I know there is a lot of discussion about the value of DVC with lots of speculation of prices now and over the next 6-12 months - both direct and resales. I think a bigger overall question of the “value” moving forward of DVC is really the future of the parks.
If this turns really bad economically long term, which is a distinct possibility- disney is going to have a real cash and debt problem. Where are they going to find the money to continue plussing the parks to justify these ridiculously high prices? This will most certainly mean pressure to reduce capital spending for new rides and attractions and entertainment, as well as ongoing operational costs to just what they have keep running (like CMs, housekeeping , food quality, park upkeep, etc) which for many makes the Disney experience. It has a real chance to snowball downward for a while. And unfortunately, the other operating units such as television , movies, etc has the potential to also cannibalizes profits from parks and resorts.. $70 billion for Fox? Not sure how this is gonna turn out
Does anyone with long term commitments (which are most of us) worry about the overall Disney resort experience over the next 20 years +? I’m not talking about a drop in quality turning this into Six Flags , but creating magic costs a lot of money , and not so confident this isn’t going into that direction
