I am still on Disney World groups on FB. The parks are still full. People are having trouble getting in, since you not only have to buy a ticket, but also have to have a "reservation". They forget to make the reservation and the park is at max capacity so they can't go in. People are complaining about the crowds. I think the 70% saying they won't support Disney sounds good, but it must be in merchandise and TV/movies (which were killed by covid anyhow), and not the parks.
I agree, it’s probably mainstream families aren’t buying merch, movies, music & not letting kids watch. I have unfollowed all the Disney accounts on Instagram. I used to follow a lot of fan accounts, shopping & Disney. I had already unfollowed before the pedo news surfaced. I’m a life long Walt Disney World fan & have been a lot! First time was 1973 & I don’t know how many times I’ve been.
The mask mandates got me. I know lots of people were going during that time because the parks were almost empty. If it was free I wouldn’t have gone. For months I read the comments on accounts between pro mask/vax & anti. It was very entertaining🤣
Honestly I keep reading because it was so entertaining. Finally I unfollowed them all. Disney accounts pop up on my feed & will read comments.
If you think the majority of people are awake take a look at accounts like that. Anything that’s dedicated to obsession of someone or an activity. We have a long way to go before the masses are awake!
I’m not saying I won’t ever go back to WDW. I absolutely do love it. However I’m not defending anyone with Disney! Disney has been loosing its way on the business side for almost a decade or more. That’s something I’m seeing in the comments a lot! They have taken away many free perks & are charging for things that were free. Or, it’s just not available anymore if you don’t stay in a deluxe resort.
Their deluxe resort prices were ridiculous years ago.
Now people have were shut in so long or not taking scheduled trips Disney is at max compacity daily. Even in the winter months they were packed every day. When the Europeans were able to fly here it really didn’t help. (Not saying they don’t deserve to visit)
I don’t have small children or grandkids, my child watched the movies in the 90s. But she watched just about every other kids entertainment. We were not Disney centered with TV.

A lot of people have already spent the money, taken off work etc. I would bet that the parks start drying up in 6 months
