This may be the result of Disney’s misguided attempts to promote unnatural LGBTQ? Our genders are already defined by biology at birth. Trying to redefine genders against biology should not be falsely displayed to innocent children as natural or normal. LGBTQ representation is a minority’s right which must be overridden by the majority’s rights of protecting kids from grooming and parents’ right to teach their kids as the parents see fit.
That is probably the worst reading of tea leaves I ever saw. School is on and people are not on vacation anymore. Surely your bigoted mind would understand those basic concepts.
You CANNOT turn anyone Gay. But on the other hand, are you accusing God, our Creator, of making mistakes!? You all are the most bigoted creeps, anywhere!
No one wants to be LBGTQ! God made them that way, to teach tolerance of others, who are different. That’s what Jesus Christ taught! But did you all accept Him at first!? NO!! YOU NAILED HIM TO A CROSS!! You are what’s wrong with this world, Hypocrites! For those who’ve truly suffered, will find the Kingdom of Heaven! Those of you calling them unnatural, etc, are indeed doomed to HELL. For Hell’s road is paved with all the self-righteous- rotten to the core!!
God doesn’t make mistakes. People are NOT born gay and the bible clearly defines that homosexuality is a sin, a perversion, a choice just like all sins and perversions. Don’t get it twisted by letting the devil lead you away from biblical thinking.
I soley agree. I will not take my children back to Walt Disney!
Being gay, transgender or whatever IS NOT HOW GOD MADE THEM. IT IS A CHOICE! Stop blaming God for YOUR CHOICES!
So how would you feel if someone said that because of you religious jerks they don’t want their kids going back? I don’t want your crappy beliefs around my children…..but guess what? If fricken disney world!! You are there to have fun not to judge anyone…… who died and made you God?? Lol…. all you Bible thumper are soooooo pushy and judgmental is really sad
Hey Bible scholar: Read Romans chapter one (among a TON of other scriptures) and tell me “God made them that way….”
The ACTUAL reason for homosexuality is a reaction to sexual abuse/trauma. Before you poo poo that away there are a TON of studies to back this assertion up. And my wife is a professional counselor who can also give you anecdotal evidence to the same…God does not create people in direct conflict to His laws. Homosexuality is a SIN plain and simple.
Although its a manifestation of pain and hurt, its still a behavioral CHOICE. Better to try and minister to their trauma and help them out of their “deathstyle” than to excuse the behavior away and see them die young. (The average life span of a homosexual male is only 62!) …………..
THIS is why Christian churches are emptying out – starting with your first sentence being an objective LIE. Why do perverted drag queens WANT children in their audiences? Because these are GROOMING events – their method for recruiting children into gay sex.
I agree, the drastic increase in my state of home schooling and increase in private school admissions is astounding. The parents I’ve spoke with say public schools have been ruined by this liberal extremism.
As a mother of a daughter with Autism I dont see it either. I actually agree, “end of vacation time or not, Disney is in serious trouble with the hills they’ve chosen to die on. Let children be children! If you wanna push “woke ideologies” & take your 5yro to stuff dollar bills into the g-string of a ½ dressed drag queen then have at it but, let Disney be about innocence, fun & hapliness free from politicalagendas!!!
Aug/sept have always been slow there. They always told us Sept is the time to take vacation.
I worked there 7 yrs over 20 yrs ago. Still the same thing today. Still have many.friends who are working there.
I used to work there too in 2009 for a year in the college program. August and September were indeed slow, but the slow that they’re getting in magic Kingdom right now is Hollywood studios slow. Magic Kingdom was always busy. It was the most popular park. Hollywood studios was the least popular part because it was mostly shows and not a lot of rides. The adults tended to go to Hollywood studios when the kids weren’t around because they wouldn’t have to keep up with them while sitting around watching all the shows. Again these pictures are of magic Kingdom, and they look like what Hollywood studios used to look like in early morning 2009 around late August early September.
Nope. The OP is exactly right…nobody wants their children in the parks around you and the rest of your pervert pals, lurking around Disney, trying to groom and convert children into your freakstyle…I mean lifestyle.
As someone who is autistic, and also has a sense of humor, if you side with Salle, Marvin, then you both deserve to be tossed into a wood chipper, as that is literally the only way that you two can positively contribute to the environment.

I also have autism and I find it hilarious. But I’m also not a troll that spends all day everyday trying to police the internet and show off my square head either haha
Disney is reaping what it has sown….only for rich & well off…charging ridiculous prices & lining up people like cattle….I took my two kids there many years ago & all I could think about is how many poor kids dream of Disney but will never get to go there. They should fail.
My family was there in July and boy was it packed. I have a 7 and 5 year old and there was no “grooming” taken place. Everyone was pleasant and we had a great time.
Sorry the Grooming does take place! In the themes, redos, remakes, cast members, the appearances and the political WOKE Nonsense! Sorry I have lived here for over 30 years right next to MK and the Magic is not the same! You visit fine! But Disney locally the Reputation is not nearly the same!
People in FL do not regard Disney as highly! Locals are not going like they use to! Summer months have the Tourists but as Summer ends Disney needs locals! We know Disney is NOT a Family Company! They did indeed come out against FL Parents and it is not helping them now! Disney has become too Political because of a certain element of Society fixated on their sexuality! They do not have the NUMBERS to sustain WDW over time and that is becoming apparent!
I drive by the GF, POLY, CONTEM, MK Parking Lot all the time! You can see the decrease in Guests! The Parking Lots are nowhere near filled!
Disney hurt themselves in FL with Locals and with Guests all over! Stay out of Politics! Create Magic not Agendas with Subversive themes! Disney is losing Lineage and without it the Company will find the future much less profitable and engaging! Disney’s Stock is way down from their Highs and eventually those Reduced and Fewer Visitors will show up as they continue to raise prices with Less Demand! That formula will not last much longer!
Do you think Floridians are Disney’s market? The inbreds who make $8 an hour and bring their own lunch in? You might drive by GF…but likely as a bus driver. And when with the 50% discount can’t afford it. Stick with UO.
LGBT ways of thought are
ironically heterophobia themselves, Itzafig. Do you admit to being an intolerant, and hate mongering, bigot yourself? Support the LGBT ways of thought and the answer to that question will be a resolute, emphatic indisputable, and undeniable yes in your life.
Exactly!! I don’t think i will ever take my innocent child back to Disney ever again. I don’t need WDW confusing my child. Good luck to them because i know lots of parents that feel the same!
Disney net income from 2021 to 2022 so far is 27.9 Billion which is a 41% increase since last years year to year statement. How in the world can you say they are failing. That is a ridiculous and false statement. Especially with the addition of marvel and star wars.
That is what I don’t get. As a DIS stockholder, I am told that Disneycis making money. However, Disney stock is at an all-time low. As a shareholder, I would like more honesty and transparency. This stock situation has to be illegal. Shouldn’t they be required to be transparent with their stockholders?
You push non family values such as lgbtq+, push trans ideology, support the left, you bet your business will shutter. Maybe this article should have mentioned the truth. No partent I know well ever support Disney again. Why should they?
You have hit the nailon on the head. In today’s economy most folks can no longer afford the Disney non-stop price increases. They now see that they have gone way beyond what the market will pay. They appear to live in a Fantasy world of their own.
Because the children are involved. Being nice and polite has got us no where. Shriley we need to speak out loud for the saftey of our children. The days of being nice when it comes to the US being taken over is over. People need to wake up and stop with Right or left and start being Americans/1!!
jolandaz, censorship is not the answer, telling the truth to the children about good and evil, right and wrong, and other related things are the answers that we need, along with the Holy Scriptures and our Creator.

That’s a rude and disrespectful comment that isn’t at all funny but makes you look like the foolish one. Get an actual one-liner before you try again. I don’t need to hear it though and neither does anyone else, so move along…
You ever make fun of people with autism, I will find you and you won’t like it. Don’t you EVER, EVER talk badly about people with autism. My son could run circles around your intellectually deficient, soy eating, limp wrist handshake, vegan eating, groomer loving, CRT loving piece of garbage you are.
Now why don’t you do us all a favor and get your 15th booster, drink a ton of alcohol, and go drive off a cliff. Karma is real and I hope it bites you right in your fat a$$!
Stop threatening to fiind people you weirdo. I’m no fan of groomer or disney right now, but you look absolutely unhinged. Go take five. No one’s making fun of your son when they call somebody else an autism. So it’s extremely stupid to get your panties in a twist. Autism doesn’t define your son. If you believe that then somebody making fun of autism shouldn’t trigger you so much that you get upset for the sake of your son.
Your autism comment is mean and scary that you would use a medical condition in a derogatory method. One can only hope you suffer IBS, have a stroke and become retarded too.
Traveling regularly from the UK over the last 35 years. I was looking forward to taking my Grandchildren. But won’t be visiting again. Not being able to use our 21 day pass whenever we want with park hopping . Will ruin our experience. Plus new fast passes make for different classes among customers
Got woke, went broke. Dope, gay pride parades with stripper poles n dudes wearing thongs n bras don’t mix with families and ANYBODY with 1/2 of a brain knows this. I guess buzz movie loosing money was a “coincidence” also LoL
You’ve clearly never been on their slowest times. Of the yr. There’s a hand full of weeks like right now and right before school gets out that are like this. I always take my kids the week before school gets out and it’s amazing. Never wait more than 30 minutes for a ride.
I spent 3 days in 3 Disney parks in 2019 and concluded that the only magic in the Magic Kingdom is the ability to separate large amounts of money from large numbers of people in a short amount of time.
Ain’t that the truth? I never went to Disney till I had kids and by then I was in my late 30s. It was nice and all but it’s really not as big a deal as some people make it out to be. Everything seemed to wind up in the gift shop. I suppose if I ever have grandchildren I’ll go. Short of that, no thanks.
I work there in 2009. It’s always slow in August and September. That is correct. The problem is it’s never slow in magic Kingdom. It didn’t matter what day it was it was busy at least that year. These pictures are from magic Kingdom and they look like how Hollywood studio you used to look in August and September. That’s saying a lot. Y’all can keep saying coincidence but taking it from a guy who used to work there and those how busy each park was supposed to be. There is a marked difference from now and back then. I do think some of the blame does go to the recession. You can’t convince me that that’s this whole reason though considering Disney parks were flagging before we stopped having money. The decline has only been accelerated by the recession.
It’s a HUGE problem for them now. Disney getting dropped. Haha. Most normal ppl don’t want their kids exposed to transgenderism.
Maybe you do or would.
For all I care Disney can take their WOkE agenda and cram it.
This story is not accurate at all. My family and myself just got back from there and it was very crowded and the wait times were often over an hour. The fireworks over the castle were nice, if you were tall. Packed us in very tight. You couldn’t turn around if you had to.
Probably because of the cost? I visited with my husband in June. We were forced to buy a park hopper even though we were only visiting 1 park and it was after 3 pm. We were visiting from Canada. I know we got ripped off but we paid it because we’d likely not make the trip again. Not sure how any family can afford that kind of money to mostly walk around.
People don’t want to take small çhildren to be indoctrinated regardless of your views on sex. Straight, Gay. Boy, girl Conservative or completely blinded left wing Looney. It doesn’t matter. Let kids be kids and keep your ridiculous evil agendas for people that are into that load of non sense. Btw don’t waste your time screaming Racist or bigot or any of your other liberal buzzwords. It doesn’t work anymore. You Looney’s overplayed that game. No one is gonna be shamed or cancelled because it has come down to good vs Evil. It it’s now very very easy to see. The Liberal nightmare is pure evil. Pick a side.
I’ve been to Disney world approximately 30 times. Not anymore, since they changed their values and standards. It’s up to what my children see. I suggest DollyWood..Fabulous.
During the week when school is in session, the parks are always empty. They start to fill up when free dining comes out, and stay busy until after the marathons.
Imran, calling names means you’re unable to respond to the logical and reasonable arguments. You yourself can easily be called a bigot for wrongly insisting on LGBTQ minority’s right of representation at the expense of the majority’s rights of 1.protecting kids against grooming, & 2.parental right to teach their kids the way the want.
This guy, all the rage at parties am I right? John probably wishes women didn’t get to vote or that minorities were penned up.
It’s a new world, we know more than we used to, and historical “best friends that shared a bed together” were gay, but couldn’t be together in public. LGBTQ isn’t new, it’s just not in the shadows anymore.
The article deliberately left out the controversy of the LGBTQ issues. Disney is in trouble. Videos have gone viral showing top executives planning to split their future characters in all of their entertainment into straight and LGBTQ quotas. Bad move. People are turned off. I’ll never spend another penny or moment watching anything from them. Their politics are corporate suicide.
Let’s say, hypothetically, that you are on your bed, and let’s suppose that you are also submissive and breedable. Now, let’s say you are a male. Statistically speaking, humans, that are submissive and breedable tend to be femboys, that’s a fact (which doesn’t about your feelings). Hypothetically under these circumstances, it would be statistically speaking uncontroversial to assume you would be wearing thigh highs (which would boost your breedability factor by about 20%). Now let’s assume you are an SJW SOCIALIST LIBTARD, and let’s say I was you, would it not be under these circumstances, the only correct course of action for you to take to ABSOLUTELY WRECK AND DESTROY me (in a debate) in bed?
Tim, the way some hysterical, emotional women vote via one issue, perhaps they shouldn’t vote as they do not understand what they are doing to everyone else.
Timmy, do you want to be tossed into that one super deep well in Siberia, or into an active volcano? Please keep talking on here and see what happens to yourself and your hate mongering, bigoted, intolerant, and hypocritical ways of thought in your life…I dare you.
It’s hilarious that you feel I am the bigot and the hate monger when you read anything from John.
I’ve been married nearly 10 years in a heterosexual marriage but some of my best friends are married gays. Conservatives need to stop thinking that being accepting of something doesn’t have to mean you partake. Supreme Court didn’t allow gay marriage and force y’all to get gay-married.
Your wrong. Disney should never ever be a LGBTY leader of anything at all. We dont care how you live your lifes. Thats what you dont get. We dont care we just dont want it shoved down our throats. If you want to pretend to be a dog I dont care just dont expect me to believe your a dog. Also anyone who disagrees with this group is labelled a Trump supporting white racist. We arent allowed our thoughts and beliefs but you are allowed yours and no one is allowed to disagree with you. You dont play by same rules. Your the biggoted racist.
Nobody is shoving anything down your throats. You have the option of not being there. It’s people like you that are the biggest and probably racists that make America so terrible anymore.
“GRRRR YOU’RE RACIST”
“NO, YOU’RE RACIST”
Both of you grow up. You all love the other races more than White people just face it. Your primary objective on both sides is to do anything to not be racist and make sure your own people suffer for it. Ridiculous.
@gravyy @jolandaz Agree 100%! Disney is now a citadel of groomers and intolerant narcisstic bigots bullying you into accepting their leftist propaganda. They silence other views or opinions and will cancel anyone daring to disagree with them. How soon before leftists start putting traditional heterosexual people into “reeducation camps” as aided and abetted by #disneygroomers?
Imagine a world with no more heterosexuals. Ahhh no more propagating the earth as it was meant to be. No more crowded highways and ,biways.(pun ,intended) what a total slap in the face of God pretending to be other than your creator meant for you. What rebellion! What utter nonsense! I hope Disney goes under and drags all the woke people with it. Oh and libs stop moving to Florida to escape your own highly taxed and crime ridden state only to come here and vote for another lib. How stupid are you, honestly?
Price is way too high for people with a family to attend for one thing. Also trying to teach gender identity to our children is not your right or job! Changing the park and removing some things re: Song of The South and other attractions just to appease one race. I’m sorry it has been okay up to present. You are a fun thing/vacation for families. Stop lowering yourself to low standards. Your p as to was not about gender reassigning or racism. Walt Disney himself would be appalled at the way his park is run. You promote racism and hatred.

Alot value has been taken away at the hands of chapek. I mean genie+ and only pixie pass I mean we’re supposed to be their bread and butter instead Disney kind of disregarded us APH
I’ve seen kids in the parks and hotels two weeks after school has opened, so I very much doubt that school reopening is the reason, if it’s even true in the first place.
I love Disney, and was recently there, but I have been hoping that there would be an all out boycott of Bob Chapek’s awful policies.
Oh yes – becuase we are tired of having LMNOP sexual disfunction shoved down our and our childrens throats we are bigots. Find a new argument. “we only want to be married” what a damn lie – you want to have every proclivity recognized and now they are pushing for beatiality in Germany. you want people to be less accepting keep pushing it all.
Living in Florida and having an annual pass where I went all times of the year, school starting…summer over..etc, was never an issue. If was always full at Disney. Bob is getting greedy. As someone who has been going to Disney since literally day one when it opened when I was a small child to having given up going when Disney got stupid with all the PLANdemic crap, (and as a stockholder), I hope Disney gets what it deserves and all of this crap comes back and bites them. Especially Bob and those who agree with what he’s doing.
Ironically says the intolerant bigot that hates the truth being told, and those things, along the things that were mentioned in the article, along with flooding, have all equally contributed to the decline in attendance to those places. The Disney Empire is crumbling and you are too blind to see that in your life.
Nope. The OP is exactly right…nobody wants their children in the parks around you and the rest of your pervert pals, lurking around Disney, trying to groom and convert children into your freakstyle…I mean lifestyle.
Not bigoted but an opinion. Just because it differs from yours gives you no right to resort to name calling- doing so proves you are no better. Why not try conversation instead.
Most of the left can’t do that, especially when it comes to LBGTQ. Their thinking is emotion driven, hence the slurs and insults. That’s what people do when they don’t have a valid argument.
Bigoted? Well don’t complain to us when they take your kid away for not having his parts removed as his first glance at a doll. Stop calling this something it’s not. Normal parents don’t want their kids propagandized in order to vote Democratic. You’re just a cog in their machine you idiot.
So I agree although it’s not my place to agree or disagree with your lifestyle and bedroom practices I will not have it shoved down my throat. I know it’s there I know it exists I don’t agree with it but I’m not god so I mind my business. He will deal with that one day it’s not my place.
Everything is a money making business u are missing out Disney is wonderful or used to be 10 years ago before all this mess they have gotten into that they have no business being a part of.
How is calling someone u don’t know a bigot helpful? That’s actually racism.
I work at Disney, and this is usually one of our busiest time of the year.
I suspect it is the stance Disney has taken into Wokeness. You would be surprised how many conservatives are staying away in droves as a form of boycott on EVERYTHING. Disney.
Bigoted? OMG don’t be a snowflake. He’s allowed to disagree without being a bigot lol. You snowflakes realize when you throw around words like that’s so easily they lose their meaning and impact?
I think what you are seeing is backlash from. DISNEY’S stance on LGBTQ. Sure school is out but his comment carries the weight of many who don’t want their children forced to watch what Disney thinks is a good idea. Calling someone a Bigot online makes you a keyboard cowboy. Not a good look.
I agree. We are 50 yr plus residents of Fl and have always waited until right after school started to go to ALL of the Florida theme parks. They have always been slower at this time due to school starting. Please please stop making up stories you obviously have absolutely no idea about. Oh, but wait, that’s the MAGA way, which most Americans have no stomach for.
Thank you Disney for standing up with our LGBTQ community.
Just having plain basic human rights to do whatever they feel is right for themselves and their families is none of your freaking business.
If Walt Disney himself was still alive or should I say revived after his suspended animation. He would fire CEO Frankenstein, then bulldoze both Disney parks from exposure from the LMNOP/Political buyoffs taint. Used to be a cool place and company, I have burned every single Disney movie, items, tshirts, collectibles, including the very first maps, mickey watches, everything worth tens of thousands of dollars to make sure that none of it ever is resting on a shelf of questionable integrity. The best thing that could happen in the future is Disney and its parks get turned back to orange groves or cement parking garages. Besides, fried chicken sounds pretty good about now. You suk as a writer. Perfect example of whats wrong in the school systems.
This is a stupid response, especially when everyone in this country knows the vast majority of the so called ‘grooming’ purported by conservatives is actually happening at their Christians churches by their kids group leaders and their pastors. Facts.
Let’s say, hypothetically, that you are on your bed, and let’s suppose that you are also submissive and breedable. Now, let’s say you are a male. Statistically speaking, humans, that are submissive and breedable tend to be femboys, that’s a fact (which doesn’t about your feelings).

You are one sick
puppy. Lots of thought went into that — it’s called projection. I guess you’re telling everyone you’re gay & uncomfortable with that fact. Filled with self loathing. Truly sad.
I guess you haven’t seen the stats of teachers who touch children and pastors. Get your kids out of public schools. Down right scary what teachers are doing to kids nowadays.
Republicans are turning on Fox News. Oh as a Republican myself I find InfoWars aka Alex Jones moronic. Since Alex Jones is just a gaslighter at times. I don’t agree that he was put on trial for thinking that Sandy Hook was fake. He was a jerk for thinking that. I will rather watch The Daily Wire which is ran by “Neo N-zi “ Jew Ben Shapiro.
2% of the population is intersex. What does intersex mean? Intersex is a general term used for a variety of situations in which a person is born with reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn’t fit the boxes of “female” or “male.” Sometimes doctors do surgeries on intersex babies and children to make their bodies fit binary ideas of “male” or “female”. So that blows your “biology” statement right out of the water. Read a medical journal once in a while.
Exaggerating doesn’t do the cause any good, buddy. Please don’t misrepresent facts, it helps no one. The type of intersex you’re talking about is well below 1% though it is a very broad term. 0.5% show a variation, and again, not the type you’re talking about.
“It is estimated that up to 1.7 percent of the population has an intersex trait and that approximately 0.5 percent of people have clinically identifiable sexual or reproductive variations.”
100% Agreed — according to actual doctors (WebMD) — the number of people born as intersex is somewhere between 1 in 1000 to 1 in 1500. Noel is out of her damn mind.
Thats complete utter BS. Your talking 1 in a billion. Like someone born with 3 hands or 6 toes…etc. You would find anything to define your position. If you have a uterus and its healthy you can have a baby and are a female. If you dont have 1 your a male. Thats the rule in all biology. You cant change true biology.
So if you have a uterus and it’s unhealthy then you’re a female? That makes zero sense, you realize that, right? Just accept that there are more than two sexes and genders and it is NOT up to US to look inside people’s bodies to see what their anatomy is.
Have you been to Disney???????
Do they have anything in their parks that try to “indoctrinate” four year olds into becoming gay?
Are the characters acting any different than they did 50 yrs ago? Is Cinderella’s Castle hosting raunchy sex parties? What exactly are they doing in the parks for you to claim such???????
Do you really think Jesus would approve of your hate? Do you even know what type of people the Apostles were? HE turned on No One. HE said to be the salt of the earth and teach HIS love and mercy. It’s kind of hard to do that when you are bashing your neighbors, which is breaking a commandment, btw.😉
Jesus accepted everyone, including murderers and thieves but would help the troubled ones stop their harmful acts. Similarly, modern Christians don’t hate LGBTQ people. They accept them and try to help them move towards the more fertile & healthy straight lifestyle. Simultaneously, Christians also try to protect their children from being lured into the harmful & sorrowful LGBTQ lifestyle.
You’re talking about the blasphemy known as progressive Christianity. Christians denounce that ideology. There’s nothing Christian about progressive Christianity.
Looks like we have a repressor! You can’t run from it forever, your feelings will only get stronger and harder to suppress. Just give in now, save yourself years of stress and anxiety. It’s inevitable.
Folks, can we say recession? It’s real simple, the cost of living has increased or will and people don’t want to spend the money. The post pandemic crowd had the worst experience ever, from my personal experience. I have no need to return to Disney for that kind of money.
I think most people don’t care what you personally do or are interested in, as long as you can identify the excesses of the rainbow mafia and refuse to participate.
Perfect response! Love it, I love even the triggered comments after your comment, what a fun time reading them and watching the meltdown of freaks at the show, God created Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve lmao.. you want rights? You got it, 10% off Vaseline now get back in the closet
Actually it’s very debatable that God even exists. The Bible was 100% created by man, and most of the stories are well known to be stolen from folk tales and other religions that came before and after. All the holidays were stolen, I find it funny y’all keep referencing God this and God that….listen if there is a god he’s pissed at y’all for being so hateful and horrible.
Anyone reading this please dont believe this bs and I’m not referring to this crappy ride and the injuries it causes but the message behind it. Making statements that this ride is like a bull and it’s trying to shake you off. the beginning article opens up with a ridiculous statement about how bullfighting is an ancient this and that and how wonderful it is.. etc.. bunch of fabricated BS!
Bulls are nothing like what they’re depicted to be. If you ever go to an animal rescue go visit the bulls. Theyre the most gentle animals that you will ever meet in person! Bulls are extremely calm and gentle and yes huge and yes they hover over you and it’s kind of scary just to stand there and be next to them but they’re sweet and gentle they literally lean over so you can pet them! they do not do anything that they are depicted to do! the only reason why they act out the way they do during rodeos is because they’re kept in these really huge segregated warehouses in the dark. they have chilies and yes I mean pepper chilies shoved in their eyeballs, Vaseline shoved up their noses and spikes put around their heels so they have to stand in pain!
they’re not fed and they’re not given any water and they’re left in total darkness and isolation! So why do they do this you ask? Because it leaves an animal without any of its senses… hungry for a few days by itself what do you think happens when they let an animal like that out of its shed when it’s rodeo day?
well they come out disoriented, hungry, and happy to be out! The one thing they don’t come out as is angry or aggressive just so happy to get out they buck around!
because the chilies come out of their eyes vaseline comes out of their nose that can hear and see they’re not in the dark anymore not all covered up in ankle spikes come off of their and they’re just so relieved and happy to get out!
can you imagine living like that and being stuck in a rodeo and they’re treating you that way? so when you come out what do you think you’re gonna act like?
No only are these animals are used as a commodity and they are carted around as if they are not even living beings! they just just go from one horrible rodeo to another to be treated like garbage tortured and abused for human entertainment selfish selfish human entertainment! it’s disgusting and I still cannot believe it’s not outlawed! it is nothing short of animal abuse!
And if you don’t believe me go look it up how animals are treated before rodeo this is what they want people to believe that they’re coming out angry and bucking and they just do this naturally out of nowhere it’s a bunch of BS and this ride is based on the notion that bulls act this way when they don’t act Petting zoos, animal shows, breeding grounds… disgusting! All this equates to animal abuse! When will selfish humans wake TF up? All these places much like sea world use animals a entertainment props! These are glorified prisons for animals! Abuse comes in many forms and not just through physically abusing someone but mental and social as well! You visit these places you are promoting and supporting this cycle of abuse. Animals are not entertainment props and they don’t belong on captivity but they’re own natural habitat. I hope Rodris are shut down forever! My daughter in exotic wild animal specialist that holds a PHD in animal sciences and is highly against places like this for hood reason. Please don’t give them your money to the selfish fools that own and operate this place if you don’t support animal abuse. this way because nasty selfish cruel humans put them in this position they treat them in such a way that this is how they react when they won out of their prisons that they were put in by nasty humans that have no heart and No compassion! remember this before you decide to go to a rodeo your money you’re supporting and promoting Animal abuse!
How did we ever get to be such a hate hate filled society? Pandemic caused a lot of changes, but the outright hatefulness that human beings have shown to each other and nothing to do with the virus. Come on folks. Remember the old proverb of love thy neighbor? It sure isn’t being displayed much anymore.
Frankly, I have not seen anything at any of these parks that reek of grooming. All you’re talking about is Disney’s stand as company to. Nothing in the park has changed that. What has changed is the ability to go to the park any time you want and be able to visit all the attractions you want without having to make reservations or using Genie+. It has become stressful trying to go to a park. You’re supposed to be going to vacation to be less stressful. I suspect the author of the article was closer to the truth… It’s probably due to everyone’s kids going back to school and people’s vacations are over.
he stopped saying welcome Ladies and Gentlemen. Boys and Girls and changed it to people. THat is a pretty big change when 98% of the population is not Trans
I have been to Disney at this exact time of year. Aside from the heat it is a greqt time to go because their are no lines. Schools are all back to in class learning. Regardless of Disney’s agenda, the parks will always do well.
Disney only promotes INCLUSION. I’m sorry that you feel Disney should only be for straight white X-tian people, but that’s NEVER been what Disney has been about. Maybe you should stick with town carnivals for your entertainment
Your hate for “straight white X-tian people” is disguisting and uncivilized, so your self righteous claims for inclusion and tolerance are blatantly fake. Exactly what we’ve come to expect of the “tolerant left” bullies and hypocrites
They can’t stop. They have to keep pretending that Xiden is a great president. They want us controlled by a foreign entity. They have no idea what is going on in the real world…
Which foreign entity would that be? Russia and their hacking/buying our elections, or Saudi Arabia with their bribing
fat ugly orange chump presidents with thousands of dollars to denounce our own military base in Qatar, or China who has controlled manufacturing and production of just about all goods for decades now, thanks to BOTH political parties and their endless greed. Which one of the many foreign entities could you mean? Get a clue. Both parties are 2 evil sides of the same evil coin. Both driven by pure greed.
@kElly Oh, dear, it speaks in tongues regurgitating hate and fearmongering from cNN & mSnbc propaganda of “russia collusion” lies, yet keeping shtum abt the undeadbrandon’s family blazen corruption. Typical leftist, unable to think with its own brain
A good number of employees at Disney are LGBTQ.
They’re the one’s bringing you the magic. Can guarantee homophobia is not what’s causing low attendance, but glad it’s keeping you away.
I boycotted all things Disney, because children are our future and homosexuals cannot reproduce, but they are making progress with artificial sperm. Wake me up when we’re out of the twilight zone. Disney apparently cannot see that Homosexuals isn’t good for business since they cannot have children and Disneys business is children.
Pendar, artificial sperm? Have you never heard of a sperm donor? Even straight people who cannot have children of their own due to low sperm counts in the male, go to sperm banks. That is how many a male college student earned extra money, by donating sperm. There are even stories of people finding half siblings when they do DNA tests because of these donations.
John you could not be more right! Nobody wants to take your kids to a circus and expose them to unnatural people. You can’t tell me that homosexuality and all the other letters I have is not a mental illness. So protecting your kids is a parent’s job! It’s sad to see the woke community what they’ve done and the gay community of the low percentage rate of this country and world have damn near destroyed the country.
No John, that is just a story in your head. The main and ONLY reason for the decline is everyone is going back to school around the country and abroad.
I think since God made the LGBTQ peole too, and they are every bit as human as you, yes, YOU are technically supposed to be, then I guess that means they are natural. God made gay people too, and it’s up to God to judge their actions. Stop trying to do God’s job for him. Look at the man in the mirror for once. Or are you a bot set up by Russia and /or the Epstein pedo politicians that Russia supported. Who was it, what ex president was it that used and still uses Epstein customer/ lawyer Alen Dershowitz as a lawyer again? Grooming…. hmmmm interesting you should bring that up. What was that about Matt Gaetz and his enabler buddy desantis again? Was that grooming of teen girls, sex trafficking, or both? People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
You all from the LBGQT community need to quietly meld into every day life and not make such a flashy display in public that tends to irritate the conservative public. Straight people dont parade and call attention to being conventional. You have the right to be what you desire, but dont flaunt your lifestyle
Please explain the non sequitur you used, “unnatural LGBTQ”?
After all – being born as an LGBTQ is a gift Mother Nature grants at birth to a select few; she then sends us into a harsh world where we teach others what it means.
You’re absolutely right! Pushing an unnatural agenda against the wishes of the majority of Park patrons SURELY had no effect at all… said no sane person on earth. Those who disagree know the truth but are unable to grasp the concept of the reality, Disney is getting what it asked for. I hope it gets much more of the same treatment. Maybe then they’ll come to ‘our’ senses and stop the stupid. Otherwise, it may cost more than Disney can afford.
Always some overzealous religious fanatic or political hack who feels they have the answer to a dilemma and then blames it on the lgbtq community due to their bigotry and hate. Get a life and research what the real legitimate reason might be and not what your hateful ideology makes you think it is.
Couldn’t agree more. Plus have you seen the amount of Disney employees being busted for bad things with children lately I mean there has been a few of them. And yes there policy on over playing there reach on what they feel little kids should be taught is wrong. Disney should only entertain children not try to teach them things there not ready for. I mean come on we’re talking about children here that still believe in Santa Claus and the Easter bunny. Anyone who thinks that right is screwed in the head. So what you want and be whatever you want just leave kids out of it.
John you are correct! I have gone to Disney just about every year for the past 5 years and now we have stopped. I respect others views but don’t want others views forced on any children, that are out of the norm. We have also stopped watching Disney, purchasing Disney stuff and will probably cancel Disney plus. They need to issue an apology.
Thank you John! Hopefully this liberal establishment will go belly up. Companies like this are destroying this world. We need to end the lgbt community
PEPOLE are stupid to go to waltdisnéy world during the school months its not a Christmas Holliday to do a visit it’s not time yet only in Christmas & spring break, & summer vacation only !
Agreed. Our family refuses to go to any Disney park or see any Disney films over their misguided attempts to push the LGBT agenda over family entertainment. We won’t stand for it.
Completely agreed! Disney should be in the business of entertainment, not of pushing the far-left’s political agenda. That nonsense has disenfranchised a very large segment of the population that was once a loyal constituency.
I think you are right. Let’s see if the trend continues to validate your hypothesis (I personally hope). Do t fear opposition to your perceptive position.
Disney is dying because of its family unfriendly atmosphere and promotion of the gay life style. Dozens of friends have stated they will no longer return. Grandparents will seek other venues to spend time with family.
Oh John keep your paranoia to yourself. Disney has ALWAYS been every race, religion, gender, sexual orientation etc etc friendly.
The high cost of visiting the park plus a normal slow time due to school openings are the likely cause.
The majority is speaking by not going to the LGBTQ agenda child indoctrinating theme park. The queer community is a minority, quit sticking the perversion in the majorities kids faces and Disney might recover, maybe . Now call me a bigot,your only untrue response BTW,Thank you DeSantis,2022!
No sir, you seem to be misguided as well…. There are many factors that are affecting the parks WORLDWIDE and every industry whatsoever, so before you pinpoint fingers and criticize humanity EDUCATE yourself about how the world evolution continues. Regardless of gender, age, religion, sex, political views, marital status or any other qualifications, humans are just that: HUMANS and we all operate the same way. Just like everything in the world, BORN, GROW, REPRODUCE AND DIE… Are you immortal or a robot? Stop your ignorance about humanity. Disney is simply dying just like everything and everyone.
I actually was thinking just about the same thing. Disney’s wokeism is catching up with them. If they continue to do that kind of thing I wouldn’t care if they just went out of business.
People who care about “grooming” can’t afford Disney prices. For the rest of us, school’s in session. The next Disney vaca is scheduled for Easter break.
Uh no. We can afford it. We’re just taking our money elsewhere. Why would anyone want to support a company that wants teachers to discuss sexuality with their kids. I have a 4 year old son, and I have to be concerned that if he shows any feminine personality traits, some groomer will try to confuse him. It’s disgusting.
Walt Disney (from my home state) must be rolling in agony in his grave at seeing the woke nutters take over his beloved legacy that he worked so hard to make. It is very sad what has happened to Disney. The guests and consumers must demand better of Disney or they’ll crumble.
We used to go to Disney World once a year. Now with their stance against those who don’t want our kids sexualized, we have decided not to go in December as planned. We always love visiting, but we just couldn’t enjoy supporting a company that would do something so horrific. It’s just very sad.
Hopefully, they will get new leadership that will reverse course and listen to what their customers want in stead of destructive investment groups who have infiltrated like BlackRock.
I agree 100%! I’d love to see Disney go out of business. Parents don’t want their children exposed to their “not so secret gay agenda”. Just let kids be kids.
Agreed! They’ve gone completely woke, even with their movies. Notice how they are slowly removing Walt out of the picture? I bet he’s rolling over in his grave as to what they’ve done!
I was JUST thinking the same thing since it hit the news…funny, no mention of it in THIS article.
Maybe the “writer” should have researched further… But THAT wouldn’t push the “agenda”.
🤔🤔
So basically you’re saying that Disney’s insistence on bringing identity politics into their parks is hurting them from both ends of the spectrum. Nice.
I think it’s about of that and a bit of unstaffed and a bit of ride issues and resent flooding.. The atmosphere and over all merale of cast members can really be felt. They are over worked, underpaid and under appreciated.
Agreed. Additionally, the economy has tanked. Call it what you want but the Biden administration has sealed the fate of America with his dimwitted but Marxist like policies! He and his administration has been doing everything they can to destroy our economy and drive us closer to a communist government. I would give Biden all the credit for this but he is merely a Dementia riddled meat puppet! And save your leftist lunatic attacks because I don’t like Trump either! This is all being driven by the NWO/WEF! “You will own nothing and be happy!”
You’re 100% correct! People are finally waking up and seeing them for what they truly are! When the executive producer Latoya Raveneau stated she had a not-so- secret gay agenda, she sealed the deal for corporate suicide of the company. You’re not going to force crap luke that down the throats of normal people. That’s why their stock sunk as well! Screw them, they’ll never get a dime from me or anyone in my family. I’ll gladly spend it at Universal! F-DISNEY
Snort… no groomers worse than the pope and his minions. Mormons attract similar groomers. Nevermind Ala-blame-her the redhat pedophile state. All self-righteous patriarchal bastions who elected a self-dyed orange daughter porker. And you put your finger up your nose at DISNEY?!!!!! Rome poncey Boyz paid gazillion tor a few of their victims.
Gotta laugh at the redhat hypocrites.
While trumpsters and right-wingers would like to believe that politics has caused Disney to be slower this week, the truth is they had an enormously busy summer, and now kids are going back to school and the summer rush is over.
I was in Magic Kingdom Florida last August 19th 2022 and there was people everywhere.
I don’t know when this picture was taken. Maybe in pandemic period
Wow. I’m sure glad that only the minority think like you instead of the majority because telling a person they can’t be who they are is wrong. Is it so unatural to love people for who they are? Some brains develop as one gender and people are attracted to different genders. We can’t help who we love or how we feel inside. If someone told you different then they lied. 1941 called: they want their narrow-mindedness back!!!!
Oh BS, it’s nothing more than a tendency that you idiots wallow in. Like I have tendencies to want to smash the face of ever sick evil twisted pedophile of a liberal thät I see spout lies. I just don’t act on it. Well…. Not always
Totally agree John. The new Disney CEO has pushed agendas that the majority of the general attending population does not want, nor agree with. I been a Disney fan and attended the parks since I was 3 years old. I am 47 now. Disney’s gay day is disgusting, I was a season pass holder and I could not enjoy the magic of the theme since gays were waving pride flags in my face and being disruptive. Disney is not magical innocence for children anymore. Just a grooming playground agenda for the left as they jack prices so high that regular income hard working parents can no longer justify the expense to let their children be corrupted by such origination that no longer defends a child’s innocence.
I think Disney has moved away from family values and is more concerned with being politically correct and that has cost them and not in the long run but a short period of time.
Disney could always recoup their income loss from the right side, by charging the ones on the left who go by the pronouns they/them/ther/blah blah blah double. That seems fair to me, and they do want to be treated fair, right? ;p
John, that’s the most absurd statement ever. Did you know there are 99% more cases of child sexual abuse that come out of the church in 1 year than all of disney combined….ever
This is exactly the reason we do not take our family and grandchildren to Disney. We will not support any sexual endoctrination of children. I grew up with Disney and my kids did too however our values no longer align. This is the nicest way to say what I really fee.
Yes! That’s the truth. I know staff there and would confirm it’s going down hill because of the political stance has infected it’s charm with a moral virus worse than covid.
Most Disney visitors go there because it’s “family friendly.” But they just had to jump on the PC bandwagon. They’re screwing themselves over by promoting an agenda that’s inappropriate for children.
southerners sent their kids to school a couple of weeks ago, Northerners are getting their kids ready for school next week, and colleges just started this month, maybe the weekend will be busy but then after until november it probably will be slow, but we have NOT seen it this slow at all, as a matter of fact a few days ago when we went the lines were about 20 to 35 minutes long at MK on all the rides we went on. maybe if they took away the reservation system for local passholders it would be busier
Dont like, and have always felt that the passes that allow wealthier patrons to go to the front of waiting lines, unfair to patrons who had to scrape money together just to buy adm.tickets..Again the average or below average income patrons are side lined due to money issues..just like all the wealth screwing up our govt.,the corrupt REPUBLICANS
Unfortunately I wouldn’t return for free. They can keep their park and their nickel and dimes, also Disney is never going to be the same. Keep it and the horrible customer service.
I am all UOAP
I agree. Walt must be doing 360’s in his grave at how this park has changed. My husband and I visited a year after it opened, and it was magical and affordable. Now, one needs to break the bank to go there, and guests are not even treated as guests. Sorry state of affairs.
I dont think Walt is rolling in his grave because Disney supports all walks of like. But i do agree that Disney has become very unaffordable, nicle and dining absolutely everything. Im at WDW as I write this and it is NOT empty. Went to buy a 2022 christmas ornamebt and it was an extra $3 just to have 2022 written on it. Im from Canada and everywhere here seems to have military discounts, which i very much appreciate… everyhere but WDW!!!
Plus the last time was in there u could feel the resentment towards a normal family. Husband wife and the Kids. The sight of a happy nuclear family was such an annoyance there that I haven’t gone back
Jack, You are wrong, wealth comes before common fairness You are ignoring the basic facts..money first, fairness last..I have watched the faces of little tykes as others go to the front of the line after they were waiting sometimes over an hour..Obviously you are one of the go to the front of the line jokers!
They need to stop with political crap and get rid of the reservations along with affordable prices again,so pass holders can actually go then maybe they wouldn’t Lose so much money!!
Aug. 10, 2022:
consumer spending — powered Disney’s increase in profitability. Revenue totaled $21.5 billion, a 26 percent increase from a year earlier. Operating profit surged 50 percent, to $3.6 billion.
Exclamation points do not make something true. Dispite your feelings on their current direction to say it is hurting their profit margin is a ridiculous statement. If anything it looks like it’s having the opposite effect.
This is because of people getting their revenge COVID vacations in plus higher prices. You will see a very different earnings report next time. I’m actually considering shorting it.
There is a Halloween party tonight. The park closes early to day guests. This is normal, most people choose to skip this park if they are not attending the party. You selectively chose to leave that out of your story to make it seem like people are abandoning Disney World. It’s very deceptive. This page is terrible
Maybe you missed this part ? “There is also the case of the Halloween festivities — Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party takes place at Magic Kingdom tonight with Party Guests able to enter the Park from 4 p.m. suggesting that non-Party Guests may likely be staying clear and utilizing their precious Park Passes elsewhere.”
Have to disagree with this article. We were there last week and the parks were packed. Without Genie+ the lines were and hour to an hour and a half wait time. Busses and monorail were crowded. I will say it was a very expensive week. Prices are out of control.
I was there in June, & it was packed. Very Expensive & no fun, but everything is up. Will try free or
cheap local festivals, parks, free TV Nite, Lunch w/Friends. No Nascar, No Streaming, No Concerts, No Live Shows, & No Contributions to Rich Politicians.
Look at eventbrite, groupon, and festivals.net. there is a lot of fun to be had for less money. Also fathom events for a special selction of older movies, and more showing at theaters near you. Plus facebook groups about events for your local area tell a lot. Also meetup.com has groups that could suit your hobbies and interests. Have fun for less money.
To the guy and his wife going in October, I wish you a blissfully happy time with a very comfortable few amount of people there during your time. I only wish I could afford to go too. I haven’t been since 2010. I wish you all the fun and magic during your time there. Enjoy.
We’re in hard times for the middle class. ‘Nuff said. It’s mainly that as a reason and Disney’s responding to the customers tightening their belts by hiking the prices up on food and the Genie+ pay to ride things resulting in less turn out.
I will say though their image hasn’t been great though, having fools starting fights in the park and stories about thots shooting only fans videos on rides and the cast members being allowed to have tattoos and piercings now…. It’s basically turning into a trashy carnival. Not the idealized experience Walt was aiming for. Would you expect to see throw downs in ToonTown or Philharmagic gang fights back in the 90s or 00s?
Disney publicly stated it’s about quality not quantity. The were talking about the guests. They don’t want the middle class anymore. They rather sell one Trans Mickey doll for $50 bucks than 10 original ones at $10 bucks each. They don’t want your traditional middle America family. Your not welcome there anymore. They are pricing you out on purpose
W Then we will likely be saying goodbye to Disney in the next 5-10 years if that is truly the case. Honestly the majority of the American public is quite tired of wokeism and everything to do with it. Woke TV shows are going down the tubes and everything else that supports wokeism is in sharp decline among mainstream American. Sure there are minority and fringe groups that support it like crazy and are quite vocal in their insanity but a vocal minority doesn’t produce enough revenue to keep a beast the size of Disney going for long. If Disney thinks that the majority of this country is woke then they are woefully blind and deaf. Wokeism will kill Disney and everything else it touches if they are not careful.
Trashy is as trashy does. The fights are from the trashy guests that show up and act like that. When are people going to learn money and class have nothing to do with eachother. The Chump family in the whitehouse and some royals like Prince Andrew, and pedo Jeff Epstein the very rich buddy of both Prez Chump and prince Andrew , plus all of Epstein’s rich customers still roaming free all proved that didn’t they. So what’s happening with the misbehavior of certain low class guests at Disney is a reflection of society in general. It really has nothing to do with the company themselves. The only thing Disney can do is kick out those jerks, and call the cops when they act up/break the rules, just like any other public place.
Bigotry? Hardly. Society has taken a very deep dive into the ungodly cesspool of immortality since Jesus and His word were kicked out of schools and much of public life. “Blessed is the Nation whose God is the Lord”(Jesus)
The converse is also true. We have invited a curse upon this country. Disney is, has become, a spokesperson for all that has gone wrong in America and many Americans have had enough!
So, are you a sinner too? Just asking since you seem to be one of the many casting stones at others. Let God and the Law judge others. If people stayed in their own lane, quit being such hypocritical, SELF-RIGHTEOUS, lying Karens we’d all be better off and a whole lot safer. Yes be aware of danger, when there is actually danger. The more you cry wolf when there is none, the less people will believe you when you’re actually in danger. Plus how do we know you’re not a wolf in sheeps clothing? As so many Karens both male and female are extremely dangerous while they pretend to be innocent as they have had so many jailed and/or lynched throughout history. Gee, no wonder all the Karens don’t want history taught in schools anymore. They don’t want people to know the truth of what has already happened.
There’s a difference between being a sinner and encouraging others to sin. That’s what Disney has been doing for a long time, but they crossed a whole different line when they came out in support of grooming.
Yes Ken, you have hit the nail on the head brother. The wages of sin has always been death and that death always manifests itself in some way. Let’s say it loud and strong man we cannot be backward and asleep in this day and age. It’s time for the woke to meet those who are alive in Christ! It’s time for the woke to meet the truly awakened! The darkness never has been able to comprehend or overcome the light and it never will. This is why we don’t have dark bulbs! Woke folks you are not the majority of America. The only reason you have gotten away with what you have is because the rest of us are nicer than you and we don’t usually shove our lifestyles in other people’s faces threaten the morality of the nation and especially children though and you will have a war on your hands that you will never win. I don’t mean a physical fight and I’m not threatening anyone but I’m talking about a spiritual war. Jesus has already won, it’s already finished. If people don’t turn to him you are just in a miserable holding tank awaiting final judgement no matter how much you scream and shout. This whole ballgame doesn’t end well for anyone except those who put their faith in Jesus Christ.
Yikes! This is all so political and so many bigots. If they aren’t attending because of the LGBTQ thing, I am very happy about that as I prefer not to be around the bad influence of bigots with my grandkids in tow. I love Disney and I love diversity. I am looking forward to going there with the family and grandkids next week. I’m an old white lady, with a middle aged gay son, a straight daughter, terrific husband, two wonderful grandkids and a live for people and life. See ya soon Mickey and Minnie.
Nobody cared if one was gay. Nobody cared if one was trans. Nobody cared if one was another color. It wasn’t till it was shoved down our throats that we cared and being pushed on OUR CHILDREN. I had said it’s only a matter of time before they start calling people bigots if they push back and here we are.
Linda is an old white lady name. Whereas a name like Anaiyah is clearly an Arabic name which probably belongs to a young black girl. I just chose that name as an example that certain names are used by certain races.
I have been a life long Disney fan since the day Mr Disney opened the Park. The past 3-5 years things have changed. It’s now an adult park not fit for children.
We had a few Disney time shares sold all of them. Many past treasured Disney memorabilia given or trashed it all.
Barbara sums up my feelings best of all
Unfortunately I wouldn’t return for free. They can keep their park and their nickel and dimes, also Disney is never going to be the same. Keep it and the horrible customer service.
Mary – did they dig Walt up to open the Park? Just curious since he died in ‘66 and MK did not open till ‘71. He must of been pretty ripe by opening date 😉
Disneyland is superior. After going to MK for the first time recently we were disappointed at how it felt like a cheap version of the original park. But we loved Animal kingdom and Epcot.
I wish it had been kind of a ghost town when I was there back in middle to end of May, 2022. It was crowded as crap. The park didn’t feel the same to me. It’s missing something. Plus tickets and other things are overpriced.
Didn’t get to eat breakfast at Chef Mickey either, which was the first time that has ever happened. Have eaten at Chef Mickey everytime we went there for years until this past year. We never could get reservations because of being booked up and crowded. Had to have breakfast at Hollywood and Vine instead. Didn’t like it as well as Chef Mickey. As for going back to Disney, maybe/maybe not until I get reservations at Chef Mickey.
Notice no workers or Disney characters. Word is out that they are going on strike or just went on strike. That will also mean many of the rides won’t be functioning. Who wants to pay an exorbitant entry fee to a theme park under those conditions.
Went to Epcot, MK and studios today (8/30).
Complete ghost town, rode some of the best rides, and even got to ride gurdian twice! When Space and Big Thunder are a walk on, sign me up!!
Why LGBTQ automatically assume whoever disagrees with their unnatural acts must hate them? Just because someone disagrees with the act of smoking doesn’t mean he hates all smokers. He disagrees but respects the smoker’s choice. However, he just doesn’t want the smokers (ie, LGBTQ) to lure/groom his children to smoking by publicly advertising smoking as a normal/natural act to be tried (thereby violating his parental right to teach his children his own beliefs).
Then how do you explain science papers showing huge increases in kids becoming LGBTQ within close groups, close to 40%? Also what about borderline kids?
Let’s say, hypothetically, that you are on your bed, and let’s suppose that you are also submissive and breedable. Now, let’s say you are a male. Statistically speaking, humans, that are submissive and breedable tend to be femboys, that’s a fact (which doesn’t about your feelings). Hypothetically under these circumstances, it would be statistically speaking uncontroversial to assume you would be wearing thigh highs (which would boost your breedability factor by about 20%). Now let’s assume you are an SJW SOCIALIST LIBTARD, and let’s say I was you, would it not be under these circumstances, the only correct course of action for you to take to ABSOLUTELY WRECK AND DESTROY me (in a debate) in bed?
John very well said. It’s not about hate for people it’s all about having behavior that you hate shoved in your face or your families face. Someone said they had a gay son earlier well okay. I have a gay nephew but I’m still a Christian and I still know that homosexuality is sin and it’s destroying his life. I love my nephew but I don’t love that which is destroying him. Is that not a more pure love than the kind of false love that pats people on the back and tells them that the sin which will destroy them is perfectly okay? Love rejoices always in the truth it doesn’t lead people further into deception by trying to make them feel okay for the moment. Love plays a much bigger game than that. Love tells the truth. The truth that sets people truly free.
I think since God made the LGBTQ peole too, and they are every bit as human as you, yes, YOU are technically supposed to be, then I guess that means they are natural. God made gay people too, and it’s up to God to judge their actions. Stop trying to do God’s job for him. Look at the man in the mirror for once. Or are you a bot set up by Russia and /or the Epstein pedo politicians that Russia supported. Who was it, what ex president was it that used and still uses Epstein customer/ lawyer Alen Dershowitz as a lawyer again? Grooming…. hmmmm interesting you should bring that up. What was that about Matt Gaetz and his enabler buddy desantis again? Was that grooming of teen girls, sex trafficking, or both? People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
Kelly. God didn’t make LGBTQ people a power called sin did. Sin is not us but it twists and perverts us and if we are not set free through Christ it will destroy us. If you don’t know the story Adam and Eve ate a fruit in Eden and this act of obedience to the devil and disobedience to God brought sin into the world. This one act produced all manner of sin even the sins of Republicans (shock). Scripture clearly in multiple places calls homosexuality a sin therefore it is not judgemental to agree with what God has already said. Homosexuality is not the only sin, there are many more but all of us have equal rights before God, none of us get to go to heaven unless we come through faith in Jesus Christ. This is the cure not only for homosexuality but for all sin. We may never be perfect this side of heaven but at least we will have a relationship with God and that is what we all are in need of. Get the relationship with God first and everything else will start to come into line kind of automatically. Not saying you won’t have to do anything but it will be much easier with God in the right place inside of you.
Why does it have to be about politics? That’s not the issue here. A lot of people probably aren’t going because of school, college, or it’s simply too expensive. Not everything needs to be political.
It’s not that Disney is too expensive. The biden regime with it’s double digit inflation has trashed Americans’ bank accounts while Disney has elevated grooming and woke-ism to an art form designed to groom little children. He has made people TOO POOR and TOO OFFENDED to patronize Disney
No, your excuses are shilling for a corrupt, evil, UN-ELECTED regime.
Price is way too high for people with a family to attend for one thing. Also trying to teach gender identity to our children is not your right or job! Changing the park and removing some things re: Song of The South and other attractions just to appease one race. I’m sorry it has been okay up to present. You are a fun thing/vacation for families. Stop lowering yourself to low standards. Your p as to was not about gender reassigning or racism. Walt Disney himself would be appalled at the way his park is run. You promote racism and hatred. People were accepting of others before the change now everyone is arguing.
We visit Walt Disney World in Orlando about every 4-5 years. We follow online bloggers who report on changes at the parks and resorts. These Internet bloggers help to inform us of all new policies, new merchandise, best foods, and fun activities.
We are currently planning a trip for 2023. Our thoughts have been that the crowds have had a surge in the past year or so, due to rescheduled vacations canceled during the park closings in 2020, in addition to the 50th Anniversary Celebrations, and the increased need for families to travel after the pandemic lockdowns.
Crowds are always higher when children are out of school and we try to plan around those times.
We decided to skip out on the 50Th anniversary crowds and wait for the new rides(Rise..resistance, Guardians …Galaxy, Tron, Ratatouille etc.) to be completed 2022.
We have watched as Disney has tried to navigate newer procedures like park reservations (we thought were to manage crowds) , Genie Plus, and Individual Lightning Lanes. It has been very confusing, expensive, and if not properly planned and executed, could waste both time and money and make for a very disappointing family vacation.
We continue to watch as the quirks are being worked out.
I believe that people having to spend all their time in the parks watching their phones, attempting to get that special Genie Plus reservation or lightning lane pass to avoid the long waits is simply, Ironic. This ruins the experience of being present in the parks and focused on your family.
It is understandable that Disney’s profits fell during the lockdown. It seemed like Disney balanced those losses by delaying construction projects, the unfortunate release or furloughing employees and other. I understand that it costs Disney a lot to function safely, and efficiently. However, I think that the company’s need for quick recovery profit
(Greed) is making it difficult for average families to plan or afford. This is where the “Magic”, what Disney use to encompass, is coming to an end. It doesn’t feel the same.
We are still planning our trip. We are hoping for lower crowds in order to make our trip more enjoyable.
We are fortunate enough to manage both the complicated reservation and expensive ticketing system.
We hope to experience a little bit of the “Magic” that won us over more than 40 years ago.
Furthermore, so many of you are just spouting your personal political ideologies, and not capable of responding to the question. Your hate is not helpful.
We have always supported Disney’s political attempts at full inclusion. I have never felt that their kindness and humanity, has negatively impacted my family.
Florida’s (Governor) decision to eliminate the Reedy Creek jurisdiction and have the state absorbed its costs and taxes could be a benefit for visitors of the area, and not for residents of the area. This may also be affecting the crowds at Disney.
Not surprised. Look at the outrageous prices they want to go into the park. Plus you get nickel dimed to death before you even enter the park. I mean you pay for parking after paying well over a thousand dollars for tickets. Disney has lost its magic.
Attendance is down due to schools returning to class, price increases are another reason families can’t enjoy more of the Magic and also they have too many MNSSHP nights at the Magic Kingdom during the week so families are choosing to go to other parks. Tickets are too expensive to waste a day on half day park since they force you to leave early on those party nights. Halloween party should not be in August much less four nights per week!
It’s probably one of the last down times WDW has is late August and early September… This ISN’T news!! With school back in session for most of the country, and vacations just about over with most people getting back to work, it’s always usually pretty quiet and crowds a LOT less than past few months. I’ve been down there a bunch of times over the years at this time and it’s a great time to go to avoid the crowds!
We said this all day Monday. Able to walk on most everything. The hours before the mnsshp were the same. Even the party seems quiet. It was so nice compared to
The last several times we have been!
There is no reason to go there, it is clear to us that Disney don’t like poor people, with those prices been so high, a father of 4 with an average income it is extremely difficult to pay those admission tickets
This is and has always been the low time for Disney. When my daughter was young we went this week every year due to low crowds, prices, and wait times. It is the best time to visit!!!
Outside the rhetoric I work in the local hotel industry it’s slowed down at all hotels by half at least on Monday through Friday arrivals
I know some wish to claim victory in their fight over some issue they created and actually has no real affect on everyday people but those people will always exist
Disney is and always will be a destination for many and Disney will survive
Anyone who doesn’t support LGBQT, is a narrow minded moron who has missed out on the meaning of the word humanity. Insulting someone by comparing them to an autistic person is also a sign of bigotry and shows a lack of understanding. Of course Disney will slow down once school has opened back up. But if their numbers have dwindled also because of people who don’t support their views, I say let those morons go. More park for me.
NEVER going to Disney again and all merchandise and media is off my purchase and viewing list. Current management has destroyed Walt’s dreams. Hope they go bankrupt.
After reading the comments and articles about how empty Magic Kingdom is, in my opinion is that it’s about money and not the enjoyment of the place. I have been going since my daughter was 2 yrs old and it’s changed but not for the better as now they are charging for car parking at their hotels as the hotels are not cheap it’s added cost along with genie + this adds to extras which puts pressure on sales at the park especially if on fixed budget. I think that the management needs to rethink their strategy on what is required to make it the happiest place in world again in which Walt Disney wanted.
The other areas of the Disney Corporation such as Disney+, marvel and sports channels appear to be profitable and there annual turn over in profits seems to be healthy, because they are in danger of pricing themselves out of the market which would be a big disappointment too all.
This a totally false assertion. I visited Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom and Epcot Saturday. The lines were long and the people were plentiful. This article must have been written by one of those north Florida bigots with red rust around their neck attempting to dissuade visitors. How sad.
Did you read the article? It doesn’t say anything about Saturday. It addresses only Monday 8/30. You shouldn’t be so idignant when you’re the one who doesn’t know the difference between “today” and “two days ago”.
I love reading articles like this (every single one on this subject i have opened so far) when “journalists”, perhaps deliberatly , avoid tackling the obvious, or even MENTIONING it!! That more families than they can possibly know have decided to pull their support from a place thats so agenda focused and virtue signaling.
Just entertain the kids, make your billions…. and let PARENTS be the parents to their own kids!!!
We will never bring our kids to another disney park again….(makes me sad because it was such a huge part of my own upbringing)
Someone needs to get some actual STONES and write an article about THAT….but, you wont.
We were just there last week and it was very busy. Longer lines for rides and the Halloween party was sold out and crazy busy. We refuse to do genie plus
Unfortunately you went the last kids are still out of school when families have a last “hoo rah” Yo beat the crowds, go last week of August when school is back in more most, or middle of September.
Some of y’all in the comments are acting like some political force or pricing is to blame. I was there last year this week, it was the same. It’s always like this last week of August. Especially MK on a Halloween party day. Folks don’t want to waste a ticket when they have to leave early, or are going to the party that night. Just as the article says. I checked the app yesterday and crowds picked up by the afternoon. WDW will slowly pick up in general by the end of September, and then holiday crowds. Just like always.
If Disney continues to raise prices and take more away,it’s no wonder,the parks are empty. A place that is supposed to be the happiest place on earth is fartoo expensive . How is a family supposed to pay the HUGE entry fees and then souvenirs, and astronomical food prices? Disney needs to realize the higher the entry fee food prices,ect,the less the guests will come.
As a 10th generation Floridian, Disney has been a part of my family’s lifestyle. I used to take my child there at least once a month. However, not only has access to dining become difficult, but the rides are incredibly long waits but incredibly short, from deleting “PC” scenes that really are just a part of history (i.e., Pirates of Caribbean). Several staff experiences has also become flippant & rude. My family & I felt like cattle & Disney was just for the money out of our pockets. The magic has gone. I only miss the Haunted Mansion. And as a HM collector, the souvenirs/gifts have become cheap yet still expensive. Very sad.
While I agreed with smokers being pushed off to designated areas making the park a smoke free property has to be hitting their pockets. Being a smoker and yes I realize it is a disgusting habit but my choice.. I would go off to the area smoke and come back. A few nonsmokers would wander in and make faces of disgust but it is clearly posted so get out. It is funny how quick people are to attack smokers but let’s see what happens when they take away beer or wine.
The article wasn’t about Friday and Saturday. The article is accurate. They even give specific wait times. Your conflation of the weekend with a weekday that has shortened operating hours is the source of your confusion.
When I lived in Florida we would always visit in September. Back to school and height of hurricane season always kept families and tourists away. Was my favorite time to go. No Lines!
Covid 19 rebound is over! Locals are staying away from Disney because of their involvement in politics. Lost over $30,000 of business from one of my companies alone. Not a affordable family park and elimination of annual passes is a nail in a coffin for most people. Corporate greed in the wrong direction will keep attendance down for a long time. Yes summer will always be busy, but as the economy tanks so will Disney. The Federal Reserve made sure of that the other day. Good luck everyone as this economy is going to crash harder than Covid19 shutdown!
Disney has gotten way too demanding and way too overpriced I hope they choke on their profit they made in the past . very few can’t afford to go there anymore you need to take out an equity loan just to go on vacation there or because of greedy executives I’ve been going there for 25 years and I’m done we will be going to Universal from here on and we’re prices are reasonable And affordable
Our trip in Feb 2022 was over 8k for 2 people, plane, tickets and hotel. And this was not high end hotels and we used Southwest for cheaper flight.
Our last trip to WDW, maybe try Disneyland, off season and stay off site. The Californian is now $900 for 1 night stay. And the hotel has been there for years, seems like the building is paid for by now.
Besides wokeness, Disney lost its innovation. Most of the good attractions are still from the 70’s. Elon, I think it’s time to buy out Woke Disney World.
Disney went woke. Those folks that had plans continued them. But now they are paying the price. I suspect Disney will suffer long term. We cancelled out trip due to the “wokeness”
The comments on this post are not appropriate for the lack of crowds.
Hopefully, this will continue, the amount of people visiting Disney parks will drop, and the CEO Chapek, will be released from Duties, and get a real CEO who cares, and Believes in the Magic that Walt Disney created.
The crowds, with people saying school is back is not the answer, we were there in February, school was in session and the Parks were packed with people and children.
The ignorance of right wingnuts knows no bounds. Alter your travel plans due to Disney wokeness? Really? The only folks being “groomed” are you guys, by Fox or Newsmax or whatever. All the better; I don’t want to wait in lines full of lowbrow yokels and religious nuts anyway.
I went to Disney for the first time last year. There were some cool things there. However, I was not too impressed. Disney has lost its magic and with its wokeness it is not helping. Walt would is probably turning over in his grave. Bye Disney, you were great at one time.
I am a DVC member, and like to go every 12-18 months. But the last time I was there, I was so frustrated by the Genie app, the lightning whatever app, paying extra for fast passes, having to play the early morning reservation game, the long lines, etc…. that I don’t know when I will go back to the parks. At $140 for a ticket, I feel like I should be able to ride every ride at least once. Not pay $140 and play the lottery to see if I CAN ride the ride. And not $140 to be on my phone all day trying to manage my day. It’s not fun, it’s not magical.
Historically the month of September and the first week of December are the slowest times for Disney. My parents always went in September. I when with them a few times for family reunions but I liked the first week in December because the parks were decorated. Maybe this was not true the last couple of years because of covid but this is a more normal time now. The think the people that are saying that this is the end of Disney are jumping the gun. If the crowds are still down in mid October then Disney has a problem
This is not like Disney to be this empty. I have been going to Disney since I was a kid. Now that I’m older I have slowed down. The only thing I can think of is the prices?
Not true. I work at Mk. I worked this day. These pics were taken at park opening, of course it looks empty. By 1030 am it was busy as usual. Stop believing these bloggers.
Well at 7:20 August 31st 2022 on a rainy overcast day, wait times are 25 for pirates 45 for haunted and 75 for Peter pan. Dwarf is closed. So I guess day & time.
Has any executive team more thoroughly destroyed a brand as has the present Disney senior team? Were I still a shareholder, I would be demanding heads on pikes for the absolute plummet in share value.
This hapless, clowncar of “leadership” can’t seem to do anything right.
I believe that it’s about time. Disney is no good. Children should NOT BE EXPOSED TO ALL THE GAY, LGBT CRAP! Plus it robbery what they charge. I love this!
Shut the doors for the old pedophile that got rich off all us normal folks! Yay
Who gives a crap? I’m so tired of being told we’re supposed to care about corporations and their profits. Disney’s “magic” has been robbing families blind since the 70s and I for one wouldn’t care if it disappeared off the map forever.
We have been going to Disney World for over 20 years. Since Cheapak took over the ceo Job the park has been on a slippery slope downwards. Lineups are long, food and beverage expensive and many favorite attractions have been canceled or delayed. Standing in line with small children for 2 hrs plus is no picnic. Spokento many standing in line and thay all overwhelming said this would be there last visit. Pre Chepak you used to be able to go to the parks with 3 fast passes see a few shows and then have dinner and drinks afterwards. It’s very evident Chepak is only focused on the bottom line not the experience. Hard to believe that the board extended his stay another 3 years. Prediction – after the post pandemic visitors are exhausted the parks will be vacant. Typical corporate wall street BS.
We have been annual pass holders for over 20 years this will be our last year. I believe Chepak stated he could care less about annual pass holders. Next year he will be begging all of us to return guaranteed!!
Disney has acquired the reputation/ image as anti-family, anti-innocent childhood pleasure. Just look at the ad placement. No family SUV; no breakfast cereal ad.
Ads are anti-family, don’t have babies; legalize killing the babies, and worse. Hi he image is the modern day whorehouse. And the advertisers know it.
Me and my family was just there Aug 27 and 28. And by no means was it a ghost town. People were EVERYWHERE!!!!!!! We couldn’t even walk in a straight line. So I am not sure about those pics. We were in Magic Kingdom from 10am to close. Then on Sunday we were at animal kingdom from 930 to close. It rained both days but we had fun.
Might have a few more people there if you let locals actually go to the danm park as we please! The park reservation system needs to be dismantled and forgotten!
Holy cow. I didn’t realize how you could literally draw the correlation between Disney being slow at non peak times to gay rights. Lmao. You truly are some special folks.
They totally don’t promote treating everyone as an equal as the right does. I mean, Jan 6, voting paranoia, critical race theory paranoia, immigrant paranoia, gay paranoia, what’s not to like. Both sides of the aisle at the extreme ends are crazy special people. Awesome how people try to act like your sides better. While those of us who are just normal folks are looking at you both like 🤓😳🤔🔥💩.
The problem with Disney isn’t with gay rights etc, it’s MONEY. It’s flipping very expensive. I can go to Destin, Myrtle Beach, Gatlinburg, you name it, cheaper than Disney. Hawaii is about the only one comparable in price. So you very few knuckleheads who don’t go because you got your feelings hurt and are boycotting, good luck. Go team Merica🤓. Common sense tells ya most of us aren’t going because we cannot afford it, it’s hard to justify that cost when so many other places are cheaper.
That and I gotta donate to Trumps next legal defense team(sarcasm).
It’s not rocket science lol .. School started back up this week and the summer is over .. Obviously going to be a down time .. It’ll pick back up for all the holiday breaks and vacations etc.
School has nothing to do with it. I use to see the packed with kids all year round. Biden recession and wokeness caused people not to spend money there
This is nothing but a bunch of bs. I just spent 8 days in Disneyworld with 24 family members and all the parks were filled with people. Most rides had at least a 30 minute wait. You still had to ask people to move out of your way, you still needed reservations for sit down meals and there was still a wait for quick service. Stop with the bs that Disneyworld is a ghost town, it is not the truth.
Go woke go broke. I will never give Disney another dime. It’s sad to see their transformation from something I watched and loved as a child to what it has become today
And the one thing the article does not touch of course is the white elephant in the room: one reason attendance may be down or maybe more of a ghost town is of course #GoWokeGoBroke.
Disney could not help themselves when it came to jumping into politics. Your guests are on both sides of the political aisle and have differing opinions on social issues. When you cater to a whiny fringe group, you run the risk of alienating half of your audience and driving them away. They speak with their wallets. Before they jumped into taking a side, someone should have been wise enough to ask themselves this question: “if we piss off half our base to placate a fringe group, is that fringe group – the alphabet community – going to make up the difference in business we risk to lose by taking sides?”.
Obviously, Disney is getting their answer. And it serves them right. Disney would have never wanted the company to get involved in politics. He understood. I don’t think he would like what his company has become.
Definantly since Walt Disney is promoting the LBQT. People will not tolerate. We could not wait until our little one was big enough Niw he is big enough but we are NoT ever going because of Disneys idea to change midstream and promote the gay community
It’s simple. Walt Disney must be screaming from the grave over the new Woke culture that’s invaded his dream parks. It’s not about Mickey & His friends anymore. It’s about transgenderism and other ungodly lifestyles. Disney will never get another penny from me.
Exactly exactly people are tired of being told what to do by Disney what’s right what’s wrong there’s more than two genders and pushing their LBGTQ s***I don’t care if you’re straight gay want to hang out with fish just don’t push it in my face live your life in Disney tried to push their rights by pushing the bill that allowed third graders and down to learn about transgenderism they reap what they sell
Lets be real. Disney has priced themselves so high most families cannot afford to go. 200 each plus parking plus 10$ hotdogs. It all adds up to make most families rethink a visit. There are many venues to visit in florida and most are less than half the cost.
It’s the high cost of Disney that keeps me away. The other issues just add to the fray. Is the magic lost? Yep. Replaced with greed and social manipulation. Sad
I honestly stopped reading all the comments. I will say that I live in Florida, as a child, we would go and camp at Ft. Wilderness about once a month. Disney was magical to me. Now, my kids are adults so the school season is not stopping me. I don’t go because I can’t afford it. It’s not just the tickets but the drive, parking, and food. I go to places like st. Augustine or cocoa beach. Way cheaper and just as fun.
I would like to address one other topic. It shouldn’t matter if you are rich or poor, male or female, young or old, who you sleep with or don’t. I am a Christian and in the Bible, which I do live my life by, it says “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God and everyone who love is born of God, he who does not love is not born of God.” So, this love is not romantic love. It is non judgemental, kind, caring, doing into others as you would have them do for you. As a true Christian, I am commanded to not judge but to love. So, whether or not I agree with someones lifestyle is not an issue. We have in our power to change laws, to home school, to send our children to private schools, how about talking to your children about why you believe the way you do? So my point is, please separate true Christians from those who say they are but don’t live that way. It’s like saying all movies are bad because you don’t like some. You can identify a true Christian by how they show love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and self control. As a Christian, my desire is that others come to know God the way I do because I believe that by accepting Jesus’s death as payment for my sins, I can live in Heaven after I die. If you choose to not listen and agree, it doesn’t change the fact that I am still supposed to treat you with respect.
Ok. Have a great day everyone.
Don’t believe this! I’m in several FB groups and see nothing about the ridiculous lines and customer service! People should stop going to Disney since they have not returned back to pre-COVID times. Instead they have removed almost everything that made a visit magical and have increased prices on top of it!
I hope people are non going to protest the stuff they are doing. Disney used to be about guest experience. Now it’s all about profits. I took my family in January. We hadn’t been since 2015. No more dining plans, and no more magic shuttle. That used to be one of the best parts, Disney shuttle picks you up at the airport, plays Disney movies on the TVs to get you excited, drops you off at your Disney resort free of charge. Now you book your own transportation. Back then, you got magic bands included in your resort package. Now you pay anywhere from $15-45 for one. We ate dinner in Cinderella’s castle one night. It cost almost $300 for a group of five. The food was awful. My wife and I ended up getting food from a vendor after. I just wish they’d focus more on the guest experience. Profits will be there. Bring back the magic!
I believe the trouble lies in the fact that it was magical before Disney decided to become the poster child for LGBTQ+. Families are what made Disney great. They are tired of Disney changing their cute movies into a political statements. Disney isnt the same place anymore because of their ideologies. Maybe they will get the message that this is not what the majority of people want. Hopefully, they will understand this, before they truly become a permanent ghost town
Disney is dying because of its family unfriendly atmosphere and promotion of the gay life style. Dozens of friends have stated they will no longer return. Grandparents will seek other venues to spend time with family.
Did u know that there will be people out there stewing ver someone else’s comments on here because they are “offended” and waste probably and hour thinking about it? That’s an hour of life gone. You choose to be offended by someone’s comments. Move on people.
The changes have affected us staying there with our family. They no longer have the Magic Express to and from the airport. You have to pay to park. No more meal plans, which made it easier to budget. Very disappointed with Disney World. We will be taking our family to Universal this fall.
I am from England and have visited Disney World in Florida 5 times with my wife and daughter between 2004 (when our daughter was 4 years old) and about 2015. We have visited 4 times in late August and once at Christmas and have loved every visit. We would love to go back but the cost for us in the UK is now extortionate. Leaving aside the ever increasing cost of park tickets and food it now costs about £1,000 each for a return flight from London to Orlando. Also the pound sterling has plummeted in value against the US dollar. Earlier this year the exchange rate was about 1.40 dollars to the pound, now it is around 1.18 (when we first visited in 2004 the exchange rate was about 1.95). All of this plus the current economic crisis will mean that far less people from the UK will be able to afford to visit the U.S.A. in the future.
Disney thinks they can get political without impunity. Stay out of politics!! Also, they think they can raise prices without any backlash! It’s way to expensive now and normal people can’t go! They already took an arm, now they want both legs also!:(((
The agenda they have promoted is not what parents want their children exposed to. Make they should have kept their morals and maybe they wouldn’t be losing attendance. I went to the Magic Kingdom in late September 2012 and the crowds were insane. So to say that schools in is why they don’t have guests is a farce.
The powerful Chairman of Disney’s Board of Directors Susan Arnold is openly a lesbian. Could she have been working with others to use Disney, which has access to huge numbers of children, to groom children for LGBTQ?
Anyone who believes this is a fool. Disney was PACKED just last week at magic kingdom (believe me, I know cause I had to wait 60+ minutes for every ride)
It’s all a ploy to try to get you there thinking it’s slow and would be a better visit.
I think the price has a lot to do with it. Then you have the time shares that can give you discount tickets but you have to spend time to be with them and if you don’t buy them are hustling you, they harass you. They give the tickets but you see how their faces change when you don’t buy. The parks are getting obsolete, I prefer Epcot to Disney. I respect people and their choices in sexuality, that is their own business not mine, but remember people from other countries might visit and have different views and customs. I think respect is important and so far there is respect regardless of sexual preferences. I do think that Disney should not try to confuse children in certain aspects and the people who visit should focus more on enjoying the park.
This is all Bob Chapeks falt! He is not doing a good job heading the company or taking care of the parks! Get rid of him and get someone who truly knows what Disney is really all about!! THEN things will run a lot smoother and more comfortable for the public!
No, California is the worst state in the country for a number of reasons. If you do not know what they are, you must be blind. More people leaving California than any other state. People are rushing to Florida, where I live. California should be its own country and leave the rest of the country alone. We will all be better off.
Maybe Disney should take responsibility on their political policies. I have Owned stock for 30 years and was there prior to Disney opening in Anaheim in 50’s. It has made me sick where they cannot even mutter “Welcome Boys and Girls”. I had it and sold every share of stock and I know many others including my Stock Manager who are also boycotting Disney and everything connected to it.
I personally will never spend another nickel at Disney! Their politics are sick and perverse! Very anti-traditional family values! Maybe all the trans community can make up the difference! People are staying away! It will only get worse for them!
Just finished visiting magic kingdom. Was NOT a ghost town. I have pictures that show very different from this post. I think the shortest wait was 45 minutes, 30 minutes using the lightening pass.
Probably because it’s so expensive now, everyone is trying to recover from the last couple years. Doesn’t help Disney has made political agendas either.
As fun as these comments are, can we please go back to the days when “sticks and stones” was the end all of the name calling and butt hurt epidemic? Disney’s low numbers are the result of the fact we’ve had to get a co-signer to fill our gas tanks for the past 8 months, let me just put this here, 🙄 DUH! It has nothing to do with where you put your d!$&, hell, put it in the trash or sew it to your forehead(how tall must you be to ride that ride?), LGBLMNOP has nothing to do with the low numbers, people are having to pick and choose more carefully, where they go, what they do, etc. but I should mention this, the whole bathroom thing scares me a little, it’s bad enough I made my son go in the ladies public restroom with me til he was almost as tall as me but now we’ve got people using the bathroom of their choice, depending on the direction the wind is blowing their walla walla bing bang.
So My wife and I were there two weeks ago for a weeks vacation. I noticed out of all the parks magic kingdom had less people. Later that day the park filled up. Epcot & Disney Hollywood studios was packed with people
Go woke, go broke… The public has spoken. I had the choice of Disney World Orlando or Universal Studios last March. We purposely boycotted Disney World. They have lost the mission that Walt envisioned and have become a shill for the radical Left/Woke minority.
Everybody is sick of all this liberal BS, and we’re definitely sick of Disney’s attempts at indoctrinating youth to be either gay crossdressers or anything besides conservative and Christian.
Disney needs to go down !!!!!!! they think they are untouchable, their LIBERAL WOKE LGBGT STANCE is against the Bible and what most Christian Families are against !!!!!!!!
You are exactly right. My family no longer supports anything Disney. Cancelled my Disney Channel and no longer purchase Disney toys. Disney made their choice and now I along with some many others have made our choices not to support!! Sad, but must take a stand!!!
Perhaps a great deal of tourism in Florida has diminished due to the Florida Governors attitudes toward anyone who doesn’t agree with his ideas of a perfect world. If he had his way he would stir up visions of a WW2 climate where death camps existed again for those who don’t fit his ideal of Normal.
No Imran – you are wrong. I took my children every year for 10 years to Disney World for at least 7-10 days ending on Labor Day weekend. Not all schools are in session right now – believe it or not, some schools start after Labor Day…….Every year the parks were PACKED with families who had the same idea. Families are boycotting Disney now because it no longer lines up with who started the whole thing – Disney has nothing to do with Walt Disney and his family values. Disney has no business putting down parents (who shell out the thousands of dollars for vacations of a lifetime), who agree that Disney employees should not have anything to do with sexual grooming of tiny children – Disney is a PEDOPHILE company – and the writer of this article lives in a fantasy world – he just can’t imagine why families don’t want to go to GROOMER WORLD. Also – Mike, are you surprised that Salle would resort to nasty name calling – I have an autistic child too, Salle – but why would I be surprised that a pedophile would make fun of autism? These are the kinds of people who patronize Disney now – good luck with that Disney 🙂
Think of it like this: let’s say u own Bitcoin and it becomes completely worthless, that’s NOT entirely bad news as you can still be gay. No one can take that away from you no matter how low Bitcoin goes….so cheer up! Enjoy tinkerdck and educate us all in the matters of being racist, homo homogenous males,and….and … I forgot where I was….oh yeah “Bitcoin”….yes u can still pay with Bitcoin there. This is the biggest jerkclod I have ever seen. Looking back on swiss family Robinson….the dead actors are probably rolling in their graves. Oddly enough…it’s working it’s “majic” and anyone other than a radical Democrat will be seen as evil. Even independents can be questioned as possible evil doers. May there be a power that will strike down this demon possessed enterprise and restore my natural word…GOD.
Hey so sad to see what’s happening to Disney Land,,
Maybe they should have stayed away from all the Crap 💩 that’s going on in our country! Disney should have stayed Disney the Happiest Place on Earth and now Woke and the LGBTQIA’s 💩 Now Disney is paying for it !!! Oh well next time promote to the Innocent 😇 Children and even Adults that just want to go to Disney and have a Great time with all the Characters and the rides and the Beautiful Fireworks 💥 and stay the hell out of Media and concentrate on Disney Land !!!!!
Disney’s Chairwoman Susan Arnold is openly lesbian. Could she be using family-oriented Disney to groom children for LGBTQ? If so, then people need to speak up to stop this abuse of children.
No one is attending because they have turned a GREAT theme park into a place to try to indoctrinate your kids into questioning their gender and wanting you to change it
I don’t know why they’re making a big deal about this. With kids all back in school & not in on-line
learning & adults heading back to work it’s just a slow time. When my family visited Walt Disney World a long time ago in the 1970’s, we went in mid Sept. and it was great! We had beautiful weather, it wasn’t crowded and there were no lines! They told us it was their OFF SEASON! So, I think things are just going back to how they should be!
Not true Amy. I had season passes and Magic kingdom was always packed every weekend. Disney has lost their vision what it made a great place to visit. Now other theme parks like Dollywood are moving forward. (Dollywood was packed this weekend) kids back to school slow down? Not. Myth.
I have friends that had a trip planned for Disney World & got their money back from the travel agent because of the GLBTQ agenda! I’ve been to Disney World a few times in the past but I won’t go now because of the same thing!!!
I started planning a trip 6 months ago for my family, and when the lies about the parental protection act were pushed by Disney CEO’s as the dont say gay bill I backed out and now we are planning somthing else.
If they want to be political and push lies I’m good on that…
Yeah, I just keep myself, my kids, & my nephew’s away from very expensive communist pedophile parks, thank you. I don’t any surprise gays night out with nearly naked men running around, & I don’t need to waste so much money to one day see a bevi of Drag queens dragging themselves around my kids & expecting tips in their crotches or dirty butt cracks by kids. Life is already too difficult to allow that bizarreness in their lives.
I know of many parents who are boycotting Disney due to their “not so secret agenda” (their words, not mine) of pushing LGBQT doctrine on young children. Once upon a time Disney was synonymous with “wholesome family values”. Those days are long gone and parents are shielding their children from Disney and its groomer enabling culture.
Disney went from kid friendly to a perverts paradise very quickly. Maybe next year they’ll hire members of the CCP to endocrinate kids into loving Communism. Oh wait, Disney already has the CCP dictating what their movie scripts should be like. Too late. Now there’s nothing good about that overpriced child perversion mill. Seems like Michael Jackson may have something to do with changes. After all, he did love drugging kids with Jesus juice

Um, did you follow up with the poster 5 minutes later? I’m there this week and it is anything but a ghost town. Is it spring break crowded? No. But it’s also no longer summer, kids are back in school in both the south and northeast, and it feels like 100 degrees during the day and thunderstorms every afternoon which I am sure is scaring away the florida annual past members more than their fear of their great grandchildren being molested in schools or whatever they are worried about this week.
Magic kingdom was always packed year round. I had season passes and would go there every weekend.. So that’s BS. You fail to see the true problem is Disney’s choices to push agendas down parents throats that the majority of their customers do not agree with. They have always been left, but quiet. The louder the changes to swing left while leaving out the wholesome families and children is Disney’s downfall. Dollywood is gaining momentum because she is staying true to what make theme parks great. Family, tradition and innocent children.
Go woke, go broke. Reservations are made many months in advance and their stupidity is catching up.
Middle America wants wholesome funny not having LGBQT and sometime why pushed in their faces.
The fascination with perverting and grooming children with (not so secret) gender agendas has spurred parents on to finally wake up to the sleeping threat Disney World has been all along.
I cannot imagine what they get out of the lunacy, but I, for one, am happy it’s coming to light.
My family, friends, Christians everywhere & thousands more have joined to boycott Disney!! Hooray!! They had a corrupt CEO & hired a CEO partisan political nightmare. Good luck with that.
It make my day let see how they can manage just with the new transgender community and the LGBT good luck they will never ever see a penny from my pocket
So, everything the author said about reasons for low attendance and ticket sales happened ever year before, and there were still huge crowds this time during those years. But there’s a major difference this year and that is the wokeness of Disney, coupled with unreasonably high ticket prices, food prices and hotel rates. Go Woke, go broke. On top of that, we are experiencing extreme inflation due to Biden and the Democrats mishandling of our money and their unruly spending sprees as well as higher fuel, food, rent/mortgage and car payments. So sad to see how this once great company has fallen so far, so fast.
Disney lost me with the decision to cancel Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow‼️ AND your whole ‘Reservation’ program is much too complicated and totally sucks!
The new Disney CEO has pushed agendas that the majority of the general attending population does not want, nor agree with. I been a Disney fan and attended the parks since I was 3 years old. I am 47 now. Disney’s gay day is disgusting, I was a season pass holder and I could not enjoy the magic of the theme since gays were waving pride flags in my face and being disruptive. Disney is not magical innocence for children anymore. Just a grooming playground agenda for the left as they jack prices so high that regular income hard working parents can no longer justify the expense to let their children be corrupted by such origination that no longer defends a child’s innocence.
Disney’s crowd’s ought to B closer to non-existent , what with the LGBT-Q crowds & them trying to indoctrinate the children ! They have NO BUSINESS trying to do ANYTHING to influence the children to be gay or homosexual ! That entire concept is disgusting & Disney should actually B lucky they had ANY CROWDS AT ALL !! Walt Disney has officially turned over in his coffin !
Have they considered the reason for the low turn out just might be their crazy obnoxious politics? I know plenty of people who have said they will no longer support Disney World nor Disneyland or anything else that has to do with Disney in general, because Disney no longer Supports family or Christian values. Perhaps they should have stuck to business and kept their nose out of politics. I have to say that I strongly agree!
I was just there from Aug 14 to the 19th and the Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom were significantly packed.. so.i don’t know where these photos came from…
I think Disney has moved away from family values and is more concerned with being politically correct and that has cost them and not in the long run but a short period of time.
Could be covd , lgbtq disease ,no money, no generations of people because we’ve been murdering them , its prophesied that no man will work. Tribulation is coming. The rapture will happen at an hour we think not. Go to centralbaptistocala.org Ocala, Florida the ghost town has been happening over the last few years…spurts. Lots of people at airport is because of layovers …the older parks are more full because children are no more because of abortion just in my little city 2 elementary schools have closed . no children. Abortion. Gods judgement is coming … WTYGFM.ORG
Kids believe in many things: Santa Claus, tooth fairy, Peter Pan …. Some kids even believe they’re dogs, cats, dinosaurs, fish, birds, airplanes …. It’d therefore be super easy to groom kids to believe they are LGBTQ. Is it possible that Disney’s lesbian Chairwoman and her underlings have been deliberately displaying LGBTQ as a norm to indoctrinate gullible kids? If this is true, it would be a very cruel violation of trust, as many kids are too young to understand that LGBTQ would forever deprive them of their reproduction right to have their own kids, not to mention the difficulties and depression resulting from going against your own biology.
Get woke, go broke … Disney and all the others are a JOKE! People have basic human rights, ok … the radical agendas have gone too far. Corporations will lose when they start chosing sides and pushing agendas.
It’s no mystery, we being we the people are boycotting Disney because of their business in russia. It’s whats called a silent ban, and it’s communal. If you are doing business then your are fueling war that our taxes are paying. You see, you have to hit the snake at the neck or it will survive.
I was there that week – generally quiet however, Monday in MK was very busy. People know the not so scary party is on – Tuesday and Friday – so go to other parks for the day. We go to MK for rope drop those days as there is nobody there. Can verify wait times all over were very low, many were walk ons including space mountain. With kids back in school and the party that fully explains low crowds. Nothing more to it.
We are DVC members from ’04. The Park Reservation System is a vacation disaster, and the pay-for Fast Passes (or Lightning Lanes as they’ve been re-branded) is a backwards-moving slap-in-the-face. My teenagers used to love waking up and picking what we were doing on the fly, based on weather and their moods. Picking and paying for rides at 7AM in a pre-picked park is ridiculous. The magic is gone. WD Parks should go back to the old system. And, assuming everyone has or wants to use a phone, or now NEEDS to for fast-pass availability is a TERRIBLE thing to do to lower-income or 1st-and-Only timers — WD Inc deserves the bad reviews matching bad experiences on that front. WE WERE GOING TO BUY MORE DVC POINTS, BUT NOT NOW. I hope someone that works for DVC and Park Ops is reading this.
It’s not that Disney is too expensive. The biden regime with it’s double digit inflation has trashed Americans’ bank accounts while Disney has elevated grooming and woke-ism to an art form aimed towards little children. He has made people both TOO POOR and TOO OFFENDED to patronize Disney
Agreed! Disney’s overreaching politics has affected their reputation and influence. There is no reason to interject wokeism or any other unrelated political views in their business/marketing plan. Ridiculous! Totally irrelevant to their purpose. I, too, believe people have had enough of politics where politics does not belong.
Funny how the article doesn’t mention anything about Disney’s wokeness. Maybe that has something to do with it. I know I don’t want to go there because of it.
I used to love Disney World when I was younger. It was truly a magical place. Not anymore.
Nothing could make me happier than watching the world leader in monopolistic behavior suffering as a result of their greed. Disney wants to control everything? Control the dust as it settles on your greed.
Disney and universal need to review their pricing , over 27dollars to park your car before you even start , it’s a disgrace, we are in a recession people will vote with their feet and not
go
I was just there this weekend. The article is not truthful. Thise pictures were taken at 8:30 am when the parks open. While lines varied per ride. The best rides had lines of over 1 hour wait.
I hit all 4 parks. Genie+ was great for the rides with long lines.
Another reason not mentioned here? Disney completely stopped selling Annual Passes last fall. They gave no explanation or reason as to why they stopped selling them. Nor have they given anyone a date upon when they might start selling them again. The only pass that’s currently available is the Pixie Pass which is limited to weekdays only & holidays are blocked out.
When the “Noahide Laws” come to America (and they will – est. Public Law 102-268—APR. 13,1992) you will truly regret having fallen for all the LGBTQ propaganda and will REALLY regret all the hate you speak against God and Christianity….
One more thing. You can’t possibly be a JEW. That MUDT be a joke. Jews are anti-homosexuality. It’s written in the Torah (first 5 books of the old testament) and guess what? DEATH is a punishment of for those engaging in homosexuality..it goes totally against God’s laws. So who are you trying to fool? I think you’d best find a new religion then…satanism sounds like the only option you have left. Good luck.
I think all the changes since covid. It was easy to go into the park. Now there are so many things that are different. To make all the reservations to eat ,to get in to the park. If it wasn’t broke don’t fix it. My husband and I were there at least a hundred times. We won’t be back. Not the same Disney.
My opinion of the low attendance is that Disney messed around with fast pass and annual pass pricing while at the same time declaring war on Ron DeSantis and his policies. He passed a bill that protected parents rights to raise their own children and Disney labelled it as ant-LGBTPlus. I have 7 children and we have had Annual Disney passes for many years. We chose not to renew them this year because Disney chose an anti-family-rights stance! We have many friends in the LGBT community, so I checked out the bill. Disney and others choose to lie about it’s contents. I do have a right as a parent to teach and protect my children. Thank goodness for Governor DeSantis protecting that! Since Disney chose to fight against the rights of their customers base, they are suffering the consequences!
So not true! I was just there on Saturday and the park had 70 minutes wait for Peter Pan, 60 minutes for space mountain and seven dwarfs. Thunder mountain had 50 minutes except for when it rained Ned and they reopened.
Comments for Magic Kingdom Is a Ghost Town as Crowds Vanish From Walt Disney World
John
This may be the result of Disney’s misguided attempts to promote unnatural LGBTQ? Our genders are already defined by biology at birth. Trying to redefine genders against biology should not be falsely displayed to innocent children as natural or normal. LGBTQ representation is a minority’s right which must be overridden by the majority’s rights of protecting kids from grooming and parents’ right to teach their kids as the parents see fit.
Imran Hamid
That is probably the worst reading of tea leaves I ever saw. School is on and people are not on vacation anymore. Surely your bigoted mind would understand those basic concepts.

You CANNOT turn anyone Gay. But on the other hand, are you accusing God, our Creator, of making mistakes!? You all are the most bigoted creeps, anywhere!
No one wants to be LBGTQ! God made them that way, to teach tolerance of others, who are different. That’s what Jesus Christ taught! But did you all accept Him at first!? NO!! YOU NAILED HIM TO A CROSS!! You are what’s wrong with this world, Hypocrites! For those who’ve truly suffered, will find the Kingdom of Heaven! Those of you calling them unnatural, etc, are indeed doomed to HELL. For Hell’s road is paved with all the self-righteous- rotten to the core!!

God doesn’t make mistakes. People are NOT born gay and the bible clearly defines that homosexuality is a sin, a perversion, a choice just like all sins and perversions. Don’t get it twisted by letting the devil lead you away from biblical thinking.
Gena
I soley agree. I will not take my children back to Walt Disney!
Being gay, transgender or whatever IS NOT HOW GOD MADE THEM. IT IS A CHOICE! Stop blaming God for YOUR CHOICES!
Lol
So how would you feel if someone said that because of you religious jerks they don’t want their kids going back? I don’t want your crappy beliefs around my children…..but guess what? If fricken disney world!! You are there to have fun not to judge anyone…… who died and made you God?? Lol…. all you Bible thumper are soooooo pushy and judgmental is really sad
DeLaunhardt
Hey Bible scholar: Read Romans chapter one (among a TON of other scriptures) and tell me “God made them that way….”
The ACTUAL reason for homosexuality is a reaction to sexual abuse/trauma. Before you poo poo that away there are a TON of studies to back this assertion up. And my wife is a professional counselor who can also give you anecdotal evidence to the same…God does not create people in direct conflict to His laws. Homosexuality is a SIN plain and simple.
Although its a manifestation of pain and hurt, its still a behavioral CHOICE. Better to try and minister to their trauma and help them out of their “deathstyle” than to excuse the behavior away and see them die young. (The average life span of a homosexual male is only 62!) …………..
Jack
THIS is why Christian churches are emptying out – starting with your first sentence being an objective LIE. Why do perverted drag queens WANT children in their audiences? Because these are GROOMING events – their method for recruiting children into gay sex.

As a mother of a daughter with Autism I dont see it either. I actually agree, “end of vacation time or not, Disney is in serious trouble with the hills they’ve chosen to die on. Let children be children! If you wanna push “woke ideologies” & take your 5yro to stuff dollar bills into the g-string of a ½ dressed drag queen then have at it but, let Disney be about innocence, fun & hapliness free from politicalagendas!!!

Aug/sept have always been slow there. They always told us Sept is the time to take vacation.
I worked there 7 yrs over 20 yrs ago. Still the same thing today. Still have many.friends who are working there.
Malikfoxen
I used to work there too in 2009 for a year in the college program. August and September were indeed slow, but the slow that they’re getting in magic Kingdom right now is Hollywood studios slow. Magic Kingdom was always busy. It was the most popular park. Hollywood studios was the least popular part because it was mostly shows and not a lot of rides. The adults tended to go to Hollywood studios when the kids weren’t around because they wouldn’t have to keep up with them while sitting around watching all the shows. Again these pictures are of magic Kingdom, and they look like what Hollywood studios used to look like in early morning 2009 around late August early September.

Perhaps you can make an exhaustive list of of what people cannot comment on or joke about around you. Thanks.

Sorry the Grooming does take place! In the themes, redos, remakes, cast members, the appearances and the political WOKE Nonsense! Sorry I have lived here for over 30 years right next to MK and the Magic is not the same! You visit fine! But Disney locally the Reputation is not nearly the same!
People in FL do not regard Disney as highly! Locals are not going like they use to! Summer months have the Tourists but as Summer ends Disney needs locals! We know Disney is NOT a Family Company! They did indeed come out against FL Parents and it is not helping them now! Disney has become too Political because of a certain element of Society fixated on their sexuality! They do not have the NUMBERS to sustain WDW over time and that is becoming apparent!
I drive by the GF, POLY, CONTEM, MK Parking Lot all the time! You can see the decrease in Guests! The Parking Lots are nowhere near filled!
Disney hurt themselves in FL with Locals and with Guests all over! Stay out of Politics! Create Magic not Agendas with Subversive themes! Disney is losing Lineage and without it the Company will find the future much less profitable and engaging! Disney’s Stock is way down from their Highs and eventually those Reduced and Fewer Visitors will show up as they continue to raise prices with Less Demand! That formula will not last much longer!
Hillaryc
Do you think Floridians are Disney’s market? The inbreds who make $8 an hour and bring their own lunch in? You might drive by GF…but likely as a bus driver. And when with the 50% discount can’t afford it. Stick with UO.

Exactly!! I don’t think i will ever take my innocent child back to Disney ever again. I don’t need WDW confusing my child. Good luck to them because i know lots of parents that feel the same!
Mike
Disney net income from 2021 to 2022 so far is 27.9 Billion which is a 41% increase since last years year to year statement. How in the world can you say they are failing. That is a ridiculous and false statement. Especially with the addition of marvel and star wars.
Romyeaux
That is what I don’t get. As a DIS stockholder, I am told that Disneycis making money. However, Disney stock is at an all-time low. As a shareholder, I would like more honesty and transparency. This stock situation has to be illegal. Shouldn’t they be required to be transparent with their stockholders?
Lynn Vico
You push non family values such as lgbtq+, push trans ideology, support the left, you bet your business will shutter. Maybe this article should have mentioned the truth. No partent I know well ever support Disney again. Why should they?

Stop threatening to fiind people you weirdo. I’m no fan of groomer or disney right now, but you look absolutely unhinged. Go take five. No one’s making fun of your son when they call somebody else an autism. So it’s extremely stupid to get your panties in a twist. Autism doesn’t define your son. If you believe that then somebody making fun of autism shouldn’t trigger you so much that you get upset for the sake of your son.

I spent 3 days in 3 Disney parks in 2019 and concluded that the only magic in the Magic Kingdom is the ability to separate large amounts of money from large numbers of people in a short amount of time.
JIm S
Ain’t that the truth? I never went to Disney till I had kids and by then I was in my late 30s. It was nice and all but it’s really not as big a deal as some people make it out to be. Everything seemed to wind up in the gift shop. I suppose if I ever have grandchildren I’ll go. Short of that, no thanks.
Malikfoxen
I work there in 2009. It’s always slow in August and September. That is correct. The problem is it’s never slow in magic Kingdom. It didn’t matter what day it was it was busy at least that year. These pictures are from magic Kingdom and they look like how Hollywood studio you used to look in August and September. That’s saying a lot. Y’all can keep saying coincidence but taking it from a guy who used to work there and those how busy each park was supposed to be. There is a marked difference from now and back then. I do think some of the blame does go to the recession. You can’t convince me that that’s this whole reason though considering Disney parks were flagging before we stopped having money. The decline has only been accelerated by the recession.

This story is not accurate at all. My family and myself just got back from there and it was very crowded and the wait times were often over an hour. The fireworks over the castle were nice, if you were tall. Packed us in very tight. You couldn’t turn around if you had to.
Parkbench
Probably because of the cost? I visited with my husband in June. We were forced to buy a park hopper even though we were only visiting 1 park and it was after 3 pm. We were visiting from Canada. I know we got ripped off but we paid it because we’d likely not make the trip again. Not sure how any family can afford that kind of money to mostly walk around.

I’ve been to Disney world approximately 30 times. Not anymore, since they changed their values and standards. It’s up to what my children see. I suggest DollyWood..Fabulous.
Romyeaux
During the week when school is in session, the parks are always empty. They start to fill up when free dining comes out, and stay busy until after the marathons.
John
Imran, calling names means you’re unable to respond to the logical and reasonable arguments. You yourself can easily be called a bigot for wrongly insisting on LGBTQ minority’s right of representation at the expense of the majority’s rights of 1.protecting kids against grooming, & 2.parental right to teach their kids the way the want.
Tim
This guy, all the rage at parties am I right? John probably wishes women didn’t get to vote or that minorities were penned up.
It’s a new world, we know more than we used to, and historical “best friends that shared a bed together” were gay, but couldn’t be together in public. LGBTQ isn’t new, it’s just not in the shadows anymore.
Don
The article deliberately left out the controversy of the LGBTQ issues. Disney is in trouble. Videos have gone viral showing top executives planning to split their future characters in all of their entertainment into straight and LGBTQ quotas. Bad move. People are turned off. I’ll never spend another penny or moment watching anything from them. Their politics are corporate suicide.
BennyBen
Let’s say, hypothetically, that you are on your bed, and let’s suppose that you are also submissive and breedable. Now, let’s say you are a male. Statistically speaking, humans, that are submissive and breedable tend to be femboys, that’s a fact (which doesn’t about your feelings). Hypothetically under these circumstances, it would be statistically speaking uncontroversial to assume you would be wearing thigh highs (which would boost your breedability factor by about 20%). Now let’s assume you are an SJW SOCIALIST LIBTARD, and let’s say I was you, would it not be under these circumstances, the only correct course of action for you to take to ABSOLUTELY WRECK AND DESTROY me (in a debate) in bed?

Tim
It’s hilarious that you feel I am the bigot and the hate monger when you read anything from John.
I’ve been married nearly 10 years in a heterosexual marriage but some of my best friends are married gays. Conservatives need to stop thinking that being accepting of something doesn’t have to mean you partake. Supreme Court didn’t allow gay marriage and force y’all to get gay-married.

Your wrong. Disney should never ever be a LGBTY leader of anything at all. We dont care how you live your lifes. Thats what you dont get. We dont care we just dont want it shoved down our throats. If you want to pretend to be a dog I dont care just dont expect me to believe your a dog. Also anyone who disagrees with this group is labelled a Trump supporting white racist. We arent allowed our thoughts and beliefs but you are allowed yours and no one is allowed to disagree with you. You dont play by same rules. Your the biggoted racist.

Exactly, people are not being there because of the wokeness crap.

@gravyy @jolandaz Agree 100%! Disney is now a citadel of groomers and intolerant narcisstic bigots bullying you into accepting their leftist propaganda. They silence other views or opinions and will cancel anyone daring to disagree with them. How soon before leftists start putting traditional heterosexual people into “reeducation camps” as aided and abetted by #disneygroomers?
Paulo
Well said Gravyy!

Imagine a world with no more heterosexuals. Ahhh no more propagating the earth as it was meant to be. No more crowded highways and ,biways.(pun ,intended) what a total slap in the face of God pretending to be other than your creator meant for you. What rebellion! What utter nonsense! I hope Disney goes under and drags all the woke people with it. Oh and libs stop moving to Florida to escape your own highly taxed and crime ridden state only to come here and vote for another lib. How stupid are you, honestly?

Price is way too high for people with a family to attend for one thing. Also trying to teach gender identity to our children is not your right or job! Changing the park and removing some things re: Song of The South and other attractions just to appease one race. I’m sorry it has been okay up to present. You are a fun thing/vacation for families. Stop lowering yourself to low standards. Your p as to was not about gender reassigning or racism. Walt Disney himself would be appalled at the way his park is run. You promote racism and hatred.

I’ve seen kids in the parks and hotels two weeks after school has opened, so I very much doubt that school reopening is the reason, if it’s even true in the first place.
I love Disney, and was recently there, but I have been hoping that there would be an all out boycott of Bob Chapek’s awful policies.

I don’t like or support their policies but I have been there recently. Vote with your dollars…

Oh yes – becuase we are tired of having LMNOP sexual disfunction shoved down our and our childrens throats we are bigots. Find a new argument. “we only want to be married” what a damn lie – you want to have every proclivity recognized and now they are pushing for beatiality in Germany. you want people to be less accepting keep pushing it all.

Living in Florida and having an annual pass where I went all times of the year, school starting…summer over..etc, was never an issue. If was always full at Disney. Bob is getting greedy. As someone who has been going to Disney since literally day one when it opened when I was a small child to having given up going when Disney got stupid with all the PLANdemic crap, (and as a stockholder), I hope Disney gets what it deserves and all of this crap comes back and bites them. Especially Bob and those who agree with what he’s doing.

There is nothing bigoted about biological facts . You are what you are born as. If you are not sure , check your plumbing. It is not rocket science.
jal11180
Ironically says the intolerant bigot that hates the truth being told, and those things, along the things that were mentioned in the article, along with flooding, have all equally contributed to the decline in attendance to those places. The Disney Empire is crumbling and you are too blind to see that in your life.
Jeffrey P
What time were the pictures taken. Could they have been taken at park opening?
K Joe
Nope. The OP is exactly right…nobody wants their children in the parks around you and the rest of your pervert pals, lurking around Disney, trying to groom and convert children into your freakstyle…I mean lifestyle.

Not bigoted but an opinion. Just because it differs from yours gives you no right to resort to name calling- doing so proves you are no better. Why not try conversation instead.
Frank Booth
Most of the left can’t do that, especially when it comes to LBGTQ. Their thinking is emotion driven, hence the slurs and insults. That’s what people do when they don’t have a valid argument.

Bigoted? Well don’t complain to us when they take your kid away for not having his parts removed as his first glance at a doll. Stop calling this something it’s not. Normal parents don’t want their kids propagandized in order to vote Democratic. You’re just a cog in their machine you idiot.

Paul B
I think what you are seeing is backlash from. DISNEY’S stance on LGBTQ. Sure school is out but his comment carries the weight of many who don’t want their children forced to watch what Disney thinks is a good idea. Calling someone a Bigot online makes you a keyboard cowboy. Not a good look.
Rev
Mmmm, we don’t have to guess where you stand.
Jan
I agree. We are 50 yr plus residents of Fl and have always waited until right after school started to go to ALL of the Florida theme parks. They have always been slower at this time due to school starting. Please please stop making up stories you obviously have absolutely no idea about. Oh, but wait, that’s the MAGA way, which most Americans have no stomach for.
Thank you Disney for standing up with our LGBTQ community.
Just having plain basic human rights to do whatever they feel is right for themselves and their families is none of your freaking business.
Jack
If Walt Disney himself was still alive or should I say revived after his suspended animation. He would fire CEO Frankenstein, then bulldoze both Disney parks from exposure from the LMNOP/Political buyoffs taint. Used to be a cool place and company, I have burned every single Disney movie, items, tshirts, collectibles, including the very first maps, mickey watches, everything worth tens of thousands of dollars to make sure that none of it ever is resting on a shelf of questionable integrity. The best thing that could happen in the future is Disney and its parks get turned back to orange groves or cement parking garages. Besides, fried chicken sounds pretty good about now. You suk as a writer. Perfect example of whats wrong in the school systems.

I am not interested in ever going to any Disney park.

2% of the population is intersex. What does intersex mean? Intersex is a general term used for a variety of situations in which a person is born with reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn’t fit the boxes of “female” or “male.” Sometimes doctors do surgeries on intersex babies and children to make their bodies fit binary ideas of “male” or “female”. So that blows your “biology” statement right out of the water. Read a medical journal once in a while.
B Aan
Exaggerating doesn’t do the cause any good, buddy. Please don’t misrepresent facts, it helps no one. The type of intersex you’re talking about is well below 1% though it is a very broad term. 0.5% show a variation, and again, not the type you’re talking about.
“It is estimated that up to 1.7 percent of the population has an intersex trait and that approximately 0.5 percent of people have clinically identifiable sexual or reproductive variations.”
Dan
100% Agreed — according to actual doctors (WebMD) — the number of people born as intersex is somewhere between 1 in 1000 to 1 in 1500. Noel is out of her damn mind.
Gravyy
Thats complete utter BS. Your talking 1 in a billion. Like someone born with 3 hands or 6 toes…etc. You would find anything to define your position. If you have a uterus and its healthy you can have a baby and are a female. If you dont have 1 your a male. Thats the rule in all biology. You cant change true biology.

So if you have a uterus and it’s unhealthy then you’re a female? That makes zero sense, you realize that, right? Just accept that there are more than two sexes and genders and it is NOT up to US to look inside people’s bodies to see what their anatomy is.

So if you have a uterus and it’s unhealthy then you’re a male? That makes zero sense.

JohnNeedsAHug
Are you still a thing?

Have you been to Disney???????
Do they have anything in their parks that try to “indoctrinate” four year olds into becoming gay?
Are the characters acting any different than they did 50 yrs ago? Is Cinderella’s Castle hosting raunchy sex parties? What exactly are they doing in the parks for you to claim such???????
Do you really think Jesus would approve of your hate? Do you even know what type of people the Apostles were? HE turned on No One. HE said to be the salt of the earth and teach HIS love and mercy. It’s kind of hard to do that when you are bashing your neighbors, which is breaking a commandment, btw.😉
John
Jesus accepted everyone, including murderers and thieves but would help the troubled ones stop their harmful acts. Similarly, modern Christians don’t hate LGBTQ people. They accept them and try to help them move towards the more fertile & healthy straight lifestyle. Simultaneously, Christians also try to protect their children from being lured into the harmful & sorrowful LGBTQ lifestyle.
Mason
You’re talking about the blasphemy known as progressive Christianity. Christians denounce that ideology. There’s nothing Christian about progressive Christianity.

Natasha
Anyone reading this please dont believe this bs and I’m not referring to this crappy ride and the injuries it causes but the message behind it. Making statements that this ride is like a bull and it’s trying to shake you off. the beginning article opens up with a ridiculous statement about how bullfighting is an ancient this and that and how wonderful it is.. etc.. bunch of fabricated BS!
Bulls are nothing like what they’re depicted to be. If you ever go to an animal rescue go visit the bulls. Theyre the most gentle animals that you will ever meet in person! Bulls are extremely calm and gentle and yes huge and yes they hover over you and it’s kind of scary just to stand there and be next to them but they’re sweet and gentle they literally lean over so you can pet them! they do not do anything that they are depicted to do! the only reason why they act out the way they do during rodeos is because they’re kept in these really huge segregated warehouses in the dark. they have chilies and yes I mean pepper chilies shoved in their eyeballs, Vaseline shoved up their noses and spikes put around their heels so they have to stand in pain!
they’re not fed and they’re not given any water and they’re left in total darkness and isolation! So why do they do this you ask? Because it leaves an animal without any of its senses… hungry for a few days by itself what do you think happens when they let an animal like that out of its shed when it’s rodeo day?
well they come out disoriented, hungry, and happy to be out! The one thing they don’t come out as is angry or aggressive just so happy to get out they buck around!
because the chilies come out of their eyes vaseline comes out of their nose that can hear and see they’re not in the dark anymore not all covered up in ankle spikes come off of their and they’re just so relieved and happy to get out!
can you imagine living like that and being stuck in a rodeo and they’re treating you that way? so when you come out what do you think you’re gonna act like?
No only are these animals are used as a commodity and they are carted around as if they are not even living beings! they just just go from one horrible rodeo to another to be treated like garbage tortured and abused for human entertainment selfish selfish human entertainment! it’s disgusting and I still cannot believe it’s not outlawed! it is nothing short of animal abuse!
And if you don’t believe me go look it up how animals are treated before rodeo this is what they want people to believe that they’re coming out angry and bucking and they just do this naturally out of nowhere it’s a bunch of BS and this ride is based on the notion that bulls act this way when they don’t act Petting zoos, animal shows, breeding grounds… disgusting! All this equates to animal abuse! When will selfish humans wake TF up? All these places much like sea world use animals a entertainment props! These are glorified prisons for animals! Abuse comes in many forms and not just through physically abusing someone but mental and social as well! You visit these places you are promoting and supporting this cycle of abuse. Animals are not entertainment props and they don’t belong on captivity but they’re own natural habitat. I hope Rodris are shut down forever! My daughter in exotic wild animal specialist that holds a PHD in animal sciences and is highly against places like this for hood reason. Please don’t give them your money to the selfish fools that own and operate this place if you don’t support animal abuse. this way because nasty selfish cruel humans put them in this position they treat them in such a way that this is how they react when they won out of their prisons that they were put in by nasty humans that have no heart and No compassion! remember this before you decide to go to a rodeo your money you’re supporting and promoting Animal abuse!
Jim
How did we ever get to be such a hate hate filled society? Pandemic caused a lot of changes, but the outright hatefulness that human beings have shown to each other and nothing to do with the virus. Come on folks. Remember the old proverb of love thy neighbor? It sure isn’t being displayed much anymore.
John
We don’t hate LGBTQ anymore than we hate smokers. We just want them to stop grooming our children to their infertile lifestyle.
Fabio
Frankly, I have not seen anything at any of these parks that reek of grooming. All you’re talking about is Disney’s stand as company to. Nothing in the park has changed that. What has changed is the ability to go to the park any time you want and be able to visit all the attractions you want without having to make reservations or using Genie+. It has become stressful trying to go to a park. You’re supposed to be going to vacation to be less stressful. I suspect the author of the article was closer to the truth… It’s probably due to everyone’s kids going back to school and people’s vacations are over.
jolandaz
he stopped saying welcome Ladies and Gentlemen. Boys and Girls and changed it to people. THat is a pretty big change when 98% of the population is not Trans

A good number of employees at Disney are LGBTQ.
They’re the one’s bringing you the magic. Can guarantee homophobia is not what’s causing low attendance, but glad it’s keeping you away.
Mia
Bingo!
Sher
Totally agree 👍
Pendar
I boycotted all things Disney, because children are our future and homosexuals cannot reproduce, but they are making progress with artificial sperm. Wake me up when we’re out of the twilight zone. Disney apparently cannot see that Homosexuals isn’t good for business since they cannot have children and Disneys business is children.
Vicki
Pendar, artificial sperm? Have you never heard of a sperm donor? Even straight people who cannot have children of their own due to low sperm counts in the male, go to sperm banks. That is how many a male college student earned extra money, by donating sperm. There are even stories of people finding half siblings when they do DNA tests because of these donations.
Bill
John you could not be more right! Nobody wants to take your kids to a circus and expose them to unnatural people. You can’t tell me that homosexuality and all the other letters I have is not a mental illness. So protecting your kids is a parent’s job! It’s sad to see the woke community what they’ve done and the gay community of the low percentage rate of this country and world have damn near destroyed the country.

Kelly
I think since God made the LGBTQ peole too, and they are every bit as human as you, yes, YOU are technically supposed to be, then I guess that means they are natural. God made gay people too, and it’s up to God to judge their actions. Stop trying to do God’s job for him. Look at the man in the mirror for once. Or are you a bot set up by Russia and /or the Epstein pedo politicians that Russia supported. Who was it, what ex president was it that used and still uses Epstein customer/ lawyer Alen Dershowitz as a lawyer again? Grooming…. hmmmm interesting you should bring that up. What was that about Matt Gaetz and his enabler buddy desantis again? Was that grooming of teen girls, sex trafficking, or both? People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
SShoop
You all from the LBGQT community need to quietly meld into every day life and not make such a flashy display in public that tends to irritate the conservative public.

Linda
Very likely the case.
Henry
Please explain the non sequitur you used, “unnatural LGBTQ”?
After all – being born as an LGBTQ is a gift Mother Nature grants at birth to a select few; she then sends us into a harsh world where we teach others what it means.
Charles
I hope you don’t have kids, with a mental illness like yours, they’ll surely be retarded.
Allyson
That’s what the parents are for.
Larry Watson
You’re absolutely right! Pushing an unnatural agenda against the wishes of the majority of Park patrons SURELY had no effect at all… said no sane person on earth. Those who disagree know the truth but are unable to grasp the concept of the reality, Disney is getting what it asked for. I hope it gets much more of the same treatment. Maybe then they’ll come to ‘our’ senses and stop the stupid. Otherwise, it may cost more than Disney can afford.
Shannon Sweatt⅔
Yep!
Steve
Go woke, go broke
Lgbtq Ally
Always some overzealous religious fanatic or political hack who feels they have the answer to a dilemma and then blames it on the lgbtq community due to their bigotry and hate. Get a life and research what the real legitimate reason might be and not what your hateful ideology makes you think it is.
Joyce
I agree. Disney is playing politics and they should be neutral and not corrupt the minds of children.
Jason
Couldn’t agree more. Plus have you seen the amount of Disney employees being busted for bad things with children lately I mean there has been a few of them. And yes there policy on over playing there reach on what they feel little kids should be taught is wrong. Disney should only entertain children not try to teach them things there not ready for. I mean come on we’re talking about children here that still believe in Santa Claus and the Easter bunny. Anyone who thinks that right is screwed in the head. So what you want and be whatever you want just leave kids out of it.
Bill
Amen to that !!!
Philip
John you are so right!
Philip
John you are correct! I have gone to Disney just about every year for the past 5 years and now we have stopped. I respect others views but don’t want others views forced on any children, that are out of the norm. We have also stopped watching Disney, purchasing Disney stuff and will probably cancel Disney plus. They need to issue an apology.
tnew
Correct
Lee
Thank you John! Hopefully this liberal establishment will go belly up. Companies like this are destroying this world. We need to end the lgbt community
thegayestgoth
I knew I was going to find this here. Do you really believe that that guy running in tights as Peter Pan is straight?
Allyson
I was thinking more transgender male. Kinda feminine, if u ask me, except the time when Robin Williams played Peter in Hook. 🙃
Swordking Jedimaster00
PEPOLE are stupid to go to waltdisnéy world during the school months its not a Christmas Holliday to do a visit it’s not time yet only in Christmas & spring break, & summer vacation only !
JL
Agreed. Our family refuses to go to any Disney park or see any Disney films over their misguided attempts to push the LGBT agenda over family entertainment. We won’t stand for it.
Brian
Umm no. It’s a normal drop this time of year when everyone goes back to school. You know, that place the the right wing hates almost as much as Disney
Steve
Umm yes, most people do not agree with these loony left positions regarding gender oddities and pervasions of normalcy.
David
Right on target.
Phuque Choo
It’s more like nobody wants to go to your assbackwards state with a crazy governor. Disneyland in California is packed. Fool.
Allyson
Because Newsom is a way better governor…my ass.
Moe Bergermosheko
Completely agreed! Disney should be in the business of entertainment, not of pushing the far-left’s political agenda. That nonsense has disenfranchised a very large segment of the population that was once a loyal constituency.
Steve
I think you are right. Let’s see if the trend continues to validate your hypothesis (I personally hope). Do t fear opposition to your perceptive position.
Becky
Totally agree you, John. Well said!!
Christian
You people are truly the misery class.
Sb123
Yes – no longer family friendly
Michael Demma
Disney is dying because of its family unfriendly atmosphere and promotion of the gay life style. Dozens of friends have stated they will no longer return. Grandparents will seek other venues to spend time with family.
John
What an idiotic thing to say! It’s usually the religious fools that turn out to be the pedofiles every time !
Mary
Disney’s Chairwoman Susan Arnold is openly lesbian. Could she be using family-oriented Disney to groom children for LGBTQ?
Shelley
Oh John keep your paranoia to yourself. Disney has ALWAYS been every race, religion, gender, sexual orientation etc etc friendly.
The high cost of visiting the park plus a normal slow time due to school openings are the likely cause.
Marty
Agrred
Gerry
The majority is speaking by not going to the LGBTQ agenda child indoctrinating theme park. The queer community is a minority, quit sticking the perversion in the majorities kids faces and Disney might recover, maybe . Now call me a bigot,your only untrue response BTW,Thank you DeSantis,2022!
Charles
Gerry, great post.
Imorel sickos need to be rounded up and taken out with the trash!
Julie Tate
No sir, you seem to be misguided as well…. There are many factors that are affecting the parks WORLDWIDE and every industry whatsoever, so before you pinpoint fingers and criticize humanity EDUCATE yourself about how the world evolution continues. Regardless of gender, age, religion, sex, political views, marital status or any other qualifications, humans are just that: HUMANS and we all operate the same way. Just like everything in the world, BORN, GROW, REPRODUCE AND DIE… Are you immortal or a robot? Stop your ignorance about humanity. Disney is simply dying just like everything and everyone.
Maryam
That’s a narrow minded and discriminated view! How small you are!
Dave W.
Correct. Yeah, put everything in the Disney movies as woke liberalism and flaming liberal beliefs.
Charles
I actually was thinking just about the same thing. Disney’s wokeism is catching up with them. If they continue to do that kind of thing I wouldn’t care if they just went out of business.
Kat
People who care about “grooming” can’t afford Disney prices. For the rest of us, school’s in session. The next Disney vaca is scheduled for Easter break.
Nathaniel
Uh no. We can afford it. We’re just taking our money elsewhere. Why would anyone want to support a company that wants teachers to discuss sexuality with their kids. I have a 4 year old son, and I have to be concerned that if he shows any feminine personality traits, some groomer will try to confuse him. It’s disgusting.
Allyson
At first, I thought she meant that the groomers couldn’t afford to go there, so they wait out in the parking lot or something. Lol
Zac
Fact!!!
Jillibean
Our genders are defined at conception.
Rick
You, are truly an uneducated jerk.
Gustavo Fring
Walt Disney (from my home state) must be rolling in agony in his grave at seeing the woke nutters take over his beloved legacy that he worked so hard to make. It is very sad what has happened to Disney. The guests and consumers must demand better of Disney or they’ll crumble.
Nathaniel
We used to go to Disney World once a year. Now with their stance against those who don’t want our kids sexualized, we have decided not to go in December as planned. We always love visiting, but we just couldn’t enjoy supporting a company that would do something so horrific. It’s just very sad.
Hopefully, they will get new leadership that will reverse course and listen to what their customers want in stead of destructive investment groups who have infiltrated like BlackRock.
Sarah
I agree 100%! I’d love to see Disney go out of business. Parents don’t want their children exposed to their “not so secret gay agenda”. Just let kids be kids.
Tipperootoo
I agree. Go woke go broke. Disney does not need my children anymore.
Jane
Agreed! They’ve gone completely woke, even with their movies. Notice how they are slowly removing Walt out of the picture? I bet he’s rolling over in his grave as to what they’ve done!
Shadow
I was JUST thinking the same thing since it hit the news…funny, no mention of it in THIS article.
Maybe the “writer” should have researched further… But THAT wouldn’t push the “agenda”.
🤔🤔
Dee
100% Agree, entertainment is what they get paid to do.
Geoff
most people would love to go but who can afford to take out a loan just to fly family down and and pay for park
KJ
Wow, you’re an ahole. Have a nice time in hell.
John
You stupid misguided bigot. Maybe it’s because of people like you that guests aren’t coming. I know that’s my reason.
Artificially Unintelligent
So basically you’re saying that Disney’s insistence on bringing identity politics into their parks is hurting them from both ends of the spectrum. Nice.
Jlock
I think it’s about of that and a bit of unstaffed and a bit of ride issues and resent flooding.. The atmosphere and over all merale of cast members can really be felt. They are over worked, underpaid and under appreciated.
Angeline Potter
Thank you John I completely agree with you
The reaper
I agree 100%. You cannot blatantly do the sexua deviance’s Disney does and expect people to be alright with it.
Courtney
Nope that’s not it. That’s a extremely minority view and Disney has made even more money since taking a stand against bigots.
Jack Mosley
Agreed. Additionally, the economy has tanked. Call it what you want but the Biden administration has sealed the fate of America with his dimwitted but Marxist like policies! He and his administration has been doing everything they can to destroy our economy and drive us closer to a communist government. I would give Biden all the credit for this but he is merely a Dementia riddled meat puppet! And save your leftist lunatic attacks because I don’t like Trump either! This is all being driven by the NWO/WEF! “You will own nothing and be happy!”
Joe
You’re 100% correct! People are finally waking up and seeing them for what they truly are! When the executive producer Latoya Raveneau stated she had a not-so- secret gay agenda, she sealed the deal for corporate suicide of the company. You’re not going to force crap luke that down the throats of normal people. That’s why their stock sunk as well! Screw them, they’ll never get a dime from me or anyone in my family. I’ll gladly spend it at Universal! F-DISNEY
Rebeccaa
Snort… no groomers worse than the pope and his minions. Mormons attract similar groomers. Nevermind Ala-blame-her the redhat pedophile state. All self-righteous patriarchal bastions who elected a self-dyed orange daughter porker. And you put your finger up your nose at DISNEY?!!!!! Rome poncey Boyz paid gazillion tor a few of their victims.
Gotta laugh at the redhat hypocrites.
Shaena
Spotted the conservative!
Kevin
While trumpsters and right-wingers would like to believe that politics has caused Disney to be slower this week, the truth is they had an enormously busy summer, and now kids are going back to school and the summer rush is over.
No
Stfu
LionelMandrake
Disney lost my family when they went pedophile left.
Never another dime from anybody I know.
Jim
You’re an uneducated ass.
Nancy
Amen, I’ll never stand behind anyone or anything that goes beyond what is natural, especially this subject….
Matt
Absolutely nailed it!
Janvier
I was in Magic Kingdom Florida last August 19th 2022 and there was people everywhere.
I don’t know when this picture was taken. Maybe in pandemic period
Alecia
Wow. I’m sure glad that only the minority think like you instead of the majority because telling a person they can’t be who they are is wrong. Is it so unatural to love people for who they are? Some brains develop as one gender and people are attracted to different genders. We can’t help who we love or how we feel inside. If someone told you different then they lied. 1941 called: they want their narrow-mindedness back!!!!
Richard Adams
Oh BS, it’s nothing more than a tendency that you idiots wallow in. Like I have tendencies to want to smash the face of ever sick evil twisted pedophile of a liberal thät I see spout lies. I just don’t act on it. Well…. Not always
Donna
👍that’s the truth
Dad
Totally agree John. The new Disney CEO has pushed agendas that the majority of the general attending population does not want, nor agree with. I been a Disney fan and attended the parks since I was 3 years old. I am 47 now. Disney’s gay day is disgusting, I was a season pass holder and I could not enjoy the magic of the theme since gays were waving pride flags in my face and being disruptive. Disney is not magical innocence for children anymore. Just a grooming playground agenda for the left as they jack prices so high that regular income hard working parents can no longer justify the expense to let their children be corrupted by such origination that no longer defends a child’s innocence.
VB
Okay Adolf.
Jack Frost
This comment has to be a joke. No one’s this dense.
John
I think Disney has moved away from family values and is more concerned with being politically correct and that has cost them and not in the long run but a short period of time.
Douglas Knight
I know I will never ever set one foot of anything Disney nor will I knowingly spend one dollar on anything associated w them.
Brandon
Amen!
Allyson
Disney could always recoup their income loss from the right side, by charging the ones on the left who go by the pronouns they/them/ther/blah blah blah double. That seems fair to me, and they do want to be treated fair, right? ;p
Brian
John, that’s the most absurd statement ever. Did you know there are 99% more cases of child sexual abuse that come out of the church in 1 year than all of disney combined….ever
Gena
I soley agree. I will not take my children back to Walt Disney!
Bob
Since Disney became “woke” we’ve put the place to sleep!! We used to go there with our five kids two to three times a year but never again…
JDY
As a retired vet, I don’t like having immorality thrown down my throats snd taught to my kids in school. Keep you sexual life at home.
Tim Shacoski
This is exactly the reason we do not take our family and grandchildren to Disney. We will not support any sexual endoctrination of children. I grew up with Disney and my kids did too however our values no longer align. This is the nicest way to say what I really fee.
Sam
Exactly.
Daniel
Yes! That’s the truth. I know staff there and would confirm it’s going down hill because of the political stance has infected it’s charm with a moral virus worse than covid.
Betsy
Agreed
Jeanine DeSantis
Most Disney visitors go there because it’s “family friendly.” But they just had to jump on the PC bandwagon. They’re screwing themselves over by promoting an agenda that’s inappropriate for children.
jorge ly
Well said
Eric
Oh please. We were there in May and it was a madhouse. If attendance has dropped its because it’s become too expensive.
Lori
Well said! Go woke go broke.
Steve
I believe John is spot on, Bingo
lorraine
southerners sent their kids to school a couple of weeks ago, Northerners are getting their kids ready for school next week, and colleges just started this month, maybe the weekend will be busy but then after until november it probably will be slow, but we have NOT seen it this slow at all, as a matter of fact a few days ago when we went the lines were about 20 to 35 minutes long at MK on all the rides we went on. maybe if they took away the reservation system for local passholders it would be busier
Jack Sparrow
Excuses on steroids.
SShoop
Dont like, and have always felt that the passes that allow wealthier patrons to go to the front of waiting lines, unfair to patrons who had to scrape money together just to buy adm.tickets..Again the average or below average income patrons are side lined due to money issues..just like all the wealth screwing up our govt.,the corrupt REPUBLICANS
arty
Let’s go Brandon and your demons
Charles
Republicans ain’t got nothing to do with most of what goes on at Disney, you can blame your liberal buddies for that.
Barbara
Unfortunately I wouldn’t return for free. They can keep their park and their nickel and dimes, also Disney is never going to be the same. Keep it and the horrible customer service.
I am all UOAP
Donna DaRos
I agree. Walt must be doing 360’s in his grave at how this park has changed. My husband and I visited a year after it opened, and it was magical and affordable. Now, one needs to break the bank to go there, and guests are not even treated as guests. Sorry state of affairs.
D
It’s about $100 to get in magic Kingdom. That’s far cheaper than nfl or nba tickets. Eat before or after you go.
Becky
Totally agree with you, John. Well said!! God planned our gender and it should be accepted at birth only.
Jack Frost
Keep your bronze aged fairytale to yourself, that adults are talking.
Corey
I dont think Walt is rolling in his grave because Disney supports all walks of like. But i do agree that Disney has become very unaffordable, nicle and dining absolutely everything. Im at WDW as I write this and it is NOT empty. Went to buy a 2022 christmas ornamebt and it was an extra $3 just to have 2022 written on it. Im from Canada and everywhere here seems to have military discounts, which i very much appreciate… everyhere but WDW!!!
SShoop
Agree, money trumps the common patron..Walter would not RECOGNIZE the new and not better version of Disney
Landry
Lmao Barbara.
We’ll do just fine without your money. There’s always someone else ready to come in
Erik
Until there’s not. That’s a crappy business strategy there buster. I’d never want you on my management team with thinking skills such as that.
W
Plus the last time was in there u could feel the resentment towards a normal family. Husband wife and the Kids. The sight of a happy nuclear family was such an annoyance there that I haven’t gone back
Jack
I’ve been there too and this is false, you’re just gaslighting.
SShoop
Jack, You are wrong, wealth comes before common fairness You are ignoring the basic facts..money first, fairness last..I have watched the faces of little tykes as others go to the front of the line after they were waiting sometimes over an hour..Obviously you are one of the go to the front of the line jokers!
Phuque Choo
Malarkey
MV
Agree!
Dani
They need to stop with political crap and get rid of the reservations along with affordable prices again,so pass holders can actually go then maybe they wouldn’t Lose so much money!!
Joe
Aug. 10, 2022:
consumer spending — powered Disney’s increase in profitability. Revenue totaled $21.5 billion, a 26 percent increase from a year earlier. Operating profit surged 50 percent, to $3.6 billion.
Exclamation points do not make something true. Dispite your feelings on their current direction to say it is hurting their profit margin is a ridiculous statement. If anything it looks like it’s having the opposite effect.
Nathaniel
This is because of people getting their revenge COVID vacations in plus higher prices. You will see a very different earnings report next time. I’m actually considering shorting it.
Courtney
Disney hasn’t made anything political that’s the conservatives making it an issue when inclusion should not be
Steve
Everyone who kept defending everything on the grounds of the parks being packed… you can admit I was right now.
I hope you aren’t still holding that hot potato stock. DIS has a long way down to go.
Will
There is a Halloween party tonight. The park closes early to day guests. This is normal, most people choose to skip this park if they are not attending the party. You selectively chose to leave that out of your story to make it seem like people are abandoning Disney World. It’s very deceptive. This page is terrible
M
Maybe you missed this part ? “There is also the case of the Halloween festivities — Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party takes place at Magic Kingdom tonight with Party Guests able to enter the Park from 4 p.m. suggesting that non-Party Guests may likely be staying clear and utilizing their precious Park Passes elsewhere.”
BJ
Have to disagree with this article. We were there last week and the parks were packed. Without Genie+ the lines were and hour to an hour and a half wait time. Busses and monorail were crowded. I will say it was a very expensive week. Prices are out of control.
Tom
So you don’t disagree with article. It was about today, not about last week. Did you read the article?
Tom
If you didn’t read the article, then don’t comment.
President Biden
I’VE NEVER READ ANYTHING IN MY LIFE, WHO ARE YOU???
David
Love it going down next week hopefully it stays quiet. This reminds me of years ago.
Tony Carter
I was there in June, & it was packed. Very Expensive & no fun, but everything is up. Will try free or
cheap local festivals, parks, free TV Nite, Lunch w/Friends. No Nascar, No Streaming, No Concerts, No Live Shows, & No Contributions to Rich Politicians.
Kelly
Look at eventbrite, groupon, and festivals.net. there is a lot of fun to be had for less money. Also fathom events for a special selction of older movies, and more showing at theaters near you. Plus facebook groups about events for your local area tell a lot. Also meetup.com has groups that could suit your hobbies and interests. Have fun for less money.
Kurt
No crowds?!
Time to hit the park!!!
William Louis Zeisset
My wife and I are going in October and it would really be nice if it was relatively quiet!
Kelly
To the guy and his wife going in October, I wish you a blissfully happy time with a very comfortable few amount of people there during your time. I only wish I could afford to go too. I haven’t been since 2010. I wish you all the fun and magic during your time there. Enjoy.
MT
We’re in hard times for the middle class. ‘Nuff said. It’s mainly that as a reason and Disney’s responding to the customers tightening their belts by hiking the prices up on food and the Genie+ pay to ride things resulting in less turn out.
I will say though their image hasn’t been great though, having fools starting fights in the park and stories about thots shooting only fans videos on rides and the cast members being allowed to have tattoos and piercings now…. It’s basically turning into a trashy carnival. Not the idealized experience Walt was aiming for. Would you expect to see throw downs in ToonTown or Philharmagic gang fights back in the 90s or 00s?
D
Ooooohhh that is true. The hate of the real world should not spill into Walt’s world but maybe people just stay mad about everything now. Sad times..
W
Disney publicly stated it’s about quality not quantity. The were talking about the guests. They don’t want the middle class anymore. They rather sell one Trans Mickey doll for $50 bucks than 10 original ones at $10 bucks each. They don’t want your traditional middle America family. Your not welcome there anymore. They are pricing you out on purpose
Charles
W Then we will likely be saying goodbye to Disney in the next 5-10 years if that is truly the case. Honestly the majority of the American public is quite tired of wokeism and everything to do with it. Woke TV shows are going down the tubes and everything else that supports wokeism is in sharp decline among mainstream American. Sure there are minority and fringe groups that support it like crazy and are quite vocal in their insanity but a vocal minority doesn’t produce enough revenue to keep a beast the size of Disney going for long. If Disney thinks that the majority of this country is woke then they are woefully blind and deaf. Wokeism will kill Disney and everything else it touches if they are not careful.
Kelly
Trashy is as trashy does. The fights are from the trashy guests that show up and act like that. When are people going to learn money and class have nothing to do with eachother. The Chump family in the whitehouse and some royals like Prince Andrew, and pedo Jeff Epstein the very rich buddy of both Prez Chump and prince Andrew , plus all of Epstein’s rich customers still roaming free all proved that didn’t they. So what’s happening with the misbehavior of certain low class guests at Disney is a reflection of society in general. It really has nothing to do with the company themselves. The only thing Disney can do is kick out those jerks, and call the cops when they act up/break the rules, just like any other public place.
Ken
Bigotry? Hardly. Society has taken a very deep dive into the ungodly cesspool of immortality since Jesus and His word were kicked out of schools and much of public life. “Blessed is the Nation whose God is the Lord”(Jesus)
The converse is also true. We have invited a curse upon this country. Disney is, has become, a spokesperson for all that has gone wrong in America and many Americans have had enough!
Ken
Immorality, not immortality!
Kelly
So, are you a sinner too? Just asking since you seem to be one of the many casting stones at others. Let God and the Law judge others. If people stayed in their own lane, quit being such hypocritical, SELF-RIGHTEOUS, lying Karens we’d all be better off and a whole lot safer. Yes be aware of danger, when there is actually danger. The more you cry wolf when there is none, the less people will believe you when you’re actually in danger. Plus how do we know you’re not a wolf in sheeps clothing? As so many Karens both male and female are extremely dangerous while they pretend to be innocent as they have had so many jailed and/or lynched throughout history. Gee, no wonder all the Karens don’t want history taught in schools anymore. They don’t want people to know the truth of what has already happened.
Nathaniel
There’s a difference between being a sinner and encouraging others to sin. That’s what Disney has been doing for a long time, but they crossed a whole different line when they came out in support of grooming.
Charles
Yes Ken, you have hit the nail on the head brother. The wages of sin has always been death and that death always manifests itself in some way. Let’s say it loud and strong man we cannot be backward and asleep in this day and age. It’s time for the woke to meet those who are alive in Christ! It’s time for the woke to meet the truly awakened! The darkness never has been able to comprehend or overcome the light and it never will. This is why we don’t have dark bulbs! Woke folks you are not the majority of America. The only reason you have gotten away with what you have is because the rest of us are nicer than you and we don’t usually shove our lifestyles in other people’s faces threaten the morality of the nation and especially children though and you will have a war on your hands that you will never win. I don’t mean a physical fight and I’m not threatening anyone but I’m talking about a spiritual war. Jesus has already won, it’s already finished. If people don’t turn to him you are just in a miserable holding tank awaiting final judgement no matter how much you scream and shout. This whole ballgame doesn’t end well for anyone except those who put their faith in Jesus Christ.
Linda
Yikes! This is all so political and so many bigots. If they aren’t attending because of the LGBTQ thing, I am very happy about that as I prefer not to be around the bad influence of bigots with my grandkids in tow. I love Disney and I love diversity. I am looking forward to going there with the family and grandkids next week. I’m an old white lady, with a middle aged gay son, a straight daughter, terrific husband, two wonderful grandkids and a live for people and life. See ya soon Mickey and Minnie.
Ava
We don’t have a problem with your gay son. We DO have a problem with the men who put on a dress and follow our daughters into women’s bathrooms.
Rox
It is relatively quiet this time of year due to back-to-school. Love it!
Lisa
Amen!
Jack Sparrow
Another groomer
Dee
Nobody cared if one was gay. Nobody cared if one was trans. Nobody cared if one was another color. It wasn’t till it was shoved down our throats that we cared and being pushed on OUR CHILDREN. I had said it’s only a matter of time before they start calling people bigots if they push back and here we are.
Michael Demma
With you all the way
None of your business
Linda is an old white lady name. Whereas a name like Anaiyah is clearly an Arabic name which probably belongs to a young black girl. I just chose that name as an example that certain names are used by certain races.
Mary
I have been a life long Disney fan since the day Mr Disney opened the Park. The past 3-5 years things have changed. It’s now an adult park not fit for children.
We had a few Disney time shares sold all of them. Many past treasured Disney memorabilia given or trashed it all.
Barbara sums up my feelings best of all
Unfortunately I wouldn’t return for free. They can keep their park and their nickel and dimes, also Disney is never going to be the same. Keep it and the horrible customer service.
Itzafig
Mary – did they dig Walt up to open the Park? Just curious since he died in ‘66 and MK did not open till ‘71. He must of been pretty ripe by opening date 😉
Michael Demma
Showing your ignorance. WD designed and built that park with a dream of family. Nit perversion forced down attendees throats.
Mario
Disneyland is superior. After going to MK for the first time recently we were disappointed at how it felt like a cheap version of the original park. But we loved Animal kingdom and Epcot.
Barbara
I wish it had been kind of a ghost town when I was there back in middle to end of May, 2022. It was crowded as crap. The park didn’t feel the same to me. It’s missing something. Plus tickets and other things are overpriced.
Didn’t get to eat breakfast at Chef Mickey either, which was the first time that has ever happened. Have eaten at Chef Mickey everytime we went there for years until this past year. We never could get reservations because of being booked up and crowded. Had to have breakfast at Hollywood and Vine instead. Didn’t like it as well as Chef Mickey. As for going back to Disney, maybe/maybe not until I get reservations at Chef Mickey.
Barbara
Again!!!
Lucas
Notice no workers or Disney characters. Word is out that they are going on strike or just went on strike. That will also mean many of the rides won’t be functioning. Who wants to pay an exorbitant entry fee to a theme park under those conditions.
Mika Warren
Went to Epcot, MK and studios today (8/30).
Complete ghost town, rode some of the best rides, and even got to ride gurdian twice! When Space and Big Thunder are a walk on, sign me up!!
Renee
I’ve been to dismay a few time twice during the summer and once during off season. This does not look like off season.
Sherri
I was there last week and it was extremely crowded with long wait times. This was not our experience.
John
Why LGBTQ automatically assume whoever disagrees with their unnatural acts must hate them? Just because someone disagrees with the act of smoking doesn’t mean he hates all smokers. He disagrees but respects the smoker’s choice. However, he just doesn’t want the smokers (ie, LGBTQ) to lure/groom his children to smoking by publicly advertising smoking as a normal/natural act to be tried (thereby violating his parental right to teach his children his own beliefs).
jep jep
Except being gay isn’t contagious nor does it cause cancer…derp!
John
Then how do you explain science papers showing huge increases in kids becoming LGBTQ within close groups, close to 40%? Also what about borderline kids?
BennyBen
Let’s say, hypothetically, that you are on your bed, and let’s suppose that you are also submissive and breedable. Now, let’s say you are a male. Statistically speaking, humans, that are submissive and breedable tend to be femboys, that’s a fact (which doesn’t about your feelings). Hypothetically under these circumstances, it would be statistically speaking uncontroversial to assume you would be wearing thigh highs (which would boost your breedability factor by about 20%). Now let’s assume you are an SJW SOCIALIST LIBTARD, and let’s say I was you, would it not be under these circumstances, the only correct course of action for you to take to ABSOLUTELY WRECK AND DESTROY me (in a debate) in bed?
Charles
John very well said. It’s not about hate for people it’s all about having behavior that you hate shoved in your face or your families face. Someone said they had a gay son earlier well okay. I have a gay nephew but I’m still a Christian and I still know that homosexuality is sin and it’s destroying his life. I love my nephew but I don’t love that which is destroying him. Is that not a more pure love than the kind of false love that pats people on the back and tells them that the sin which will destroy them is perfectly okay? Love rejoices always in the truth it doesn’t lead people further into deception by trying to make them feel okay for the moment. Love plays a much bigger game than that. Love tells the truth. The truth that sets people truly free.
Mike
It’s the first week of school , was there last week and trust me it was not a ghost town
Kathy
That first photo isn’t even Walt Disney World. It’s Disneyland.

I think since God made the LGBTQ peole too, and they are every bit as human as you, yes, YOU are technically supposed to be, then I guess that means they are natural. God made gay people too, and it’s up to God to judge their actions. Stop trying to do God’s job for him. Look at the man in the mirror for once. Or are you a bot set up by Russia and /or the Epstein pedo politicians that Russia supported. Who was it, what ex president was it that used and still uses Epstein customer/ lawyer Alen Dershowitz as a lawyer again? Grooming…. hmmmm interesting you should bring that up. What was that about Matt Gaetz and his enabler buddy desantis again? Was that grooming of teen girls, sex trafficking, or both? People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
Charles
Kelly. God didn’t make LGBTQ people a power called sin did. Sin is not us but it twists and perverts us and if we are not set free through Christ it will destroy us. If you don’t know the story Adam and Eve ate a fruit in Eden and this act of obedience to the devil and disobedience to God brought sin into the world. This one act produced all manner of sin even the sins of Republicans (shock). Scripture clearly in multiple places calls homosexuality a sin therefore it is not judgemental to agree with what God has already said. Homosexuality is not the only sin, there are many more but all of us have equal rights before God, none of us get to go to heaven unless we come through faith in Jesus Christ. This is the cure not only for homosexuality but for all sin. We may never be perfect this side of heaven but at least we will have a relationship with God and that is what we all are in need of. Get the relationship with God first and everything else will start to come into line kind of automatically. Not saying you won’t have to do anything but it will be much easier with God in the right place inside of you.

Why does it have to be about politics? That’s not the issue here. A lot of people probably aren’t going because of school, college, or it’s simply too expensive. Not everything needs to be political.
Jersey Prophet
It’s not that Disney is too expensive. The biden regime with it’s double digit inflation has trashed Americans’ bank accounts while Disney has elevated grooming and woke-ism to an art form designed to groom little children. He has made people TOO POOR and TOO OFFENDED to patronize Disney
No, your excuses are shilling for a corrupt, evil, UN-ELECTED regime.
Rose
It’s always quiet the last week of august. I used to take my kids to the parents this week. A majority of children are back to school.
Gary
I totally agree with you the last 5 years it’s gone down hill bad no magic there anymore more
Mike G
Sure wish Disneyland looked like this
Stace
I was there today and it definitely wasn’t a ghost town. It was a lot of people there even for the Halloween party thing.
Lynn
Price is way too high for people with a family to attend for one thing. Also trying to teach gender identity to our children is not your right or job! Changing the park and removing some things re: Song of The South and other attractions just to appease one race. I’m sorry it has been okay up to present. You are a fun thing/vacation for families. Stop lowering yourself to low standards. Your p as to was not about gender reassigning or racism. Walt Disney himself would be appalled at the way his park is run. You promote racism and hatred. People were accepting of others before the change now everyone is arguing.
Cynthiauible bryson
No we were ust there at Disney world lots of people were at Animal Kingdom
Angel
This article is not completely true. Stop spreading lies. The parks are still busy. Have daily pictures sent to me daily that there are still lines.
Jonathan
Look at the shadows, this is very early in the morning. Nice try attempting to make you article real.
Dee
That’s funny I was just at Universal Studios and the park was PACKED. I wonder what happened to Disney?
Robi
Just maybe…
Go woke
Go broke
kicking in
Patricia Cruz
I think going down on pricing.
Heck gift shop and food is a lot all ready ALL KIDS SHOULD experience the EXCITEMENT 🙂
Glenn
Go woke, Go Broke. Welcome to reality Disney!!
Jenkins
We visit Walt Disney World in Orlando about every 4-5 years. We follow online bloggers who report on changes at the parks and resorts. These Internet bloggers help to inform us of all new policies, new merchandise, best foods, and fun activities.
We are currently planning a trip for 2023. Our thoughts have been that the crowds have had a surge in the past year or so, due to rescheduled vacations canceled during the park closings in 2020, in addition to the 50th Anniversary Celebrations, and the increased need for families to travel after the pandemic lockdowns.
Crowds are always higher when children are out of school and we try to plan around those times.
We decided to skip out on the 50Th anniversary crowds and wait for the new rides(Rise..resistance, Guardians …Galaxy, Tron, Ratatouille etc.) to be completed 2022.
We have watched as Disney has tried to navigate newer procedures like park reservations (we thought were to manage crowds) , Genie Plus, and Individual Lightning Lanes. It has been very confusing, expensive, and if not properly planned and executed, could waste both time and money and make for a very disappointing family vacation.
We continue to watch as the quirks are being worked out.
I believe that people having to spend all their time in the parks watching their phones, attempting to get that special Genie Plus reservation or lightning lane pass to avoid the long waits is simply, Ironic. This ruins the experience of being present in the parks and focused on your family.
It is understandable that Disney’s profits fell during the lockdown. It seemed like Disney balanced those losses by delaying construction projects, the unfortunate release or furloughing employees and other. I understand that it costs Disney a lot to function safely, and efficiently. However, I think that the company’s need for quick recovery profit
(Greed) is making it difficult for average families to plan or afford. This is where the “Magic”, what Disney use to encompass, is coming to an end. It doesn’t feel the same.
We are still planning our trip. We are hoping for lower crowds in order to make our trip more enjoyable.
We are fortunate enough to manage both the complicated reservation and expensive ticketing system.
We hope to experience a little bit of the “Magic” that won us over more than 40 years ago.
Furthermore, so many of you are just spouting your personal political ideologies, and not capable of responding to the question. Your hate is not helpful.
We have always supported Disney’s political attempts at full inclusion. I have never felt that their kindness and humanity, has negatively impacted my family.
Florida’s (Governor) decision to eliminate the Reedy Creek jurisdiction and have the state absorbed its costs and taxes could be a benefit for visitors of the area, and not for residents of the area. This may also be affecting the crowds at Disney.
Dan Mikeska
Not surprised. Look at the outrageous prices they want to go into the park. Plus you get nickel dimed to death before you even enter the park. I mean you pay for parking after paying well over a thousand dollars for tickets. Disney has lost its magic.
JJ
Attendance is down due to schools returning to class, price increases are another reason families can’t enjoy more of the Magic and also they have too many MNSSHP nights at the Magic Kingdom during the week so families are choosing to go to other parks. Tickets are too expensive to waste a day on half day park since they force you to leave early on those party nights. Halloween party should not be in August much less four nights per week!
Kevin
It’s probably one of the last down times WDW has is late August and early September… This ISN’T news!! With school back in session for most of the country, and vacations just about over with most people getting back to work, it’s always usually pretty quiet and crowds a LOT less than past few months. I’ve been down there a bunch of times over the years at this time and it’s a great time to go to avoid the crowds!
Abby
We said this all day Monday. Able to walk on most everything. The hours before the mnsshp were the same. Even the party seems quiet. It was so nice compared to
The last several times we have been!
Antonio Zambrano
There is no reason to go there, it is clear to us that Disney don’t like poor people, with those prices been so high, a father of 4 with an average income it is extremely difficult to pay those admission tickets
Jane
This is and has always been the low time for Disney. When my daughter was young we went this week every year due to low crowds, prices, and wait times. It is the best time to visit!!!
Dave
Outside the rhetoric I work in the local hotel industry it’s slowed down at all hotels by half at least on Monday through Friday arrivals
I know some wish to claim victory in their fight over some issue they created and actually has no real affect on everyday people but those people will always exist
Disney is and always will be a destination for many and Disney will survive
LockTrumpUp
Paychek has killed attendance. The magic is gone. The tragic is here. RIP Walt.
Chris Blaylock
Anyone who doesn’t support LGBQT, is a narrow minded moron who has missed out on the meaning of the word humanity. Insulting someone by comparing them to an autistic person is also a sign of bigotry and shows a lack of understanding. Of course Disney will slow down once school has opened back up. But if their numbers have dwindled also because of people who don’t support their views, I say let those morons go. More park for me.
Peter
NEVER going to Disney again and all merchandise and media is off my purchase and viewing list. Current management has destroyed Walt’s dreams. Hope they go bankrupt.
Jobe F
Wow, these comments are dysfunctional.
Scott
The article was about crowd size, not politics. How did everyone get so far off topic?
Neil Haslam
After reading the comments and articles about how empty Magic Kingdom is, in my opinion is that it’s about money and not the enjoyment of the place. I have been going since my daughter was 2 yrs old and it’s changed but not for the better as now they are charging for car parking at their hotels as the hotels are not cheap it’s added cost along with genie + this adds to extras which puts pressure on sales at the park especially if on fixed budget. I think that the management needs to rethink their strategy on what is required to make it the happiest place in world again in which Walt Disney wanted.
The other areas of the Disney Corporation such as Disney+, marvel and sports channels appear to be profitable and there annual turn over in profits seems to be healthy, because they are in danger of pricing themselves out of the market which would be a big disappointment too all.
Renee
I was just there and it was packed.
Paul W
Making a note of this purely so I know when to make my next booking. Ignoring all other comments.
Ric
This a totally false assertion. I visited Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom and Epcot Saturday. The lines were long and the people were plentiful. This article must have been written by one of those north Florida bigots with red rust around their neck attempting to dissuade visitors. How sad.
Tom
Did you read the article? It doesn’t say anything about Saturday. It addresses only Monday 8/30. You shouldn’t be so idignant when you’re the one who doesn’t know the difference between “today” and “two days ago”.
Julie
I love reading articles like this (every single one on this subject i have opened so far) when “journalists”, perhaps deliberatly , avoid tackling the obvious, or even MENTIONING it!! That more families than they can possibly know have decided to pull their support from a place thats so agenda focused and virtue signaling.
Just entertain the kids, make your billions…. and let PARENTS be the parents to their own kids!!!
We will never bring our kids to another disney park again….(makes me sad because it was such a huge part of my own upbringing)
Someone needs to get some actual STONES and write an article about THAT….but, you wont.
Jean
Stop taking pictures at opening to try and push your narrative. The parks are far from empty
Tonya
We were just there last week and it was very busy. Longer lines for rides and the Halloween party was sold out and crazy busy. We refuse to do genie plus
Typical
Unfortunately you went the last kids are still out of school when families have a last “hoo rah” Yo beat the crowds, go last week of August when school is back in more most, or middle of September.
John Doe
Looks a lot like how Disney world was back on Sept 13-21 2001.
Typical
Some of y’all in the comments are acting like some political force or pricing is to blame. I was there last year this week, it was the same. It’s always like this last week of August. Especially MK on a Halloween party day. Folks don’t want to waste a ticket when they have to leave early, or are going to the party that night. Just as the article says. I checked the app yesterday and crowds picked up by the afternoon. WDW will slowly pick up in general by the end of September, and then holiday crowds. Just like always.
MEP
If Disney continues to raise prices and take more away,it’s no wonder,the parks are empty. A place that is supposed to be the happiest place on earth is fartoo expensive . How is a family supposed to pay the HUGE entry fees and then souvenirs, and astronomical food prices? Disney needs to realize the higher the entry fee food prices,ect,the less the guests will come.
Joanna
As a 10th generation Floridian, Disney has been a part of my family’s lifestyle. I used to take my child there at least once a month. However, not only has access to dining become difficult, but the rides are incredibly long waits but incredibly short, from deleting “PC” scenes that really are just a part of history (i.e., Pirates of Caribbean). Several staff experiences has also become flippant & rude. My family & I felt like cattle & Disney was just for the money out of our pockets. The magic has gone. I only miss the Haunted Mansion. And as a HM collector, the souvenirs/gifts have become cheap yet still expensive. Very sad.
Tom Peters
Good we’ll be down in October. Keep it quiet.
Steve
Personally, we canceled a planned trip to Disney do to their political activities. Disney will not get another dollar from me
Justin
That’s because Disney is more about making profit then making customers happy. Disney prices have gotten out of control..
Leesa
While I agreed with smokers being pushed off to designated areas making the park a smoke free property has to be hitting their pockets. Being a smoker and yes I realize it is a disgusting habit but my choice.. I would go off to the area smoke and come back. A few nonsmokers would wander in and make faces of disgust but it is clearly posted so get out. It is funny how quick people are to attack smokers but let’s see what happens when they take away beer or wine.
The Natives
People not coming to Florida? Especially Disney? How exactly is this a bad thing? We’d be in better shape if the groomers left too!
Shai
Well folks with kids know why 😁
SCHOOL HAS STARTED
Nunya Business
Not True. I was there on Friday and Saturday and it was a mad-house as usual.
Tom
The article wasn’t about Friday and Saturday. The article is accurate. They even give specific wait times. Your conflation of the weekend with a weekday that has shortened operating hours is the source of your confusion.
Kelly
When I lived in Florida we would always visit in September. Back to school and height of hurricane season always kept families and tourists away. Was my favorite time to go. No Lines!
Steven A
Covid 19 rebound is over! Locals are staying away from Disney because of their involvement in politics. Lost over $30,000 of business from one of my companies alone. Not a affordable family park and elimination of annual passes is a nail in a coffin for most people. Corporate greed in the wrong direction will keep attendance down for a long time. Yes summer will always be busy, but as the economy tanks so will Disney. The Federal Reserve made sure of that the other day. Good luck everyone as this economy is going to crash harder than Covid19 shutdown!
Winona
The EXTREMELY HIGH COST of tickets could also be the reason. “Regular people” who aren’t rich can’t afford to go anymore!
Dave mel
Disney has gotten way too demanding and way too overpriced I hope they choke on their profit they made in the past . very few can’t afford to go there anymore you need to take out an equity loan just to go on vacation there or because of greedy executives I’ve been going there for 25 years and I’m done we will be going to Universal from here on and we’re prices are reasonable And affordable
David M
Our trip in Feb 2022 was over 8k for 2 people, plane, tickets and hotel. And this was not high end hotels and we used Southwest for cheaper flight.
Our last trip to WDW, maybe try Disneyland, off season and stay off site. The Californian is now $900 for 1 night stay. And the hotel has been there for years, seems like the building is paid for by now.
Ejk
Besides wokeness, Disney lost its innovation. Most of the good attractions are still from the 70’s. Elon, I think it’s time to buy out Woke Disney World.
Mike
Disney went woke. Those folks that had plans continued them. But now they are paying the price. I suspect Disney will suffer long term. We cancelled out trip due to the “wokeness”
David A
The comments on this post are not appropriate for the lack of crowds.
Hopefully, this will continue, the amount of people visiting Disney parks will drop, and the CEO Chapek, will be released from Duties, and get a real CEO who cares, and Believes in the Magic that Walt Disney created.
The crowds, with people saying school is back is not the answer, we were there in February, school was in session and the Parks were packed with people and children.
MV
And you!
David M
Time to remove Chapek and bring back the magic and Disney folks.
Mason
I can think of a few good reasons. 1. School is starting 2. Disney’s wokeness
Kelly Jarvis
The ignorance of right wingnuts knows no bounds. Alter your travel plans due to Disney wokeness? Really? The only folks being “groomed” are you guys, by Fox or Newsmax or whatever. All the better; I don’t want to wait in lines full of lowbrow yokels and religious nuts anyway.
MV
And you!
Jeff
I went to Disney for the first time last year. There were some cool things there. However, I was not too impressed. Disney has lost its magic and with its wokeness it is not helping. Walt would is probably turning over in his grave. Bye Disney, you were great at one time.
Robin
I am a DVC member, and like to go every 12-18 months. But the last time I was there, I was so frustrated by the Genie app, the lightning whatever app, paying extra for fast passes, having to play the early morning reservation game, the long lines, etc…. that I don’t know when I will go back to the parks. At $140 for a ticket, I feel like I should be able to ride every ride at least once. Not pay $140 and play the lottery to see if I CAN ride the ride. And not $140 to be on my phone all day trying to manage my day. It’s not fun, it’s not magical.
Tony from Virginia
Historically the month of September and the first week of December are the slowest times for Disney. My parents always went in September. I when with them a few times for family reunions but I liked the first week in December because the parks were decorated. Maybe this was not true the last couple of years because of covid but this is a more normal time now. The think the people that are saying that this is the end of Disney are jumping the gun. If the crowds are still down in mid October then Disney has a problem
Sharon Savitski
This is not like Disney to be this empty. I have been going to Disney since I was a kid. Now that I’m older I have slowed down. The only thing I can think of is the prices?
Susu
Not true. I work at Mk. I worked this day. These pics were taken at park opening, of course it looks empty. By 1030 am it was busy as usual. Stop believing these bloggers.

Marvin you must know about groomers because you probably are one. Projection is what you all are!!!

Disney ought to vacate the Magic Kingdom. I’m surevthat there are a lot of other states that would be delighted to be the new home.

I went to that park when I was a kid. I wanted to bring my grandkids but their political stance will keep me from doing so. They made their bed……

Well at 7:20 August 31st 2022 on a rainy overcast day, wait times are 25 for pirates 45 for haunted and 75 for Peter pan. Dwarf is closed. So I guess day & time.

Has any executive team more thoroughly destroyed a brand as has the present Disney senior team? Were I still a shareholder, I would be demanding heads on pikes for the absolute plummet in share value.
This hapless, clowncar of “leadership” can’t seem to do anything right.
What an embarrassing, laughable disgrace…
Rochelle
I’ve read that Disney was trafficking children. I would never bring my children there.
Tom james
This is what happens when you promote the gay lifestyle. In addition, Disney discriminates against white workers and only hires minorities.
Ed
We’ve gone as a family every year since 2013, and our last visit in February of 2020 before Covid shutdowns.
Now that Disney caters to and prefers non-Christian, ultra liberal values and cultures, they’ve lost our annual $10k spending.
We’ll never go back.
Jamie
I believe that it’s about time. Disney is no good. Children should NOT BE EXPOSED TO ALL THE GAY, LGBT CRAP! Plus it robbery what they charge. I love this!
Shut the doors for the old pedophile that got rich off all us normal folks! Yay
DisneySucks
Who gives a crap? I’m so tired of being told we’re supposed to care about corporations and their profits. Disney’s “magic” has been robbing families blind since the 70s and I for one wouldn’t care if it disappeared off the map forever.
Ozymandias
It’s just an ad from Disney trying to trick people into thinking there’s no lines or crowds
Gary
We have been going to Disney World for over 20 years. Since Cheapak took over the ceo Job the park has been on a slippery slope downwards. Lineups are long, food and beverage expensive and many favorite attractions have been canceled or delayed. Standing in line with small children for 2 hrs plus is no picnic. Spokento many standing in line and thay all overwhelming said this would be there last visit. Pre Chepak you used to be able to go to the parks with 3 fast passes see a few shows and then have dinner and drinks afterwards. It’s very evident Chepak is only focused on the bottom line not the experience. Hard to believe that the board extended his stay another 3 years. Prediction – after the post pandemic visitors are exhausted the parks will be vacant. Typical corporate wall street BS.
We have been annual pass holders for over 20 years this will be our last year. I believe Chepak stated he could care less about annual pass holders. Next year he will be begging all of us to return guaranteed!!

Disney has acquired the reputation/ image as anti-family, anti-innocent childhood pleasure. Just look at the ad placement. No family SUV; no breakfast cereal ad.
Ads are anti-family, don’t have babies; legalize killing the babies, and worse. Hi he image is the modern day whorehouse. And the advertisers know it.

Me and my family was just there Aug 27 and 28. And by no means was it a ghost town. People were EVERYWHERE!!!!!!! We couldn’t even walk in a straight line. So I am not sure about those pics. We were in Magic Kingdom from 10am to close. Then on Sunday we were at animal kingdom from 930 to close. It rained both days but we had fun.

It’s so expensive families can’t afford the prices.

Might have a few more people there if you let locals actually go to the danm park as we please! The park reservation system needs to be dismantled and forgotten!
VALERIE
Apparently everyone but the writer of this article knows this is about Disney’s LGBTQ agenda that spits in the face of family values.
“GO WOKE, GO BROKE” is real Disney. Wake up and smell the coffee…
Eric
The heat index has also been hovering above 100 for weeks now. Frankly, you’d almost have to be insane to go to the parks before sundown!
MK
Our family of 300+ from across the country gets together at Disney nearly all years – but had to pass on it for now – just way too woke for us.
Chris
I agree with some here – Disney woke agenda combined with staggering prices are keeping people away. Happening in the stock market too.
Bill
Holy cow. I didn’t realize how you could literally draw the correlation between Disney being slow at non peak times to gay rights. Lmao. You truly are some special folks.
They totally don’t promote treating everyone as an equal as the right does. I mean, Jan 6, voting paranoia, critical race theory paranoia, immigrant paranoia, gay paranoia, what’s not to like. Both sides of the aisle at the extreme ends are crazy special people. Awesome how people try to act like your sides better. While those of us who are just normal folks are looking at you both like 🤓😳🤔🔥💩.
The problem with Disney isn’t with gay rights etc, it’s MONEY. It’s flipping very expensive. I can go to Destin, Myrtle Beach, Gatlinburg, you name it, cheaper than Disney. Hawaii is about the only one comparable in price. So you very few knuckleheads who don’t go because you got your feelings hurt and are boycotting, good luck. Go team Merica🤓. Common sense tells ya most of us aren’t going because we cannot afford it, it’s hard to justify that cost when so many other places are cheaper.
That and I gotta donate to Trumps next legal defense team(sarcasm).
Matthew Dixon
It’s not rocket science lol .. School started back up this week and the summer is over .. Obviously going to be a down time .. It’ll pick back up for all the holiday breaks and vacations etc.
Lorrane
School has nothing to do with it. I use to see the packed with kids all year round. Biden recession and wokeness caused people not to spend money there
H
This is nothing but a bunch of bs. I just spent 8 days in Disneyworld with 24 family members and all the parks were filled with people. Most rides had at least a 30 minute wait. You still had to ask people to move out of your way, you still needed reservations for sit down meals and there was still a wait for quick service. Stop with the bs that Disneyworld is a ghost town, it is not the truth.
Gster
Who wants to attend a once great theme park that now caters to pervs, groomers, LBGTQ+ insanity, trans nonsense?
They can’t tell you what a mother, a women is but they can tell you what a furbie is.
Let them wallow in ‘their’ diversity, equity, and perversion.
Walt … look what they did to your park. M
They RUINED it!!!
Lorrane
Exactly right! There was recently a bust by police there.

They went woke and also Biden’s recession. Bidenflation has caused people not to afford the ridiculous prices to go.
Warren
Go woke go broke. I will never give Disney another dime. It’s sad to see their transformation from something I watched and loved as a child to what it has become today
Matt
And the one thing the article does not touch of course is the white elephant in the room: one reason attendance may be down or maybe more of a ghost town is of course #GoWokeGoBroke.
Disney could not help themselves when it came to jumping into politics. Your guests are on both sides of the political aisle and have differing opinions on social issues. When you cater to a whiny fringe group, you run the risk of alienating half of your audience and driving them away. They speak with their wallets. Before they jumped into taking a side, someone should have been wise enough to ask themselves this question: “if we piss off half our base to placate a fringe group, is that fringe group – the alphabet community – going to make up the difference in business we risk to lose by taking sides?”.
Obviously, Disney is getting their answer. And it serves them right. Disney would have never wanted the company to get involved in politics. He understood. I don’t think he would like what his company has become.
Gail
Definantly since Walt Disney is promoting the LBQT. People will not tolerate. We could not wait until our little one was big enough Niw he is big enough but we are NoT ever going because of Disneys idea to change midstream and promote the gay community
Joe M.
Nobody is going to bring their kids to a place that denies gender.
Paul Benicky
It’s simple. Walt Disney must be screaming from the grave over the new Woke culture that’s invaded his dream parks. It’s not about Mickey & His friends anymore. It’s about transgenderism and other ungodly lifestyles. Disney will never get another penny from me.
Avery hogan
Exactly exactly people are tired of being told what to do by Disney what’s right what’s wrong there’s more than two genders and pushing their LBGTQ s***I don’t care if you’re straight gay want to hang out with fish just don’t push it in my face live your life in Disney tried to push their rights by pushing the bill that allowed third graders and down to learn about transgenderism they reap what they sell
Anna
They have out priced the average family. It’s just gotten too expensive
Eric
Lets be real. Disney has priced themselves so high most families cannot afford to go. 200 each plus parking plus 10$ hotdogs. It all adds up to make most families rethink a visit. There are many venues to visit in florida and most are less than half the cost.
Chuck pietra
Go Woke. Go Broke.
Rob
It’s the high cost of Disney that keeps me away. The other issues just add to the fray. Is the magic lost? Yep. Replaced with greed and social manipulation. Sad
Robyn
I honestly stopped reading all the comments. I will say that I live in Florida, as a child, we would go and camp at Ft. Wilderness about once a month. Disney was magical to me. Now, my kids are adults so the school season is not stopping me. I don’t go because I can’t afford it. It’s not just the tickets but the drive, parking, and food. I go to places like st. Augustine or cocoa beach. Way cheaper and just as fun.
I would like to address one other topic. It shouldn’t matter if you are rich or poor, male or female, young or old, who you sleep with or don’t. I am a Christian and in the Bible, which I do live my life by, it says “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God and everyone who love is born of God, he who does not love is not born of God.” So, this love is not romantic love. It is non judgemental, kind, caring, doing into others as you would have them do for you. As a true Christian, I am commanded to not judge but to love. So, whether or not I agree with someones lifestyle is not an issue. We have in our power to change laws, to home school, to send our children to private schools, how about talking to your children about why you believe the way you do? So my point is, please separate true Christians from those who say they are but don’t live that way. It’s like saying all movies are bad because you don’t like some. You can identify a true Christian by how they show love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and self control. As a Christian, my desire is that others come to know God the way I do because I believe that by accepting Jesus’s death as payment for my sins, I can live in Heaven after I die. If you choose to not listen and agree, it doesn’t change the fact that I am still supposed to treat you with respect.
Ok. Have a great day everyone.
Jack
I think it’s mostly the outrageous prices they charge and that keep increasing. I also think it’s got to do with their social and political choices.

Don’t believe this! I’m in several FB groups and see nothing about the ridiculous lines and customer service! People should stop going to Disney since they have not returned back to pre-COVID times. Instead they have removed almost everything that made a visit magical and have increased prices on top of it!
Robert
Go woke, go broke! Disney isn’t family friendly anymore.

Oh this article is pure Fantasy from Fantasyland and not the one in Disney.
Was just there over August 26-29. Parks were not ghost towns. Very busy. Lines for the more popular attractions stretched 60-130 minutes.
Lot of guests were resort and they went in 30 minutes early. But area around castle crowded as people waited.
Really hate these so called “reporters” or bloggers who mislead folks.

I hope people are non going to protest the stuff they are doing. Disney used to be about guest experience. Now it’s all about profits. I took my family in January. We hadn’t been since 2015. No more dining plans, and no more magic shuttle. That used to be one of the best parts, Disney shuttle picks you up at the airport, plays Disney movies on the TVs to get you excited, drops you off at your Disney resort free of charge. Now you book your own transportation. Back then, you got magic bands included in your resort package. Now you pay anywhere from $15-45 for one. We ate dinner in Cinderella’s castle one night. It cost almost $300 for a group of five. The food was awful. My wife and I ended up getting food from a vendor after. I just wish they’d focus more on the guest experience. Profits will be there. Bring back the magic!
Tammy
I believe the trouble lies in the fact that it was magical before Disney decided to become the poster child for LGBTQ+. Families are what made Disney great. They are tired of Disney changing their cute movies into a political statements. Disney isnt the same place anymore because of their ideologies. Maybe they will get the message that this is not what the majority of people want. Hopefully, they will understand this, before they truly become a permanent ghost town
Michael Demma
Disney is dying because of its family unfriendly atmosphere and promotion of the gay life style. Dozens of friends have stated they will no longer return. Grandparents will seek other venues to spend time with family.
C
Did u know that there will be people out there stewing ver someone else’s comments on here because they are “offended” and waste probably and hour thinking about it? That’s an hour of life gone. You choose to be offended by someone’s comments. Move on people.
Angel Mattingly
The changes have affected us staying there with our family. They no longer have the Magic Express to and from the airport. You have to pay to park. No more meal plans, which made it easier to budget. Very disappointed with Disney World. We will be taking our family to Universal this fall.
Steve Gordon
I am from England and have visited Disney World in Florida 5 times with my wife and daughter between 2004 (when our daughter was 4 years old) and about 2015. We have visited 4 times in late August and once at Christmas and have loved every visit. We would love to go back but the cost for us in the UK is now extortionate. Leaving aside the ever increasing cost of park tickets and food it now costs about £1,000 each for a return flight from London to Orlando. Also the pound sterling has plummeted in value against the US dollar. Earlier this year the exchange rate was about 1.40 dollars to the pound, now it is around 1.18 (when we first visited in 2004 the exchange rate was about 1.95). All of this plus the current economic crisis will mean that far less people from the UK will be able to afford to visit the U.S.A. in the future.

Disney thinks they can get political without impunity. Stay out of politics!! Also, they think they can raise prices without any backlash! It’s way to expensive now and normal people can’t go! They already took an arm, now they want both legs also!:(((

Walt said he wanted a theme park for ALL families and one affordable for all.
In the end HE GOT NEITHER!
Dustin
The agenda they have promoted is not what parents want their children exposed to. Make they should have kept their morals and maybe they wouldn’t be losing attendance. I went to the Magic Kingdom in late September 2012 and the crowds were insane. So to say that schools in is why they don’t have guests is a farce.
Mary
The powerful Chairman of Disney’s Board of Directors Susan Arnold is openly a lesbian. Could she have been working with others to use Disney, which has access to huge numbers of children, to groom children for LGBTQ?
Roger
I bet Disneys “WOKE” NOW!
KEEP UP WITH THAT SOCIALIST, LIBERAL CRAP AND NO ONE WILL GO TO YOUR THEME PARK!
Gotta go now were all going to UNIVERSAL!
Mike
Anyone who believes this is a fool. Disney was PACKED just last week at magic kingdom (believe me, I know cause I had to wait 60+ minutes for every ride)
It’s all a ploy to try to get you there thinking it’s slow and would be a better visit.
T
I think the price has a lot to do with it. Then you have the time shares that can give you discount tickets but you have to spend time to be with them and if you don’t buy them are hustling you, they harass you. They give the tickets but you see how their faces change when you don’t buy. The parks are getting obsolete, I prefer Epcot to Disney. I respect people and their choices in sexuality, that is their own business not mine, but remember people from other countries might visit and have different views and customs. I think respect is important and so far there is respect regardless of sexual preferences. I do think that Disney should not try to confuse children in certain aspects and the people who visit should focus more on enjoying the park.

I was at the Magic Kingdom yesterday and it was packed. Could get nowhere near the castle for the fireworks display.

No, California is the worst state in the country for a number of reasons. If you do not know what they are, you must be blind. More people leaving California than any other state. People are rushing to Florida, where I live. California should be its own country and leave the rest of the country alone. We will all be better off.

Maybe Disney should take responsibility on their political policies. I have Owned stock for 30 years and was there prior to Disney opening in Anaheim in 50’s. It has made me sick where they cannot even mutter “Welcome Boys and Girls”. I had it and sold every share of stock and I know many others including my Stock Manager who are also boycotting Disney and everything connected to it.

Probably because it’s so expensive now, everyone is trying to recover from the last couple years. Doesn’t help Disney has made political agendas either.

You stupid misguided bigot. Maybe it’s because of people like you that guests aren’t coming. I know that’s my reason.
Jamie
As fun as these comments are, can we please go back to the days when “sticks and stones” was the end all of the name calling and butt hurt epidemic? Disney’s low numbers are the result of the fact we’ve had to get a co-signer to fill our gas tanks for the past 8 months, let me just put this here, 🙄 DUH! It has nothing to do with where you put your d!$&, hell, put it in the trash or sew it to your forehead(how tall must you be to ride that ride?), LGBLMNOP has nothing to do with the low numbers, people are having to pick and choose more carefully, where they go, what they do, etc. but I should mention this, the whole bathroom thing scares me a little, it’s bad enough I made my son go in the ladies public restroom with me til he was almost as tall as me but now we’ve got people using the bathroom of their choice, depending on the direction the wind is blowing their walla walla bing bang.

So My wife and I were there two weeks ago for a weeks vacation. I noticed out of all the parks magic kingdom had less people. Later that day the park filled up. Epcot & Disney Hollywood studios was packed with people

Go woke, go broke… The public has spoken. I had the choice of Disney World Orlando or Universal Studios last March. We purposely boycotted Disney World. They have lost the mission that Walt envisioned and have become a shill for the radical Left/Woke minority.

You are exactly right. My family no longer supports anything Disney. Cancelled my Disney Channel and no longer purchase Disney toys. Disney made their choice and now I along with some many others have made our choices not to support!! Sad, but must take a stand!!!
Marie
Until you get the demonic unGodly stuff out of Disney I won’t set foot in it even if everything was free.
J Edwards
Perhaps a great deal of tourism in Florida has diminished due to the Florida Governors attitudes toward anyone who doesn’t agree with his ideas of a perfect world. If he had his way he would stir up visions of a WW2 climate where death camps existed again for those who don’t fit his ideal of Normal.
Minnie
No Imran – you are wrong. I took my children every year for 10 years to Disney World for at least 7-10 days ending on Labor Day weekend. Not all schools are in session right now – believe it or not, some schools start after Labor Day…….Every year the parks were PACKED with families who had the same idea. Families are boycotting Disney now because it no longer lines up with who started the whole thing – Disney has nothing to do with Walt Disney and his family values. Disney has no business putting down parents (who shell out the thousands of dollars for vacations of a lifetime), who agree that Disney employees should not have anything to do with sexual grooming of tiny children – Disney is a PEDOPHILE company – and the writer of this article lives in a fantasy world – he just can’t imagine why families don’t want to go to GROOMER WORLD. Also – Mike, are you surprised that Salle would resort to nasty name calling – I have an autistic child too, Salle – but why would I be surprised that a pedophile would make fun of autism? These are the kinds of people who patronize Disney now – good luck with that Disney 🙂

Sounds like youre describing Biden and his puppet masters.

Think of it like this: let’s say u own Bitcoin and it becomes completely worthless, that’s NOT entirely bad news as you can still be gay. No one can take that away from you no matter how low Bitcoin goes….so cheer up! Enjoy tinkerdck and educate us all in the matters of being racist, homo homogenous males,and….and … I forgot where I was….oh yeah “Bitcoin”….yes u can still pay with Bitcoin there. This is the biggest jerkclod I have ever seen. Looking back on swiss family Robinson….the dead actors are probably rolling in their graves. Oddly enough…it’s working it’s “majic” and anyone other than a radical Democrat will be seen as evil. Even independents can be questioned as possible evil doers. May there be a power that will strike down this demon possessed enterprise and restore my natural word…GOD.

Hey so sad to see what’s happening to Disney Land,,
Maybe they should have stayed away from all the Crap 💩 that’s going on in our country! Disney should have stayed Disney the Happiest Place on Earth and now Woke and the LGBTQIA’s 💩 Now Disney is paying for it !!! Oh well next time promote to the Innocent 😇 Children and even Adults that just want to go to Disney and have a Great time with all the Characters and the rides and the Beautiful Fireworks 💥 and stay the hell out of Media and concentrate on Disney Land !!!!!

Like other commenters, pretty sure their woke policies are keeping people away in droves. Let’s keep that a secret from the media!

LGBTQ woke. And most overpriced rip off park in world

Disney’s Chairwoman Susan Arnold is openly lesbian. Could she be using family-oriented Disney to groom children for LGBTQ? If so, then people need to speak up to stop this abuse of children.
Sean McManus
Groomers…pure & simple.Not another dime.

We will not go to Disney because of their stance on many social issues – abortion, pushing LGBTQ agenda, woke to mention a few.
LEEANN WRIGHT
I suspect the prices of a Disney World vacation/trip to be a huge hindrance for folks. It’s almost criminal!

No one is attending because they have turned a GREAT theme park into a place to try to indoctrinate your kids into questioning their gender and wanting you to change it
BT
People are sick and tired of the Disney “wokeness”.
Amy G
I don’t know why they’re making a big deal about this. With kids all back in school & not in on-line
learning & adults heading back to work it’s just a slow time. When my family visited Walt Disney World a long time ago in the 1970’s, we went in mid Sept. and it was great! We had beautiful weather, it wasn’t crowded and there were no lines! They told us it was their OFF SEASON! So, I think things are just going back to how they should be!
Dad
Not true Amy. I had season passes and Magic kingdom was always packed every weekend. Disney has lost their vision what it made a great place to visit. Now other theme parks like Dollywood are moving forward. (Dollywood was packed this weekend) kids back to school slow down? Not. Myth.
Kat
I have friends that had a trip planned for Disney World & got their money back from the travel agent because of the GLBTQ agenda! I’ve been to Disney World a few times in the past but I won’t go now because of the same thing!!!
Robert
I started planning a trip 6 months ago for my family, and when the lies about the parental protection act were pushed by Disney CEO’s as the dont say gay bill I backed out and now we are planning somthing else.
If they want to be political and push lies I’m good on that…
J. Biden
Yeah, I just keep myself, my kids, & my nephew’s away from very expensive communist pedophile parks, thank you. I don’t any surprise gays night out with nearly naked men running around, & I don’t need to waste so much money to one day see a bevi of Drag queens dragging themselves around my kids & expecting tips in their crotches or dirty butt cracks by kids. Life is already too difficult to allow that bizarreness in their lives.
Reggie Dunlop
I know of many parents who are boycotting Disney due to their “not so secret agenda” (their words, not mine) of pushing LGBQT doctrine on young children. Once upon a time Disney was synonymous with “wholesome family values”. Those days are long gone and parents are shielding their children from Disney and its groomer enabling culture.
Hunter Biden
Disney went from kid friendly to a perverts paradise very quickly. Maybe next year they’ll hire members of the CCP to endocrinate kids into loving Communism. Oh wait, Disney already has the CCP dictating what their movie scripts should be like. Too late. Now there’s nothing good about that overpriced child perversion mill. Seems like Michael Jackson may have something to do with changes. After all, he did love drugging kids with Jesus juice

Um, did you follow up with the poster 5 minutes later? I’m there this week and it is anything but a ghost town. Is it spring break crowded? No. But it’s also no longer summer, kids are back in school in both the south and northeast, and it feels like 100 degrees during the day and thunderstorms every afternoon which I am sure is scaring away the florida annual past members more than their fear of their great grandchildren being molested in schools or whatever they are worried about this week.
Dad
Magic kingdom was always packed year round. I had season passes and would go there every weekend.. So that’s BS. You fail to see the true problem is Disney’s choices to push agendas down parents throats that the majority of their customers do not agree with. They have always been left, but quiet. The louder the changes to swing left while leaving out the wholesome families and children is Disney’s downfall. Dollywood is gaining momentum because she is staying true to what make theme parks great. Family, tradition and innocent children.

The fascination with perverting and grooming children with (not so secret) gender agendas has spurred parents on to finally wake up to the sleeping threat Disney World has been all along.

Exactly. Go Woke, go broke.
Sgt jmack
So, everything the author said about reasons for low attendance and ticket sales happened ever year before, and there were still huge crowds this time during those years. But there’s a major difference this year and that is the wokeness of Disney, coupled with unreasonably high ticket prices, food prices and hotel rates. Go Woke, go broke. On top of that, we are experiencing extreme inflation due to Biden and the Democrats mishandling of our money and their unruly spending sprees as well as higher fuel, food, rent/mortgage and car payments. So sad to see how this once great company has fallen so far, so fast.
Grayson
Sounds to me like a marketing ploy
Donna Van Cleef
Disney lost me with the decision to cancel Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow‼️ AND your whole ‘Reservation’ program is much too complicated and totally sucks!
Dad
The new Disney CEO has pushed agendas that the majority of the general attending population does not want, nor agree with. I been a Disney fan and attended the parks since I was 3 years old. I am 47 now. Disney’s gay day is disgusting, I was a season pass holder and I could not enjoy the magic of the theme since gays were waving pride flags in my face and being disruptive. Disney is not magical innocence for children anymore. Just a grooming playground agenda for the left as they jack prices so high that regular income hard working parents can no longer justify the expense to let their children be corrupted by such origination that no longer defends a child’s innocence.
Henry Paul Rutkowski
Disney’s crowd’s ought to B closer to non-existent , what with the LGBT-Q crowds & them trying to indoctrinate the children ! They have NO BUSINESS trying to do ANYTHING to influence the children to be gay or homosexual ! That entire concept is disgusting & Disney should actually B lucky they had ANY CROWDS AT ALL !! Walt Disney has officially turned over in his coffin !
MJ
Have they considered the reason for the low turn out just might be their crazy obnoxious politics? I know plenty of people who have said they will no longer support Disney World nor Disneyland or anything else that has to do with Disney in general, because Disney no longer Supports family or Christian values. Perhaps they should have stuck to business and kept their nose out of politics. I have to say that I strongly agree!

I think Disney has moved away from family values and is more concerned with being politically correct and that has cost them and not in the long run but a short period of time.

Could be covd , lgbtq disease ,no money, no generations of people because we’ve been murdering them , its prophesied that no man will work. Tribulation is coming. The rapture will happen at an hour we think not. Go to centralbaptistocala.org Ocala, Florida the ghost town has been happening over the last few years…spurts. Lots of people at airport is because of layovers …the older parks are more full because children are no more because of abortion just in my little city 2 elementary schools have closed . no children. Abortion. Gods judgement is coming … WTYGFM.ORG

Absolutely no way that I’d spend a single day or dollar in Southern-Alabama (AKA: Florida).
Concerned
Kids believe in many things: Santa Claus, tooth fairy, Peter Pan …. Some kids even believe they’re dogs, cats, dinosaurs, fish, birds, airplanes …. It’d therefore be super easy to groom kids to believe they are LGBTQ. Is it possible that Disney’s lesbian Chairwoman and her underlings have been deliberately displaying LGBTQ as a norm to indoctrinate gullible kids? If this is true, it would be a very cruel violation of trust, as many kids are too young to understand that LGBTQ would forever deprive them of their reproduction right to have their own kids, not to mention the difficulties and depression resulting from going against your own biology.

It’s no mystery, we being we the people are boycotting Disney because of their business in russia. It’s whats called a silent ban, and it’s communal. If you are doing business then your are fueling war that our taxes are paying. You see, you have to hit the snake at the neck or it will survive.

I was there that week – generally quiet however, Monday in MK was very busy. People know the not so scary party is on – Tuesday and Friday – so go to other parks for the day. We go to MK for rope drop those days as there is nobody there. Can verify wait times all over were very low, many were walk ons including space mountain. With kids back in school and the party that fully explains low crowds. Nothing more to it.
Tammi
We are DVC members from ’04. The Park Reservation System is a vacation disaster, and the pay-for Fast Passes (or Lightning Lanes as they’ve been re-branded) is a backwards-moving slap-in-the-face. My teenagers used to love waking up and picking what we were doing on the fly, based on weather and their moods. Picking and paying for rides at 7AM in a pre-picked park is ridiculous. The magic is gone. WD Parks should go back to the old system. And, assuming everyone has or wants to use a phone, or now NEEDS to for fast-pass availability is a TERRIBLE thing to do to lower-income or 1st-and-Only timers — WD Inc deserves the bad reviews matching bad experiences on that front. WE WERE GOING TO BUY MORE DVC POINTS, BUT NOT NOW. I hope someone that works for DVC and Park Ops is reading this.

It’s not that Disney is too expensive. The biden regime with it’s double digit inflation has trashed Americans’ bank accounts while Disney has elevated grooming and woke-ism to an art form aimed towards little children. He has made people both TOO POOR and TOO OFFENDED to patronize Disney
Go woke and go broke!

You need to calm down. Remember sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me ?People need to re learn that one in a big way.

Agreed! Disney’s overreaching politics has affected their reputation and influence. There is no reason to interject wokeism or any other unrelated political views in their business/marketing plan. Ridiculous! Totally irrelevant to their purpose. I, too, believe people have had enough of politics where politics does not belong.

Funny how the article doesn’t mention anything about Disney’s wokeness. Maybe that has something to do with it. I know I don’t want to go there because of it.
I used to love Disney World when I was younger. It was truly a magical place. Not anymore.

Nothing could make me happier than watching the world leader in monopolistic behavior suffering as a result of their greed. Disney wants to control everything? Control the dust as it settles on your greed.

Disney and universal need to review their pricing , over 27dollars to park your car before you even start , it’s a disgrace, we are in a recession people will vote with their feet and not
go
John
I was just there this weekend. The article is not truthful. Thise pictures were taken at 8:30 am when the parks open. While lines varied per ride. The best rides had lines of over 1 hour wait.
I hit all 4 parks. Genie+ was great for the rides with long lines.
DisneyFan
Another reason not mentioned here? Disney completely stopped selling Annual Passes last fall. They gave no explanation or reason as to why they stopped selling them. Nor have they given anyone a date upon when they might start selling them again. The only pass that’s currently available is the Pixie Pass which is limited to weekdays only & holidays are blocked out.
DisneyFan
When the “Noahide Laws” come to America (and they will – est. Public Law 102-268—APR. 13,1992) you will truly regret having fallen for all the LGBTQ propaganda and will REALLY regret all the hate you speak against God and Christianity….
Disneyfan
One more thing. You can’t possibly be a JEW. That MUDT be a joke. Jews are anti-homosexuality. It’s written in the Torah (first 5 books of the old testament) and guess what? DEATH is a punishment of for those engaging in homosexuality..it goes totally against God’s laws. So who are you trying to fool? I think you’d best find a new religion then…satanism sounds like the only option you have left. Good luck.
Dawn
I think all the changes since covid. It was easy to go into the park. Now there are so many things that are different. To make all the reservations to eat ,to get in to the park. If it wasn’t broke don’t fix it. My husband and I were there at least a hundred times. We won’t be back. Not the same Disney.
kcrowell
My opinion of the low attendance is that Disney messed around with fast pass and annual pass pricing while at the same time declaring war on Ron DeSantis and his policies. He passed a bill that protected parents rights to raise their own children and Disney labelled it as ant-LGBTPlus. I have 7 children and we have had Annual Disney passes for many years. We chose not to renew them this year because Disney chose an anti-family-rights stance! We have many friends in the LGBT community, so I checked out the bill. Disney and others choose to lie about it’s contents. I do have a right as a parent to teach and protect my children. Thank goodness for Governor DeSantis protecting that! Since Disney chose to fight against the rights of their customers base, they are suffering the consequences!
Angie
So not true! I was just there on Saturday and the park had 70 minutes wait for Peter Pan, 60 minutes for space mountain and seven dwarfs. Thunder mountain had 50 minutes except for when it rained Ned and they reopened.

Thank you, bravo and amen. Not to mention the other odd “disappearances”
