Credit: Lee (myfrozenlife), FlickrWalt Disney World Resort is currently somewhat of an oxymoron. There are reports that the Resort, found in Orlando, Central Florida, is currently a ghost town, with Guests few and far between. While, at times, wait times have been high, and even Disney CEO Bob Iger has said attendance is solid. That said, will Guests be tempted by an exciting new Disney World offer?
Navigating a socio-political and cultural battle against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has been taxing for Disney Parks and fans of the Resort in Florida. After several events, Disney and DeSantis are still locked in litigation, with updates almost daily.
While some may have thought that the explosive political landscape in the Sunshine State would put Guests off from traveling to Disney World, Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, Josh D’Amaro stated that the DeSantis drama has not impacted attendance at all.
But on the Fourth of July holiday, that was not the case. Historic low crowds were reported across Disney’s four theme parks, Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and likewise across the way at Universal Orlando Resort. This has been attributed to the soaring heat in Central Florida.

A huge factor for Guests when booking an expensive Disney World vacation is the planning it takes to pull it off successfully and make the most of a trip. From having valid ticket admission as well as a Park Pass reservation, in addition to understanding Disney Genie+, Lightning Lane, and virtual queues, it can take a lot to feel comfortable spending so much to potentially miss out on a lot on offer.
Which is why these Disney Park discounts are so exciting.
