US Dollar vs. the Euro

FYI, there is NOTHING wrong with the current demographics of WDW's guest makeup. I want to start off by saying that before anyone mistakes what I'm saying. People always seem to find a way to nit pick.

That being said, does anyone think we'll see much fewer tourists from Europe given the Euro's rapid decline relative to the USD?

That's been the case in the past.
The converse is certainly true.

I think that is very possible or at minimum will cut down on their spending. The Canadian dollar is very weak now as well. Last August my trip was when our dollar was around par and right now, it's about 80 cents on the dollar. I'm still planning on going, but my souvenir shopping budget us getting drastically reduced.

I know several US people considering first-time European vacations because of the favorable exchange (from our perspective) so I agree that the converse is probably true for international guests coming here.

Wonder if it will have a noticeable impact on discount offerings, either international or domestic, to make up for any shortfall?

I wouldn't be surprised. We are still planning a trip, but it's costing a lot more than I'd like because of the weak Canadian dollar.
