Hey there, folks, so ... anyone who has been following WDW for the last few years has noticed they have done a great job of filling the parks with international visitors while the US economy was recovering. Well, the economy has not only recovered, but is doing quite well Unemployment is the lowest in a decade, consumer confidence is high, there is more disposable income in the system than there has been in a decade, etc BUT, the value of the US dollar is also high compared to other currencies, the CAD, the British pound, the Real, etc. International travelers are in a pinch. Disney is current marketing the same old deals (the same thats offered to US folks) to many of these people. They were, inthe past few years offered better deals while their domestic currencies were worth more compared to the US. SO not only are they being offered a worse deal (20% off the room instead of 30%, 30% off instead of free dining, etc) but their domestic currency isn't worth nearly as much either.
Just wondering what people think the impact of this will be on WDW ... will they offer more attractive deals to international visitors ? How much of their visitor base was composed of international folks.
A great illustration of this is their current ad on facebook to Canadians, the response in comments is .... HIGHLY negative. From what I am seeing about 90% saying they aren't returning unless a better deal is offered.
