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.
But why tout the parks? Airlines, car rental places, hotels, and nearby businesses might all have insight into a downturn in traffic. Just like movie theaters would have the data to know if they're possibly inflating movie receipts. Who would have any idea what Disney's streaming numbers are buy Disney?
And pro Disney? The last Disney movie I saw was live action Beauty and the Beast, because everything since then has been woke trash.
