Do these tickets qualify for date based reservations / Lightning Lane bookings for guests staying offsite? We will become Florida residents (seasonally, but still counts) ahead of our next trip. I'm trying to find the best option for my family and 4 day non-hoppers may be a better option if we can also get Lightning Lanes. APs can only book LLs 3 days out and availability is significantly reduced if you don't get the benefit of the "length of stay" ticket.

Total agreement.

From BlogMickey.com: --"Regarding Epic, we did model that into our expectations for the Experiences outlook. As mentioned earlier, the early bookings that we have next summer are actually positive, so that’s certainly a positive indicator. We also looked at the history of other attractions and other parks opening up in Florida, and it’s been beneficial for us. That is very much captured in the guide we provided." (Hugh Johnston, Disney CFO) The model guidance that Johnston was referring to was “6% to 8% segment operating income growth compared to fiscal 2024”. The model suggests that that growth will come “in the second half of the year”, which means next summer into early fall.--

Correct, though my 5% guess fair enough may be a couple points generous and WDW seems to have better ability to moderate on the upside and downside than the 10% decline Universal have seen. I think on both ends the wait for Epic has been suppressing ‘some’ attendance in the market. In a very minor way in the grand scheme of WDW but a major way for Universal. It’s not so much sloppy seconds as gaining the guest trip deferrals back. The true sloppy seconds of this scenario are IOA/USO due to the forced multi day ticketing decisions to attempt to preserve those parks further declines.

Some of y'all act like if Disney had planned ahead and had Tropical Americas opening in May that it would compete with Epic Universe. Disney knows nothing they could do (short of a 5th gate, which isn't happening anytime soon) would compete for headlines with Epic. Invest in entertainment, and when the hype cools off, they'll have Tropical Americas, Monstropolis, New Frontireland all coming online, with Villiansland work already commenced.

So WDW will be picking up sloppy seconds?

MrPromey23 days ago

And that seems to be the cycle we're stuck in with WDW with guests seemingly backing it up. If it's not something they think people will plan a trip around, they don't see it as an addition/update worth doing in most cases. The attractions they build to fit this scenario cost half a billion dollars and take years to complete once construction actually starts so combined with their D23 moneymaker requiring early announcements, they take forever to get started with pretty much anything. Once finally complete, these new attractions are mobbed for years*, now with ILL upcharges for anyone who fell for the marketing and did plan a trip around these new additions. Rinse and repeat. Seems like mobbed E-tickets of varying quality are mostly all we're going to get from here on out unless they need to attach a C-ticket so they have justification for a bunch of retail sprawl they can then call a new "land" when it should have just been an attraction with maybe, a gift shop at the exit. I blame Universal for giving them this idea with the success of their Simpsons "land". 😒 *While whatever's nolonger brand new in need of maintenance/updates/plusing to stay relevant and in full working order go neglected. Case in point, how are those canons on ROTR doing these days?.. and that one's only a few years old but they seem to have already moved on while being happy to charge a premium for the attraction with broken/disabled effects.

plenty of vloggers and maybe some locals will check it out early but I doubt many are saying they must book a vacation this summer because of it.

Squishy23 days ago

It won't but executives are hoping it will at least put a dent on the graph.

lentesta23 days ago

If I've read the AECOM reports correctly, WDW's hit 5% YoY growth once in the last (non-pandemic) decade. So you're thinking this is a "rising tide lifts all boats" scenario?

BrianLo23 days ago

The back half of 2025 is what they said was stronger, front is weaker but they essentially implied it was flat as we are year over year on already suppressed attendance from 2024.

Jrb197924 days ago

I'm not so sure. They say booking trends to be much stronger in 2025 but their actions say a different story. Looking at all the discounts and the free dining tells me bookings are down for the summer.

Yup - about what I expect. Universal has seen 2 years of attendance decreases (but on par with Pre-Covid #'s), but they should get a significant boost. WDW overall I'm expecting to benefit, specifically MK & EP. I'd have to imagine DAK will stop the bleed a bit attendance-wise, and DHS might stay flat.
