I know some hard core Disney Adults who are doing other holidays now instead of traveling to the US to go to the theme parks...everything costs too much and is absolute 'shite' now

Canadians boycotting the US over stupid Trump insults and tariffs has to account for a big chunk of that.

It's reported that tourism visits from Canada have dropped 42% across the US

Thanks Trump!

1. Food + Bills > Theme Parks

2. We let the dumbest among us run the show and they're scaring the tourists away.

I didn't even know there was a Six Flags in Southern California.

I thought Disney was somewhat saturated and they had moved to catering to the high spenders almost exclusively, so this seems expected for them.

E.g.: less staff so people would feel the need to get the fast passes to "get their money's worth", when it is so expensive to get into the park to begin.

I'm sure Disney is pleased with itself that it's competition is all failing slightly, while families continue to go into debt to achieve their American dream/familial obligation of attending Disneyland with their child.

Recession indicator.
