Disney offers deep discounts as park attendance falls to record lows

 

Walt Disney World’s magic seems to be fading—at least for now. Once bursting with crowds, the resort complex has seen attendance plunge to record lows this September, marking its slowest three-week stretch in years. In a bid to draw guests back through the gates, Disney has rolled out eye-catching discounts and limited-time deals that have fans taking notice. The core question, however, isn’t whether lower prices will bring a few more visitors, but rather: what’s the true reason behind this mass exodus from Disney World—and are these aggressive promotions a warning sign of deeper troubles for Disney’s entire parks division?

 

 

Data confirms Disney World’s steep drop in visitors

Disney World logged its slowest three-week stretch of the year in September, putting it on track to

Disney World recently experienced a dramatic and unusual downturn, registering its slowest three-week attendance period of the year in September—a slump that positioned the month to be the quietest since 2021. The anecdotal reports from visitors were stark: multiple users on platforms like TikTok described the parks as literal “ghost towns.” One guest at Magic Kingdom remarked on the startling emptiness, claiming that major attractions like Space Mountain, Haunted Mansion, and Pirates of the Caribbean were all “walk-ons.” The longest wait time they observed was a mere 30 minutes.

Crowd tracking data from mid-August through mid-September provides concrete evidence for this lull. According to aggregated data from Disney’s My Disney Experience app (compiled by third-party trackers), the average wait time across the resort plummeted to just 24 minutes per ride. For context, this is notably shorter than the average waits experienced even during the Fourth of July holiday period.

This quiet September follows a broader summer softening. August had already claimed the title of the slowest full month of the year to date, with an average wait of 28 minutes, followed by July at 30 minutes.

While September traditionally sees some of the year’s shortest lines, this year also featured an unusual crowd pattern: weekends were significantly busier than weekdays, temporarily reversing the typical trend and adding an average of 10 to 12 minutes to posted wait times. Analysts generally expected a late-month rise as Florida residents redeemed expiring discounted tickets, with the next major surge anticipated in October around the Columbus Day holiday.

Ed posting misleading articles that have already been posted elsewhere.  I remember last year when Ed posted about them offering discounts that they had offered for years and thinking they were unusual, lol.

Disney is hurting. Too late, they ruined it.
