We already know Disney's attendance was down around 7% before the whole Pandora PR machine ramped up. I'm sure they'll see a bump out of that but I don't think it will be a sustained one. I see comments from people on these threads who used to go multiple times a year (which I think is crazy to begin with) who are going to cut it down to "only" once a year. I haven't been in almost 9 years and don't plan on going for another 4 years, and then nothing in the foreseeable future after that. Disney may be hitting a price point that's starting to push people away. With that said, I don't understand this whole notion that Disney is evil for practicing capitalism is insane. It's supply and demand in action. Am I happy about it? No. Did I adjust my vacation to suit my needs? Heck yeah I did. I dropped down from POR to POP, got the FD, and didn't upgrade to DDP. I upgraded from PH to PH+ (which is practically nothing) and my son is totally excited to hit the water park. You may not see it that way, but I look at that as a win for me. Poo poo FD and RO discount all you want but, for somebody who doesn't go all the time, I'll take it.
I'll say it again. If you don't like it, don't do it. You're not happy about paying $128 for a sharable steak? Then don't buy it! Go get a burger. Or don't eat in the park at all. But all this whining and complaining, and then doing it anyway, accomplishes nothing. I've taught my son that. I don't want to hear you complain unless you have a solution and are willing to put it into motion. Otherwise, I don't want to hear it. Don't complain just to complain, it just makes you a whiner. Repeating the same action over and over and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity. As long as you keep ordering that $128 steak nothing will change.
