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.
So understanding the government is a combination of lazy, corrupt, and inept, Disney is still a publicly traded company, so I don't know why they'd risk fines and prison time by faking Q2 park visits and revenue, while also simultaneously admitting poor streaming and film results.
Also, as far as "proof" goes, an empty picture is pretty meaningless. I can show up early and be the first person in line to enter the park on the busiest day of the year and sprint anywhere in the park and take a picture that will be mostly empty because they haven't let that many people in yet.
Nor are comparisons to previous years as the date a holiday falls and the weather on that day impact admissions, especially when you consider how many season pass holders there are.
Since I wasn't there, I ultimately have no idea. I just know this forum tends to latch onto anything that seems good for us regardless of how speculative it is. Then the fact checkers cherry pick the most hyperbolic statement about it and "debunk" it.
