This summer was very, very busy. I agree that a lot of people aren't up for taking their kids out of school at the moment given the way last year went. I also think people are canceling because of the new face Disney management is showing with the
Genie+, IA$, and price increases with APs, resort cost with lack of discounts, etc. I know folks who cancelled their upcoming fall trip because they were no longer feeling good vibes about Disney for the reasons I just mentioned. These were people that were very excited about the 50th and normally wouldn't pass up a chance to go. It's really disheartening and I completely understand why they decided to cancel their trip. They'll go again in the future because they have tickets to use, but all the same, Disney management needs to wake up.
*hahahaha as I'm typing this up, I see that there are added costs to the already insanely expensive Star Wars Hotel. Because what, they can't afford to feed everyone for two days when a family of four pays $6000 plus for the two day experience?!
I love Disney. I love WDW. I'm a nerdy, nostalgic sap, but man oh man am I feeling jaded lately.
