Crowd Outlook

Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but this is all new to me.
It appears that the 2015-2019 MK numbers are in the 20M range.
So, we're looking at a 7-8K less guests per day compared to 6 years ago?

Yep, by design.

The numbers are very interesting. All four WDW had an increase in attendance, yes very small increase but still an increase. Whereas Universal Florida had a decrease. So for many on these forums with the Universal is over taking Disney, not so fast. Cannot wait for the rationalization crowd to down play the hard numbers. My family (ages 70 to 8) went to the new Universal Park and the collective review was a collective yawn--nice but not great (or even all that good). And for the anger at Disney costs, quite frankly Universal was more expensive.

I agree. The knee-jerk reactionary Facebook (or even Dis boards) comment for someone who is irritated at Disney/Disney's cost/Disney's "pricing out the middle class"/etc., is to say "I'm done with Disney! I'm going to Univeral from now on." Sometimes they will even add "and everyone I know is doing the same thing!"

For 2024-25 anyway, this comment seems to not be holding up to the data.
