I stead of continuously boosting admission prices to levels few can afford, Diz should revamp its entire admission strategy by requiring all guests to “book” their visits in advance, much like you made for a hard ticket event, such as a Broadway play or concert. (Guests would, naturally, be able to pre-book visits to favorite attns and restaurants). This would give the Company unprecedented freedom to control crowd size on popular days by having sellout limits. Once a date becomes sold out, guests would be directed to alternate dates. At WDW, during slow periods, parks could be operated in rotation on weekdays, with all of them open only on weekends. All this is part of a system I developed thirty years ago called “CompuTour.” It would not only benefit guests, but save the Company so much overhead that it could actually CUT ADMISSION PRICES, instead of pricing them out of reach.
Your suggestion makes sense, but the current system allows them to meet or beat the q-o-q/y-o-y top and bottom line growth expected by stock market analysts.
The majority of humans suffer a serious mental flaw in that they assume higher prices equate to being better. Businesses and academia have taken advantage of this ever since easy credit, tax credits, and gov handouts, etc. distorted incomes to increase purchasing power for the masses. The average American is very willing to bury himself deeply in debt.
The majority of Michael Jordan’s fan base are black in the lower income bracket yet he prices his shoes for high income earners. Why? He and everyone else know those who really want something will take on more debt to make them wealthier. Even if middle class and lower Americans are priced out, Disney is still a big attraction for vacationing foreigners who love to throw around money.
As long as they can fill the parks and make the earnings expected, the price will go up. People spend sometimes an equal amount of money to go to a 2 hour concert. Disneyland is a full day experience and people. In comparison, most people will pay for a full day of entertainment versus a couple of hours of music.
The notion that people go to the Disney Parks and are entertained all day is flawed. As most of us know, even with fast passes the max rides you will get on in an 8 hour day is 6– best case scenario. Assume 2 hours of eating ( lunch/ dinner.) That leaves approx. 5.5 hours in an eight hour visit either (1) walking around in huge crowds, or (2) Standing in line. At a concert or game– you don’t spend 60% of your day standing in lines and battling crowds. That is the primary reason there are so many negative reviews re the crowds, and Disney’s inability/ willingness to address it.
