Disney wants that high UK guest spending for drinks, food and merchandise.That's for 14 nights and a plane ticket? That's insane. I can't even fly to the U.K. for that price, forget about the hotel!
That is an absurd deal. Anyone have a plane ticket/ hotel deal back to england from the usa for that price?14 nights. It's on the Thomson website.
Today from Len Testa on Touring Plans, "We've heard that Disney is making a small reduction to some Castmember shifts at it's domestic parks and resorts beginning with tomorrow's work week. We hear the cutbacks will run from July 23 through Sept. 30, 2017, the last day of Disney's fiscal year."Mice Chat photo article on Epcot today. The article pointed out how empty the park was at mid afternoon on a sunny summer day, and had photos to prove it.

Pandora probably came in under expectations with it's more like NewFantasyLand bump than a CarsLand type bump. As you said, cook the books with cuts to make the summer quarter look better than it really was, profit wise.The old "make the numbers look better than they are", corporate trick. :saywhat:
I would normally say that it is a case of plan for the worst than adjust. But with the cut aligning so perfectly with the fiscal quarter, this reeks of financial manipulation.
I know its the off season but looking at prices for September and Disney All sports with direct flight from UK (Thomson from Birmingham) is only £500 and that includes free breakfast. Never seen the prices anywhere near this low.
We have just spent roughly 2k for a week away in the UK (Centreparcs) adding the costs and tickets in would have only been £300 more to go disney for a week in SeptemberThomas Cook isn't nearly as cheap. I'm thinking that Thomson have bought far more rooms than they can shift and now just giving them away. Ever since the Dreamliner was introduced, Thomson have wanted a premium even though it flies into Sanford.
The price difference is ridiculous when you flip it. Same date. Same airline. I thought it would maybe be those dates but if you mess around with it, it's pretty much always double.

Airlines like Norwegian are going to hand Delta it's ass soon. Especially when they get the A321lr and drop in every city with a catchment area of 3 million. I just read an article out of Scotland where the C3O states that he is going to start routes from the mid US in 2019 when they start getting that plane, first example was Edinburgh/Memphis.
Only problem with Norwegian is that by the time you buy all the extras you need (Baggage, food, drinks, entertainment etc) you're almost at a Delta/VA Price!
Edinburgh to Memphis would be a dead route.
Airlines like Thomas Cook can't even fill planes to Orlando from Glasgow, Manchester or Gatwick in the Summer. In fact they don't fly to MCO for 4-6 months of the year sometimes!!
The main point is that the volume of passengers just isnt them to go to Memphis otherwise there would be a direct route, which there isn't now. Clearly not cost effective else they'd be all over it!Totally different type of market being serviced by a totally different type on plane. Plus, rattle off how many TATL routes Orlando has vs Memphis. Orlando enjoys competitive pricing. The fares are apples and oranges. A TATL to London from From MEM is well over $1,000. You would be shocked at how many people live within 4 hrs of Memphis. The same 4hrs drive catchment area standard New Orleans used to to land BA and Condor.
I'm not talking daily flights but 1 to 2 times weekly here and I highly doubt year round.
