Until revenues start to decline it's hard to make a case the prices are insane. And revenues were way up in Q2 for the parks and experiences part of their business.
It all depends when you go. A ticket to one of the two Disney California parks is $179 on Saturdays in the summer, but if you go Monday - Thursday starting August 21 it is only $104 a person plus $30 for parking. Or for slightly less money you could buy a season pass to Six Flags in Gurnee (Chicago suburb) and got shot at in the parking lot or dodge fights in the park the urban yoot start.
As a point of comparison the AMC in Anaheim wants $15.49 for a 2 hour evening show, in a place that didn't cost billions of dollars to build. That could be $11 something if you go earlier in the day.
I'm not defending Disney, I'm admonishing people for believing something they want to be true based on false information. It's obvious Disney's virtue signaling woke garbage movies aren't resonating with audiences, and that's great, but if you want to believe it has tainted the brand to the point people are avoiding the theme parks because of it the Q2 data absolutely doesn't not support that.
Sloppiness like that is one of the ways fact checkers try and hide the truth, by latching in on stuff exactly like that and calling "False", while ignoring the larger point beyond it that Disney is alienating people with trash films.
