Disney domestic parks operating income dips 6% with "moderation in demand"
Posted
The parks business was Disney's main disappointment in the quarter, with domestic operating income dropping 6% from the prior year to $1.35 billion. The company warned demand moderation could continue over "the next few quarters." International parks and cruises show higher booking and spending.

After the last two years, I'm not surprised by this. Turns out the anecdotes I've seen are trends though. I couldn't believe how "less busy" Epcot was on July 5. And the two cruises we did in April and June were booked solid. I for one welcome some easing in attendance at the parks.

I think everyone welcomes this. :)

With the softer year they're having, I can't understand why they left so much time between Flower & Garden and Food & Wine. We almost never go to Epcot when there isn't a festival, which used to be like three weeks out of the entire year. Now we're in this weird drought. I met friends at Beach Club a few weeks ago (where they're now militant about not letting in non-hotel guests, no matter how much they're spending at the bar), but my last prior visit was 7/5. Granted, I don't get out as much during swamp-ass season, so that'll persist for another four weeks.
