According to Jim Hill that number is closer to 50%They're trying to find that perfect price point where they could drop membership by 20-30%.
Well - they have cut back on that - but I would bet the 50th will be BIG deal in WDW. And of all the parks - they won't want MK under piles of construction walls.
I definitely could see them sprucing up Tomorrowland. I don't know this for sure, but any major facility like WDW and each of the parks has to have a "to maintain" budget separate from their "new project" budget. With the hub and Pirates refurbs wrapping up, something will come on the plate for next year. How much longer until they give up on Stich. I've only ever been in there once, do they actually get people in there?
People that don't know what it is before they do it.There's frequently a queue of people going into Stitch which just goes to show that if you put anything in the Magic Kingdom, people will stand in line for it!

Agree and disagree...Don't buy that. You don't raise prices by 20% hoping to get rid of 50% of the customers. You do it hoping to get rid of 15%.
Of course, I wouldn't trust a thing Jim Hill says.
The trouble with raising the price to cut down on consumption (when you're talking about an "unlimited" product) is that a higher price compels consumers who do bite to use it more frequently to get their money's worth. You may lose units sold, but gain an equivalent number of gate entries to balance the difference.

He wasn't saying that with this price increase they want to cut it by 50% but eventually they want to get down to that.Don't buy that. You don't raise prices by 20% hoping to get rid of 50% of the customers. You do it hoping to get rid of 15%.
