Disney has lost its way due to greed and following any path necessary to make more money. Money is the root of all evil and Disney is caught up in its web. Woke has been good for business until now. I’d rather see Disney fail than to continue on its current course. Where’s the common sense?!
Typical liberal statement. Place accountability where it truly belongs. I’m so sick and tired of people making excuses for poor behavior and skirting responsibility and accountability. Just because DeSantis has implemented laws that some may not agree with does not make him responsible for the actions, or inaction, of another. Disney has made their own bed, now they need to lay in it.
It’s a strange feeling to see the mainstream media telling the world that Disney is defeating DeSantis. My Disney stock portfolio says otherwise. Bob Iger owns too many shares to be fired. Too bad. I wonder if we can sue him for trashing our stock value.
As usual, a conservative is spouting nonsense that has as much grasp on reality as a typical QAnon junkie.
I live in Orange County, and I noticed that there are more families arriving at John Wayne than in previous years. Meaning that people are still going to Disney parks, but the hostility espoused by Meatball Ron (who I assume is your waifu) means that people don’t want to visit Florida. If anything DeSantis is the one that needs to backtrack before he scares away all the tourists
And you asked them all if their going to Disney?
Noo way could it be universal, Hollywood, the beach or a thousand other places every single family is going to Disney that lands in burbank.
Genius you should play little bet u could guess all the numbers by going to lax and seeing all the single people landing.
The fact you live in Orange County says all we need to know about you and the many “families” you claim are flocking to John Wayne.
However, I noticed you so conveniently left out the most important information as to how many people have flocked FROM California to other states and the number of homeless, junkies and level of crime you have throughout your state. If all of that is the result of your almighty know-it-all, woke political party’s brainstorming and hardwork, I’d take “Meatball Ron” any day, and over and over again.
Most states get rid of their governor who helps keep us on the straight and narrow will depend on our guns guns guns more so which state usage do you want govenor or guns
100% agree. I no longer have a desire to spend my hard earned dollars supporting a company that is pushing an agenda I do not support. And I still have three kids living at home that I used to love taking to Disney. Stop PUSHING your “social agendas” and stick to entertainment and perhaps we will return.
SOUNDS TO ME MARIE,LIKE TWO PEAS IN A P[OD . MAYBE YOUR GREATGRANDADDY(WHOD HAVE TO BE OVER A HUNDFRED FIVE YEARS OLD WHEN ,IF YOUR AT LEAST 18.

INCLUDING USA. 007 HE WASNT GOOFY,OR BUGS BUNNY?

Yes it it is way to expensive. They are a greedy, too woke and are not keeping their once upon a time kid and family friendly movies. I am sick of this LGBTQ non sense bull crap. Disney is so greedy and pricey who can afford now in days. This generation LGBT community doesn’t even represent the majority of lgbtq people. They are even over them. The older lgbt is more conservative and not this crazy extreme liberal woke crap they are trying to push. Their Agenda is evil.
Price and insulting customers through nickle and diming along with lack of US innovation is driving attendance down. They saw a spike in attendance after Covid and rolled out unpopular cash grabs (Genie+) for services that were previously free and eliminated most on-site perks (Magic Express). Construction is also obscenely slow in US parks. Tron (a copy cat) coaster took them half a decade to build and Epcot construction has made min progress. Money and priority needs to be directed to US parks.
Disney got away from traditional family values and is pushing bizzare woke culture like in their latest movie Strange World. Disney made it clear they don’t care for conservative customers so we just stayed away. Price was not the main concern.
Don’t know about the parks having low attendance. We were there yesterday with family. Most of the popular rides, Space Mountain, Jungle Cruise, Prirates, Buzz Lightyear, etc were very busy. 60 min+. We got there at 8:50 before the line drop and even then it looked crowded. Maybe with everyone saying the parks are having low attendanc, all the park passholders and employees are coming.
I live 30 minutes from Disney World. I know people who still work there, and previously worked there. Reasons are high ticket prices yes, but the real reasons you won’t hear. Employees and Disney guests both are sick of woke. It is not just the theme parks, but also Disney’s movies, streaming, etc. Everything is political and woke.
About a year ago, a large group of DW employees…who were gay…attempted to speak out about the “woke” culture there and how they disagreed with it and how kids…and adults for that matter…should not be forcibly exposed. They also tried to discuss how the parental rights bill was not a “don’t say gay” bill, and that they basically agreed with the fact that parents should have the right to bring their kids up they way they want. They were silenced by the company and the media.
Pricrs for Disney in Florida are to high. Staying on Disney property is to expensive. And willl not let kids go to Disney die to gay population. I am sorry you feel you need to approve of the LBGT. Disney is no longer a family park. I can take a cruise or go to Europe with food be in clufed.Will. not be vacation in Florida any time soon
Concur Judy.
A pitiful situation in our society.
Disney should have stayed out of these social conflicts and not changed their rides to pacify the loud few who probably won’t / can’t afford to go in the first place.
Disney has waged war on the American family. They’ve chosen to back the blue haired mafia that doesn’t even support them. Have fun alienating the majority of this country to pander to a half of a half of a half of a percent.
Families are done with virtue signaling. Nobody should be treated like they are special because they are pretending to be a girl. Gendering LARPing can’t be taken seriously anymore.
I love Disney just the way it is and I’m proud they’re here in Florida. It’s the awful heat that’s making it miserable but, we’re buying passes and will definitely try the night’s
Imagine you are banned from saying “Ladies and Gentlemen”. That is your modern day Disney dream park. BTW you can say gay all you want, but not Ladies and Gentlemen.
Fully agree that The Disney Corporation and all of it’s theme park systems “have lost touch” with the vision that Walt Disney desired for the public to experience. Todays Disney theme parks are no where near what could and should be as Walt Disney planned for, due to many modern cultural and political effects that is in Disney parks today! Go “Retro” as it was in the beginning and start of Disneyland, to bring back the true family values, plus lowering prices. Get away from politics and “Woke” altogether, or “Go Broke” permanently as people out there will just “Let the Disney Parks due”! Enough said!!

We went this past June and we were disappointed in the fact there were no characters out and about, everything had to be scheduled and the magic just seemed lost. Although my boys enjoyed themselves we expected more especially for the prices you pay. There was no fresh foods expect for animal kingdom they offered roasted corn. I definitely thought the Disney junior area would have had more than a closed store, my kids looked forward to that store the entire trip, I feel like they are doing away with things for the smaller kids and it definitely goes noticed
Rid yourself of your evil and unGodly ways and and maybe you will thrive again. Until then, may your parks be as empty as your hearts for God and Jesus!
That’s really not a state for your type of people. Remember NAACP said blacks and gay stay away even though they had honcho lives there they hypocrites
Going woke and getting broke doesn’t mean you left poor, but how this happens is that everyone needs to be on a limit to a full crowd capacity, although it does have to require the guidelines needed for the following schedule.
Reading these comments is a hysterical commentary on how outsiders are perceiving Florida.
What I perceive in slower WDW traffic is a combination of skewed perceptions, recent Disney news (fights, etc.), and Disney’s step away from the founding principles of family & American values.
I remember Disney from the 1970’s-1990’s. Greatest place for a family vacation. Not so much anymore. Greed and loss of family values has become the direction they seem to be going to. Please go back to what Walt and Roy envisioned.
Whoever is trying to convince people that the Disney parks are dead, can we please stop the nonsense. Yes there was a week in June before the schools let out where the parks were slow but this was anticipated and documented in the disney crowd calendar app. I live in the area and attend the parks frequently. I am not speaking for Disney+, nor the box office, but the parks are alive and well. And i don’t agree with many of their policies but im not ready to give up on the mouse.
I was in Disney World a week ago walking shoulder to shoulder with people. Not sure why article says it’s empty. I was there Thurs & Fri,thinking it wouldn’t be too crowded during the week, Epcot too, hard to walk around so I didn’t find it empty
Was in Orlando last week for a conference. Flew over the MK on my way back home. Found it interesting that the parking lot at the Ticket and Transportation Center was less than half full on a Thursday afternoon in July at 2PM. Speaks volumes to the challenges they are facing.

And it will get worse unless you get back on track and get rid of Woke. And put someone in as CEO more like Walt & Roy combination. SOON!

The LOVE of money is the root of all evil. Not money itself. It’s just a tool used for good or bad. It’s the users of money that are good or evil.

The whole problem is the brainless governor of the state.
