Good point Izzy, I would love to see the spend per head figures. If they arent higher than AK now they most certainly will be once potter opens.

LOL - Universal will never have more guests than Disney, but I think they can surpass DHS and AK in daily guest attendance and I think that is their goal. Expansions like Simpsons, is not bringing in people, but is causing people to spend more. So I think in the end not only will attendance be higher than those two parks, but guest spending is going to be thru the roof compared to those two parks. Who spends a ton of money in AK? Not many, I wouldn't be shocked if guest spending was already higher than AK.

It's already higher than both of them. Spending at DAK and DHS have always been terrible

Pretty sure a Buzz Cola is cheaper than a regular soda at Disney (for the time being) since this weeks price increase.

Disney parks hold more people than Universal parks, so she might not be as wrong as you think, just on a logistical level at least.

In two decades a lot can change in either direction. New parks could exist by then and parks that currently exist could be closed by then, or be operating seasonally. You never know.

I don't think I'll be alive to see Disney parks operating seasonally :lol:
But I do know that unless people stop going to MK altogether, it's physically impossible for Universal to beat Disney in numbers, just because of sheer size. When Universal hits capacity, MK's got a ways to go still.

I know people are kinda into these drinks because of the Simpsons and everything, but diet and Cherry are the two things I hate most in a soda. I tried Buzz Cola and as I figured, didn't like it. Doesn't mean it's not good for certain people, but I think it should be advertised that it is a diet soda.

That's a completely different thing though. Most know by now what Butterbeer is. Plus it doesn't look like beer, unlike buzz cola which you could take for a regular soda.

Keep in mind that Butterbeer has been around a lot longer (in real life) than Buzz Cola. I would also argue and say that butterbeer does actually look similar to beer...
