I found this story interesting about DCA, the numbers at the end surprised me as well.

Friday: Expected - 38,000; actual - 11,000

Well, we will see next week! I hope the crowds are still light... maybe I can convince some of the local DISers who are staying away because of the crowds to join us!

I was at the GC yesterday having lunch and the attendance at DCA couldn't have been more than 5,000. Of course it was COLD and RAINY so I'm sure that had a lot to do with it!

The numbers will definitely pick up as the weather gets better, I'm sure. Teri, I'd LOVE to go back to DCA but like Mary Jo, I don't see spending $43 to go there having just gone (for me, twice) and paying $20. We want our two-park APs!!! :D

If they made the price of admission 25 dollars and could double the attendance then they would actually make more money if you include what people spend on food.

Or maybe they should start selling 2 Park APs!!!!

Does anyone know what the attendance was on the AP days to compare?

I think those Disney Bean Counters better look at the situation and come up with a fix soon!!! Demand is low so lower the prices to get bodies in. Whatever happened to the California Resident winter discount? Wouldn't that be an appropriate incentive to start up again?
