The down turn is visitors is also due to Disney raising prices on admissions, accommodation plus their version of the paid fast pass system.
It also doesn’t help that a lot of both parks is blocked off behind walls while Disney carry out refurbishments or redevelopment. I think a lot of people now can’t afford Disneyland Paris and the ones that can are waiting for all the building work to subside and for the new Frozen land to open next year.
It’s just not worth visiting at the moment.
The high cost of visiting Disneyland Paris + the high cost of general living at the moment is clearly going to place a squeeze on visitor numbers.
Add in the high cost of visiting Paris in because of the Olympics and the bad press that the park has generated over the past year.
There were a lot of highly publicised issues with strikes in the parks last year that will have put some off. Paris in general also garnered a bad reputation for having a bedbug problem.
As a wheelchair user I’m in no hurry to return since they changed their queueing system. There are very few advantages to being handicapped and they have taken away yet another. I know people say the system was being abused but they had a good system in place to prevent this where you had to show them some documentary proof of disability. Of course the real reason is just to sell more fast passes… very disappointed in Disney
This is crazy, try and get me to walk without being in my wheelchair I would love to see that happen. If Disney Guest could make that happen that is really a magical place on earth.
You got greedy, Disney. The price of admission is out of control. Still is, especially in the United States. $160 for one person for one day and at one park is ludicrous. Only the rich can attend without going broke. Walt would be ashamed of the avarice.
During the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles the crowds at Disneyland were very small. I expected a lot of people but was pleasantly surprised. As a visitor it was great, of course not the numbers Disney was hoping fir with such a influx of people to town
Disney went woke, no one is interested in that. That the rising prices is keeping people away. Gone are the days of just Walt Disney fun, now they are changing characters, taking over industry they have no business in and charging a premium. Get back to just Disney, Disney. And make it so everyone can afford the park, not have to save for 2 years just to eat while they are there.
Prices are outrageous. Bring back season pass with out blackout dates, ditch the park registrations, and drop the woke and more people would attend. Disney parks are pretty much out of reach for working class families. Get back to the reason it was founded, Fair and attainable family fun.
This is nonsense. It was announced weeks ago that the parks would close early during the summer Olympic period to allow cast members to get home to Paris using the Metro which was predicted to be busier due to the influx of tourists attending the games.
No, they appoint guys like Bob Iger that lose them hundreds of millions of dollars. They changed their image, and I have no interest in looking. Good luck keeping their business afloat with your money.
Take your children outside ..take their phones …take them to the woods teach them forgotton ways of foraging …teach them to fish …teach them how to drink water that just needs to be boiled ..
Teach them to sow a seed ..teach them about the words in Red …get them off the phones in Jesus Name 🙌
What did you think would happen with all your overt marketing efforts to groom our children and give the middle finger to wholesome families values??!! Walt Disney would be rolling over in his grave if he saw what you’ve done to his company and brand!

I believe it’s not just one singular reason: prices, queue times (still horrible), boycot for political views, and.. the French language.
The latter is definitely a thing for me: I understand French fine but I’d rather spend twice the money to go to the US and have a park where English is the primary language (it’s not my primary either, but it IS the source’s original language).
Rising prices from Bidenflation for families is one cause as well as woke, non-family friendly towards the nuclear family policies. Disney has time to rebrand but the last thing it needs to do is try to deceive people into believing this company culture and direction has changed. Woke staff need to be fired and indoctrination of staff needs to end or people will wise up and never trust Disney again!
Just got back from Paris after 5 days @ Disney, the price was to high even for me and wife who both work and have good jobs, granny stumped up the cash, if it wasn’t for her there is no way we could of afforded it, kids had an amazing time but we wouldn’t go back, shows in French and English put me off ruined the emergence of Disney, construction going on, wait times still 45mins – 1 hour on popular rides and after paying ££££’s que jump for a family of 5 was not an option, so think the fireworks being at 11pm put us off stayed late seen it once but a long day when your their from 8:30am, lots of Disney adults dilling the que for the characters for Instagram should be a child que for them waiting 20-30 mins to see winey the poo was to much when at least 60% where just adults and with multiple kids wasn’t an option. All in all for a family of im paying 10k+ for a family holiday 5-7 days at Disney the money that it can buy is a 2 week villa with pool and outings every day in Spain/Italy. It’s a do it once but so glad the kids got their before I know it will be even more expensive in the next 5 years.
Let me say this, My Sister and her Son and my New Niece Just took the 5 small kids from ages 11-1years old to Disney World Last week . My sister Surprised them with SeaWorld Tickets to add to the Disney Park Tickets and Universal studios . THEY HHAD A GREAT TIME STAYED AT AN AIRBNB, THE TRIP WAS PLANNED OUT OVER SOME MONTHS, BUDGETTED WELL, MAINLY BUY THE NIECE AND HER 5 KIDS THE EXTRAS MY Nephew and my Sister of Course Jumped in to take care of. I found a lot of deals for them you have to look and you will find join groups . But the parks PRICES ARE REGRETTABLY EXPENSIVE, A LOT OF FAMILIES COULD NEVER PUT THIS ON A WISH LIST. I DO NOT LIKE RIDES AT ALL NEVER HAVE AFTER I TURNED 11YEARS OLD AND ALMOST FEEL OFF A ROLLERCOASTER I WAS NOT STRAPPED DOWN PROPERLY AND I WAS SLIPPING OUT THE MAN IN THE SEAT BEIND ME WAS HOLDING MY SHIRT AND PANTS HIS SON WAS HOLD MY ARM TRYING TO KEEP ME FROM FALLING I FELT MY FEET COMING OFF THE FLOOR MY SHOE CAME OFF. The Man refused to stop the ride my Money was coming out my pockets I was screaming . In that cage. It was torture. I Find that staying close to the floor is best so if I can just people watch and go to a few shows I am fine. I will pay for that. I have an adult son that is Now 25who is Autistic and he has a badge that says I’m Autistic Perfect and He Is always Fast passed Thank Goodness and I have Never Purchased a Fast Pass Yet. Which has been a Blessing. Thanks Disney.
Did it ever Dawn on anybody then maybe people are just a second by the woke stuff from Disney that they are like they were for the beginning opening ceremonies for the Olympics? We’re tired of our kids having to see this crap. They’re destroying Disney and everything Walt wanted it to be for families, now they need a mockery of the Olympics as well. Not only in the opening ceremonies but by even allowing biological males to compete against biological females. I’m actually very disgusted and I don’t even know if I ever want to watch another Olympics as long as that is going on. It’s a crying shame and it’s sickening. If trans people want to compete and the board wants to be so all inclusive then give them their own damn division.

Overpriced and people are sick of this woke, POS corporation. No shock at all.

Wow! We are so lucky to have experts like you to explain it to us. It’s a wonder why Disney has not made you the CEO.

You absolutely have no idea of what your babbling about and should work on your commend of the English language.
