Disney Parks Are EMPTY đą Tourism in America PLUMMETS â Here’s Why!
Once packed with crowds and long lines, Disney parks across the U.S. are now experiencing shockingly low attendance. Theme park crowd levels are far below expectationsâsome days dropping by over 3 points compared to predictionsâand many guests are reporting empty walkways, minimal wait times, and a noticeably quieter atmosphere. Whatâs behind this surprising trend?
đ˘ Whatâs Going On at Disney?
Crowd levels are averaging 2â3 points below forecast, with Hollywood Studios dropping from a predicted “7” to just a “2” on peak days.
Some parks are being described as âeerily empty,â with visitors noting unusually short lines and a lack of foot traffic.
Online discussions suggest 2025 may be a âskip yearâ for many families, with international travel declining and ride breakdowns adding to frustrations.
đ¸ Why Are People Staying Away?
Price hikes â Daily ticket prices are hitting $200+, with add-ons like Genie+ and Lightning Lane pushing costs even higher. A family trip can now exceed $3,000.
Tariffs and inflation â Soaring costs of travel, lodging, and food are pricing out middle-class families across the U.S.
Global tensions and uncertainty â Many international visitors are skipping U.S. vacations altogether due to political instability and economic concerns.
Rising competition â Universalâs upcoming Epic Universe theme park is drawing major attention and diverting interest from Disneyâs offerings.
đ Consequences & Outlook
Disneyâs parks division is still turning a profit, but internal reports indicate a drop in return visits from average families.
While âDisney Adultsâ remain loyal, international visitorsâwho typically account for 20% of all trafficâare declining.
Economic challenges, global issues, and natural disruptions like hurricanes are also affecting park operations and bottom lines.
