I think you completely missed the overarching point of my posts
- People say Disney is desperate for money
- Disney isnt advertising towards cash paying guests
- Advertisement draws people in. Yes, even in a pandemic. YOU may not be traveling. People you know might not be traveling. But people ARE traveling. Not as much as usual, but people are still traveling
- If Disney were as desperate for cash paying guests, they would be advertising the reopening...They are not.
All that to say the assumptions that Disney is desperate and underwhelmed may be a little overstated.
Are they struggling for money? Yes. Everyone outside of essential stores and plexiglass manufacturers are struggling for money. But desperate company’s try anything they can to get business. The fact that not only are they not trying to bring in out of state guests, but they’re trying to convince them to wait until next year means that they aren’t as bad off as some posters on other boards claim.
Closing rides and attractions that didn’t generate volume prior to the shutdown dont show much.
