rides seem to be around a 10-20 minute wait.
Spring Break for most schools are over for now. It will pick up after schools are out for the summer break. I don't see Disney going down any time soon. May be in their movies but not theme parks. Too many sleepy idiots.
Fake - I’m unfortunately at Disney right now. Someone has to keep an eye on the family….I have no idea what full looks like but there’s plenty of assholes here. Not as many masks as I was expecting, I thought I would be surrounded by stupid assholes. Take that back, I’m pretty sure everyone here is a stupid asshole, including me for just being here.
Well also consider the increasing poverty and out of control inflation. I HIGHLY doubt this is a protest boycott. I think rather its a sign of the times and one of those "Writing on the wall" about the pending collapse.
Who the hell can afford a Disney park anymore?
Politics aside, nobody has money to spend on shit that doesn't matter. Hell even the things we NEED we are desperately scraping by on stuff made pre 2019, and fixing what we can because nobody can afford anything.
Just trying to get food in the fridge is hard these days.
The economy is dead man walking. Its not going for a recession, its going to its grave.
If Disney REALLY wanted to limit the number of people in the park, they would NOT have the payment plan for their Annual Passes/Magic Keys. Disney keeps raising their prices because they can. People will pay it, especially in California (The Original Magic Kingdom). If people would stop going, there would be discounts. I know the tide is starting to turn in CA. A lot of people are leaving to other states: TN, AZ, FL, and others where their $$$ will go farther and they can live without restrictions. (All the ones leaving the state that I know are independents are republicans).

Exactly, just more fake bullshit, we need some QC on all this fake false hopium.
That picture looks years old to me
You can still see the twin towers in the background
It’s probably just before rope drop or immediately after. I believe many bloggers & social media accounts might get in early to photograph.

This stuff has been brewing for a while now.
It's true, this time people are turned off. A governor pointed out they have sex traffickers working there.
Not even a stretch people would cancel

I wouldn't be so sure.

They were this empty around this time last year. I know because I was there at that time.
Especially not during spring break!

Yeah. Simple Google Maps search shows Epcot is still just as busy as it always is.

Parents rule. You cross them and they cross you out.
You are forgetting how many locals have passes. I have many friends that finally woke up and aren't going anymore.
