Walt Disney World In A Post-Covid World

[wbest]

Greetings

I am curious whether Walt Disney World will be able to be anywhere near as profitable in a post-Covid world. Is the profitability of the parks and resorts based more on high density or the ability to extract money from the wealthiest 1%, 5% or 10% of the population? Even before this crisis, I felt many Disney prices were at the point where increases would actually decrease revenue through reduced sales.

I think its going to take 2-3 years to get to the profitability they were at, and 4-5 to reach new highs.

You're kidding right? Which makes more revenue? 10 people paying $100 per person or 5 people paying $250 per person?

Next year will set records for Disney attendance. Problem is they have to get through this year.

Yes and no. Iger is essentially taking over as CEO again specifically because Disney as a whole, especially including the parks, is going to have to look so much different than what it looked like before this began.

While any ideas of what will change are just speculation, Disney has essentially acknowledged that things will be different, so people might as well kill some time by guessing what exactly that will be.
