It was in the V.I.Passholder Celebration thread: --- It isn't the heat or is the weather. It's definitely economics and international travelers, particularly Canadians, deciding it's no longer worth it (due to inflation or otherwise). Remember that Canada alone is by far Orlando's largest international market. It's been true for decades. You take 10% away, and they go to Mexico, Europe, or God knows where else, and that is a significant hit to the bottom lines of both resorts. People really don't have an option for cruises that's an equivalent to what Miami has, never mind Port Canaveral, unless they want to cruise out of Europe which involves longer flights and more significant costs. So the US cruise industry is likely to have a bit of a softer landing (especially as basically all the major cruise lines already base significant chunks of their fleets or entire companies outside of the US). Disney is something for most people will always be there if they decide to take a trip in another 5 or 10 years. The cruise is a completely different kind of experience, that changes even with the weather. It doesn't help that the summer is generally considered the best weather for a cruise anyway...

Yes! My apologies, I forgot who said it, and now, of course, I remember it was you. Still can’t think of where, though… 🤦‍♂️😂

That was me! Kind of surprised it's this soft though... Very curious what the bookings are like at some resorts this summer. Lots of CMs getting deployed to Pop and elsewhere I suspect. More than just Riverside.

The combination of diminished international travel into the US and recession fears domestically are definitely a major issue. Eggs were supposed to be cheaper by now, weren’t they?

I know some of that is likely due to the political climate but it can't be the only reason.

If the new mentality is, “Florida is just too hot in the summer” and people have no issue pulling their kids out of school for a week when it’s cooler, there’s not much Disney or Universal can do other than discount summer to entice people. I think the weather is increasingly a nonstarter. Interestingly, people will still book cruises during hurricane season, so they still command a premium in the summer.

Bookings for both properties are definitely soft on our end. We saw a push early last fall with lots of quotes but a much lower than usual booking rate. Over the last 8 weeks or so we've had a very unusual spike in near-travel cancelations, where clients are canceling trips that are 1 to 4 months out. Most had only paid the minimum deposit.

Universal’s summer bookings aren’t where they’d like them either.

What happened to Epic rising all boats?

Lowkey post of the year right here.

Who? Someone else said in a different thread that bookings are so soft they could be considered soft-serve ice cream. This seems to confirm and corroborate that info.

Bookings are softer than the average incel complaining about Rachel Zegler.

Just as an FYI update. Those looking to take advantage of Room Only discounts should check again. It looks like in the past week a lot of inventory was added and/or pricing adjusted.
