People aren’t avoiding Disney due to tariffs, which haven’t even taken effect yet, but for two main reasons.
First, Disney has significantly increased its prices in recent years. A four-day trip for an average family of four now costs around $8,000.
Second, many are frustrated with Disney’s focus on “woke” policies, which are evident across the company, including in its parks, movies, and TV shows.
Once known as the happiest place on Earth, Disney has sadly become one of the costliest.
Maybe you can explain something to the rest of the world ? Disney has had parks since the 1950s . Their hiring policies haven`t changed in any major way . So why is it they weren`t woke until trump and desantis came to be in office ? I guess their lies are more believable than facts ? What was that saying about fooling some of the people all the time ?
Look the undercover video with the Disney employee stating that he was told he would never move up because he’s white. And that Disney doesn’t want to hire straight white men. Also that they hire according to dei standards. They use to have a website stating that very thing. People should be hired based on merit, education and talent. Not on the color of their skin or whom or what they have sex with.
You would think that this article was written by and paid for by the Democrats. Disney is committing suicide through its own policies. Nice try to blame it on Trump.
Disney’s recent business decisions, particularly its embrace of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, have sparked significant debate among consumers and investors. The company’s stock has dropped notably from an all time high of $199.45 per share on March 8, 2021, to $84.78 as of April 18, 2025. Many critics argue that this decline is partly due to alienating segments of its traditional audience by prioritizing ideological (DEI) messaging over storytelling in its content.
As a small business owner, I understand the importance of responding to customer demand rather than pushing personal political views onto the marketplace. Consumers generally support what resonates with them emotionally and culturally, not what feels forced or agenda driven. Public reaction to Disney’s recent releases, such as the new Snow White trailer, reflects this divide. On platforms like YouTube, the Disney trailer received over 2.2 million dislikes compared to just 78,000 likes, suggesting widespread audience disapproval of its content.
Additionally, many fans feel that Disney’s recent attempts to “modernize” iconic franchises, replacing or reinterpreting beloved characters like Luke Skywalker, Indiana Jones, and the Doctor from Doctor Who, have unmistakably missed their mark. While diversity in all aspects is valuable, the execution must respect the core elements that made these franchises successful in the first place. Poorly received creative decisions can damage even the strongest intellectual properties.
In conclusion, for a global society, and a global business, to thrive, there must be a balance between inclusivity and respect for the preferences of the broader audience. True progress lies in uniting people, not dividing them through cultural or political polarization. If major companies like Disney continue to prioritize controversial narratives over consumer satisfaction, they will risk long term financial instability and the erosion of their legacy if it is already too late for them.
Just say that you’re ok with every other country charging the US tariffs but we can’t reciprocate. There is no reason for tariffs to affect ticket prices or resort fees, the only thing would be the made in China junk novelty stuff that they sell. If you can’t afford to go, don’t. Go somewhere else. Less crowds for when I go. You can’t blame Trump for all of your money problems.
Enough already. Nobody wants to keep the rivers boat besides a handful of people on here that complain about corporate greed on just about every article. I hope they build the Cars ride even quicker now! If you want to cancel corporate greed so much, why are you even reading articles about Disney? Just so you can come say the same things every time?
Disney will use any reason or excuse to raise prices. This has nothing to do with tariffs.
Food prices at Disney World have inflated 61% on average over the last 10 years.
The cost of a one-day park ticket has risen by 56% over the same period.
The cost of a typical four-day visit to Walt Disney World, including a stay at a Disney-owned value resort, has risen significantly in recent years, with nearly 80% of the increase attributed to new charges for services that were once free, such as line-skipping access.

What exactly are “woke” policies, and why are you against them? It certainly wouldn’t be bigotry, or would it?
