I found this site today and boy am I glad I did. This segment was great and it gave me some ideas about my holiday planning. I will keep tuned in and keep up the good work!!

Chris: Yeah, the impromptu trip to WDW was may 'penance' for going away for a week for work and play for D23. I actually don't really like Florida this time of year as it's still VERY hot and sticky.

I'm holding my breath on the Fantasyland expansion in that I also hope they rework some of the rides on that side of Fantasyland as part of the makeover. Pooh is one example in need of more love.

Scott: It was a work trip first, but a fun trip second of course! We did go over to Disneyland on Saturday night since it was open until midnight and they offered discount admission tickets for conventioners after 4 PM ($48 a day for one park). We did NOT go to DCA though. I have several pictures from random places, including several in Small World.

You're so lucky! A trip to WDW followed by this? Jealous!!!!

Okay, enough with the exclamation points, now for the serious question? What do you think about the fantasyland expansion? I'm still a bit surprised.

Have a great time and a safe trip back your family.

Hi,

Another great way of finding out what's available is by attending a cruise ship jobs fair. Many companies are now using this method to attract staff and promote their business.

Auditions and interview days are also a new way of hiring and along with job fairs are a great way of meeting current staff, getting insider information on life and work on board, as well as giving you an excellent opportunity to make a good impression.

Wow. That's a lot of analysis, which is one reason why I enjoy your blog. You definitely have a different, and interesting, take on Disney.

Sam,

Just made a new post tonight in fact on the DVC side. You can go to the front page of the blog to see it.

Per Cap spending is definately down, but it depends it seems on which number you look at. There are two Disney tracks, which is spending per park guest and then average spending per room per night (that includes the room rate plus room charges at the resort only). The second will be heavily impacted by discounted room rates, the first one no so much.

Likewise you'll see in the other blog post I did that DVC memebers who are staying on a DVC membership stay are EXCLUDED from occupancy and room per cap spending calculations. They only count DVC rooms that were available to the general public. Likewise, DVC is only the room, so you still have to buy tickets, food, transportation, etc. PLUS pay your yearly resort maintenance dues as part of your contract. That doesn't necessarily make it 'free', but more like highly subsizdized (some would contend by your own upfront outlay for the points, but I'm not a DVC member).

Florida according to Al has a much smaller (but still significant) AP member base than Calfornia. You can't say from the numbers Disney provides what the number of people is even on average, only their statements that gate counts are about the same. . . which is what leads me to believe that the people mix must have changed.

I think we have underestimated the impact of DVC a...

2009-08-04T21:42:28.441-04:00

I think we have underestimated the impact of DVC and other annual passholders. At Disneyland, APs have now crossed the 800,000 mark according to Al Lutz. If you bought a timeshare, and a lot of people have, this is the prepaid vacation for this year. My understanding is that per capita spending is down. Are the two issues related?

What do you think about reports that attendance is really down for summer? True? I've only heard this anecdotally, but it seems to be coming from lots of sources.

Sara,

Thanks! I've tried to go a slightly different way than others with focusing on more of the business and technical sides of what we see from Disney than the typical themepark offer of the week.

Thoughts and feedback are appreciated!
