Yeah, it also was reflected in Touring Plans crowd calendar....They predicted a Level 7 for Disneyland and a Level 3 showed up.(Last week had four days of level 1 crowds and one level 2 during the weekdays) Curiously, the past few years the first week of all AP access usually has large crowds, regardless of it being school season. You would think with a brand new spankin $1 Billion plus new land that the crowd would even be larger than the past few years, instead of the much smaller crowds showing up.Plus it's the beginning of Halloween overlays, usually a popular crowd attention getter. And today looks slow too at 11:45. Radiator Springs 25 minutes. And little to no lines at Disneyland. Falcon at 40 minutes posted, not actual, is just about the longest line. This week pricing returns to Regular pricing.Was at the park for Halloweentime yesterday. It was... fairly uncrowded. Definitely picked up later in the day, but Space Mountain and Matterhorn FastPasses were available up until close. Easy to get parade or firework viewing spots. Many rides under 20 minutes, including headliners. Only rides that required any substantial waiting or planning were Monsters After Dark (which to be fair was down an elevator bay) and Haunted Mansion Holiday.

I think you mean bright sunsMay the quiet times continue for the next few weeks.
Yeah, I don’t think crowds are gonna all of a sudden appear once Rise opens. They’ve finally priced people out and it’s pretty clear.I feel like the waiting for ROTR excuse may be valid for WDW, but what does that have to do with DL's huge AP base? When another visit costs them nothing? Literally every single DLR pass is unblocked right now.

I mean, Spider-Man is in 2020...
Perhaps Disney finally did damage to their BRAND, with those super price increases, especially how they accelerated in the past 18 months. This is generally a period when Disneyland gets decent crowds, between the mostly unblocked AP's and first days of the Halloween overlays, and the crowds are just not showing up, even with the big expensive SW expansion that should have spurred even bigger crowds than normal.
Today from Mice Chat..."California's future projects will be seeing some big cuts pretty soon"
Just saw this from the Dis yesterday. Remember they sell Disney packages and have a close relationship with Disney. They also can see how their own sales are doing and what future sales are. It all was very shocking to me that Pete said he thought Disney was in for a problematic 18 months. I'm positive he says that regarding their sales numbers and prognoses. It focus a lot on WDW but I think they problems and trends they talk about apply to all Disney parks.
