Has anyone considered the fact that all of their restrictions and pricing has finally reached the breaking point?
Rumor on the street is DLR isn’t profitable for the first time since 2003 after the past month.
I don't think you can out stock the ebayers. They buy and/or steal everything they can get their hands on. At DHS Disney tried to change things up to outfox the ebayers, but nothing ever worked.They even tried limit buys but they got around that by having others buy the stuff...only thing worked was getting rid of SW weekends....and on AP's at Disneyland ...I believe a good number of AP's have been blocked out in the summer the last couple of years, not just this summer.They should know by now there there will be an Ebay effect. They should stock high in the beginning and then wait to see how sales work a couple months later before figuring out their regular base stock amounts.
Instead, it seems like they stock based on what they assume will be regular guest demand. Sell out. Act surprised. Raise the prices. Overstock. Aaaaand then you end up with banshees in the outlets stores.

I had read it was coming back a few months ago ....but not that soon.Posted this in the DL thread, but thought I'd bring it up here, too. Wonder if this was planned in advance or if it's a response to the low crowds.

I'm hoping they turn it around, and soon . But, if this problem persists much longer, it will be interesting to see if they scapegoat some executive and/or executives for what's happened. Disney has a history of not being very forgiving of failure.Rumor on the street is DLR isn’t profitable for the first time since 2003 after the past month.
All they need to do is offer free beer and that will fix everything.
Ahhhthe Sea World fix....Works every time.All they need to do is offer free beer and that will fix everything.
I still think it will crush in Orlando, but I reserve judgement until I see it.
I’m getting WWoHP at USH flashbacks seeing the results. I think this has been touched on before on this thread, but SoCal parks rely heavily on their locals. Once the pass blackouts are lifted, expect the crowds to show up.I probably agree, though word on the street is WDW fall bookings are soft. Still WDW is a different beast, and I think this so far has more to do without DL’s struggles to woo tourists more than anything.
If WDW’s launches the same way...I think the 5 alarm fire sirens need to sound
Lots of WDW hotel rooms left at just about every resort from opening till my vacation in Nov. But I expect the locals will swamp the park.I probably agree, though word on the street is WDW fall bookings are soft.

Though WDW may be a different beast, I think the wonky scheduling of opening up half the land in the Fall and bumping Runaway Railway to next year is causing a lot of tourists to delay their trips. Maybe this will teach theme parks everywhere to open everything with the land instead of trying to milk things dry with a partial opening.
There's no soundtrack?They have rebel spies yet what they really need is the MOVIE SOUNDTRACK playing...
