I think Disney have outpriced the AVERAGE GUEST and I think they are depending on Annual Passholders and DVC to keep the parks moving! How many agree!? Type YES
Disney has always been expensive idk why yall can’t see that and act like it was always cheap to get into or at least middle range cost prices 😂 , it might have been cheap once disney theme parks first opened but always been expensive 😂
It's a combination of factors, but Disney greed is definitely at the top of the list. Sky-high prices (tickets, food, merch), Genie plus lightning lane schemes, sub-par new attractions like the Moanna walk-through, cheap re-themes of existing attractions, shoddy maintenance, etc. Essentially, pay more for less and Disney is no longer the must-go premier magical destination. Combine that with the ease of virtually experiencing the park and attractions via TH-cam (thanks to you and many others.) Sure, it's not the same as going but what are you really missing if the magic isn't very magical. The enormous amount of money saved can be used for many other recreational activities that are far cheaper.
All of those points circle back to the C suite. List goes on and on, like the magical express, I loved being picked up, the cartoons and videos on way to Disney , no car, kids loved it, kept us on property entirely. I just don’t get why they would abandoned the recipes of success and make new recipes that no one likes. “New Coke, New Disney”. Huh😮
The average price to go to a movie theater is $12. ($6 per hour). Price of popcorn is $9. One day admission to Magic Kingdom is $109 ( $8.40 per hour). Price of popcorn is $12. It takes a lot more people to operate a theme park than a movie theater. Doesn’t sound like a lot of greed to me.

Not true. Record high stock market, record low unemployment, inflation at 3%. People are just too concerned with a $1000 cell phone living paycheck to paycheck instead of prioritizing budgeting and being responsible. Children do what feels good at the time, adults devise a plan and follow it.
*coming from someone who used to be a diehard Disney fanatic* I can’t say for everyone but for me it’s $ and the fact that they’re turning away from being family friendly (remaking classics so they are WOKE & certain things in the parks) and just an awful economy.
I just don’t understand virtual queues. I mean, they’re probably helpful for the first few months that a ride is open for crowd control purposes, but there’s absolutely no need for them 6+ months after the ride’s opening.
Go to Disney springs on a Friday night and check out the restaurant crowds, not people walking through but people actually sitting down and eating, not many and most places are near empty which is crazy….inflation!
Kyle, do you scream and talk your way through thrill rides because you know you're on camera? Or do you do that normally when you're not recording? It's a bit much.
If this was filmed on July 3rd, then it would make sense that there weren't that many people. Most people travel on the 3rd so they are at their destination on the 4th.
I noticed Disney is inflating the stand-by wait times for the rides.. says "40 minutes" but not even 15 in reality.. it's a way of pushing people to pay for Genie+ when it's not necessary
I assure you that Test Track isn't a good enough ride (IMO) to determine whether or not I go to Epcot. I think the rising cost of a Disney vacation plus rising costs of transportation to get there plus inflation that hits every other aspect of people's daily budgets are more than likely resulting in the lower crowds right now. And it doesn't help that planning a Disney vacation has just become unnecessarily complicated for the average person.
it's because it's too expensive and the value for the price is no longer there....Disney management is out of touch with the average American and Walt's original vision. They are too busy with woke politics and money grabs instead of putting their energy into making entertaining films and quality park experiences. Sad.
Disney is widely known as the greediest place on earth and as Disney continues to raise prices and gouge customers you can expect it to become more and more empty. The average Disney park goer is no longer willing to submit to their outrageous prices for mediocre food and spend half of their day standing in lines for attractions that may break down or be evacuated at any moment. Disney has deservedly earned the reputation of being a ripoff destination.
Unless you’re in the know and extremely computer savvy it has become impossible to navigate the rides and times etc. besides the outrageous prices for far less and constantly broken down rides. Also it has become impossible to feed a family of 4 and is heart breaking to have to deprive your children a treat because you can’t afford it after spend thousands of dollars on a disappointing vacation that was once so magical when we were children! 😢💔😢
It's a simple concept. Disney can charge what they want if people are willing to pay for it. Sure people can complain online about it being expensive, but at the end of the day people are still paying for it.
We're local and prefer Disney over Universal but Disney has a problem . Universal is as simple as you can get , you can get a season pass that allows you express or express unlimited and season passes you can get express after 4 ,You don't need a smart phone ,Genie ,Genie plus ,ligtning lane and it's as simple as possible . Somebody sold Disney a bill of goods and they bought it .
Is this a real question? The price gouging started before the pandemic. Insane resort prices, taking away all the perks that came with being a resort guest like free fast pass and transportation from the airport, etc… It goes on and on. People can go down the street for half the price with more up to date attractions and experiences. JMO
Seriously you don't know why Disney isn't as crowded? Everyone was at Sea World and Universal Studios. Sea World was at capacity and had to turn people away and Universal was insanely busy. Guess Why? Disney has turned away from family values, had only 1/4 of their usual July 4th decor up. People are getting sick of it. Their firework show on the 4th was only 7 minutes long, where Sea Worlds was 26 mins long, celebrating our nation. Its all over tic toc and IG where everyone was.
Heat has never stopped large crowds before. Holidays have never stopped large crowds before. I know what I hear on other channels as to why and from people on the street as to why. They aren’t saying it’s the heat. Plenty of ways to deal with the heat. Believing the crowds will be large doesn’t create a smaller crowd size. Everyone knows Christmas is crowded and it stays crowded. Heat, holidays, and crowds isn’t the reason. Also this low crowd situation has been going on for awhile. I hope Disney gets in front of this. One way would be to drop ticket prices as a temporary sell for the rest of the year and announce this immediately so people can plan a trip this fall. If they don’t do things fast enough they won’t get the trip planners from other states who care about saving money on ticket prices. Locals have annual passes and can make last minute decisions to go without the need for lower ticket prices. They need to hire people who understand normal people who plan trips. I don’t think the people in charge have a clue what we have to do to create a trip from several states away to come there for the week. Or they do understand and they just don’t want us.
We were there that day! I saw you in line at Regal Eagle and the day before at Studios....and the wait times were great all day! It was scorching, so that could have something to do with crowds. Love all the videos and me and Cash will keep watching daily!
Note that this video is NOT from July 4th, which was super packed at EPCOT. It’s no mystery why July 3rd and 5th were empty: people on vacation were choosing to wait until the 4th to go to EPCOT because of the big July 4th fireworks. Disney is running a $99/day special for 4 parks this summer, but each ticket is only good for 1 park. On July 4th itself EPCOT was packed. This means the days before and after the 4th at the fireworks parks had lighter attendance. It’s as simple as that. Kyle’s boyish naïveté is charming, but in-depth analysis is not exactly his forte.
When people are living in their cars and can't afford to feed their families unless they go to a food bank or work two or three jobs........nobody is going to give Mickey one thin dime.
Kyle, I really feel you are missing out on fun happenings at Universal. I appreciate your loyalty to Disney but branch out more to the other parks. Seaworld and Universal would be a nice change of pace.
Then i suggest you watch those content creators that does that stuff, kyle has said he don’t like universal as much as Disney and we have never seen him at sea world i dont think, he used to work for disney as well he built this channel around Disney , jojos world does some universal and sea world content I suggest you watch him or watch coaster studios lol
Yeah, Disney is too expensive. When you buy a Universal Studios pass, the Fast Pass is included with it. I don't have to buy it every single time I go and waste my money on a fast pass. Disney nickel-and-dimes you for absolutely everything, and quite frankly, there are too many Failed movies at this point that are just boring and just cash grabs and for some reason they don't take the advice of the people and just keep making these crappy movies and putting things in them that people dont want to see. They don't want to change the for the customers. Why would i want to go. Plus, all I have to do is watch your videos, and it's like I'm at Disney. I don't have to pay for it, and I guess I can feel the nostalgia. In my opinion, Universal is so much better. Plus, they're building the new Epic Universe, which is awesome! Why can't Disney do something like that? They make way more money than Universal ever has, plus Universal doesn't nickel-and-dime you for absolutely everything, and they don't get political at all, which is very nice. What Disney has to do is go back to how they were and lower the prices, especially for people today. They have so much money beyond belief. They could totally lower the prices for people who are struggling. There are people who don't have a lot of money in general right now. They can't afford it.
Reasons not to go to Disney on 4th of July week in no particular order: A- Expected large crowds B- Huge cost incurred to go. Especially in a family group. C-Florida summer heat and rain D- Pressure to plan every minute in advance or you think you won't have the best time *E- Backlash for Disney political stance. Possibly. Wasn't sure how to phrase this. I know there is more... I have been a pass holder in the past but stopped just before covid. We went last year in December and had a great time and will go again this December. Love your shows Kyle
It seems that things are just getting back to pre-2020 trends, summer crowds had been dropping for years before Covid. In 2019 we were shocked that our late June trip had much lower crowds than our September trip! The last few years were just weird with how the crowds were throughout the year, probably having practically year round festivals for the past 3-4 years helped a bit (although I'm so happy we're back to pre-2020 festival dates, love me some diet Epcot!). Also doesn't help that Disney stripped away all the resort perks (thankfully at least one is coming back soon), and the prices have been steadily increasing. We're APs so will keep going, amazing how much money those save, but if we had to buy tickets for each trip we'd probably have to drop down to just a single trip a year.
China’s political situation deteriorated. Don’t go there. It will be a better use of time and money to visit Fantasy Springs in Tokyo DisneySeas unless you already went there.
I’m here now and I can tell you it’s too hot to be out there. We are only in the park in spurts…you can’t be in the park all day. It’s really hit or miss.
I would still go to Epcot with test track down. Guardians, frozen, remy’s and drinking around the world would bring me in still. I think it’s just because people are saving Epcot for the 4th
Test Track… why, after driving 15 hours at or over 65 miles an hour would we want wait in line and go on a ride for a few minutes at 60 miles an hour? 😂
it's not only the price guys, Test Track is in renovation, Epcot has just guardians of galaxy or frozen but that's it, a main attraction like Test Track and the crowd is less
I just moved back to Florida and was previously a Disney annual passholder, and grew up going every year. One day at Volcano Bay proved to me that Universal AP is the move right now. So long Disney!
Kyle, July 4th fell this year in the middle of a week and not on a weekend. The schedule is more challenging. You really should check the wait-times before you enter a park. Genie Plus really wasn’t needed for Epcot. You have an annual pass. You can go on anything you want whenever you need to.
Yes. Virtual queue doesn’t work for us as we’re never in park after 12:00 pm. Even when a hotel guest I can’t get in virtual queue before 2pm. I’m not paying for it either. Total ripoff. Yes yes yes. Standby line!
Why would I spend almost $10k for a week with my family to sleep in a small room that looks like a generic Hilton, stand in long lines in the heat, and eat mediocre overpriced food?
@@mickeytollisonI love Disney parks which is why it's upsetting to see how they are pricing out middle class patrons all while lowering the quality of product
@@markw34557 nights in a deluxe is around $5k. Add in park tickets, genie, food, airline, merch, and you can easily get to $10k for a week with a family of 4.
Happy 4th Kyle!!! Honestly all I'm hearing from Disney lovers is "WOW" IT'S SO EXPENSIVE TO SPEND A DAY AT DISNEY. That most families just can't afford it like before. You have a wonderful time and tell that Casey HI😊
I am in Hawaii at the Disney Aulani resort. It’s very busy here, families from all over the world. Resorts are different than the parks of course but still big crowds.
Father/son getaway from Chicago to WDW a week from today! Hoping the low crowds continue through our trip. Hitting all 4 parks and Typhoon Lagoon. Test Track being down is not a deal breaker.
When Dinosaurs roamed Florida😂, in the 1960's, people Vacationed there and went to the Beaches, what a concept😅! Little children loved it, so did Mom and Dad,and many motels, actually had air conditioners! Cheap food cheap, motels, free beaches😅
Hey Kyle, Happy 4th to you. I hope the low crowds stay but my guess is they'll be back as soon as I land 😂🤣 I'll definitely check out the Zootopia exhibit - I forgot about that spot in China, it's a great place to escape crowds and the heat and that pulled chicken sandwich looked great!!
@@edwardjones1482 $190 is not a dollar and that’s not even getting On every ride! If you enjoy paying those prices more power to you! Have a great day.
And adding woke agendas you think parents don’t see what’s happening I’m glad my kid went 2 years ago never again and she’s older now she don’t care for Disney
FINALLY! Guests are standing up and yelling Disney, "NO MORE! The normal, middle class family CANNOT afford Disney NO MORE!" You get a better deal at Universal...Disney will be hurting even more when Epic Universe opens...I say GOOD! because they are not doing anything...if you think today is empty...wait until next year. I think Disney is counting on Annual Pass Holders and DVC to keep parks running!!!! If you agree, type YES **Kyle, show us what Mk looks like**
I love how people think universal doesn’t have high prices also.. have you seen the price of their fast pass or the cost of their shuttle bus from the airport? They are just as guilty. All resort theme parks including Disney have always had random weeks where it’s inexplicably quiet so it’s not as big of a deal as you think.
The heat has never stopped ppl from going to theme parks stop being a Disney puppy its the prices. And the other parks djsn the street have better deals
Hmmm. I wished I knew it was going to be empty on July 4th. I went to 3 parks this week: magic kingdom, Hollywood and animal kingdom and they were so full of people the waiting time was insane couldn’t even go to some rides because they were not taking more people for the day ..
We were there a few weeks ago for Tianas AP preview and normally EP is a 2 day park, open to close. But with no festival we actually got to take it slow, ate at Tepan Edo, since we normally fill up on booths, and we basically did a half day, starting in the evening for rides, then ate and closed the park. It was awesome to be able to enjoy parts of the park we normally miss because of the festival busy-ness.
Went to Disney once in May and said never ever again. Florida hot is a different hot. 😂 I have heard from a few people they are going to parks early leaving by 11 then coming back after dinner. There's just no physical way to stay in that heat all day. I'd bet at 8pm you'd be seeing a different park.
We used to go to Disney 6-8 times a year being dvc and annual pass holders. We are not maybe doing 2/3 trips if that and now with the das we aren’t going anymore. They lost us we didn’t renew and we are selling our dvc we will go to universal and other parks that allow us to show medical proof.
The heat index is 104 F today. It’s funny, Jenny Nicholson did a “Disney Day for my Worst Enemy” video and she correctly picked out July 4 as the worst day to consider going to a US Disney park. They have fireworks every day at Disney parks but they have fireworks in LOTS of other places on July 4th so why go to Disney for fireworks? You expect it to be crowded though! If I knew it would be the opposite of expected and that you can walk from AC building to AC building without waiting and get right on rides, I might consider going. It’s the prospect of the extreme heat PLUS believing it will be crowded that keeps me out of Disney in the summer … let alone a holiday. Test Track is not a factor for me at all. That ride annoys me because it breaks down so much! It’s fun but NOT worth the wait the common breakdowns cause it. When I went with my sister in February, we were determined to preview everything for the next time when we had our niece and nephew with us to properly plan. We used Lightning Lane; waited 20 minutes, told it was broken down while we were still further back in line. So we left because we were told we’d get another Lightening Lane when it reopened. Then when it reopened, got to the front of the line after about a half hour. We were literally right before the doors when it broke down again! So because we were first, we stayed and waited another 45 minutes. That’s when I remembered why I always thought that ride wasn’t all that back when it first opened. The break downs insure there will ALWAYS be a long wait and it’s an exercise in frustration because it’s a buggy ride that ALWAYS breaks down! My sister and I determined we’d try to hide the existence of the ride from my 5 year old nephew who loves cars actually. So I was HAPPY to hear it was down and I hope it’s still down in late September when we are going so it won’t be an issue. But an uncrowded Epcot or a water park are the only ones I might consider in a 104 F heat index because most of the queues in Epcot have good AC if the lines are that short and don’t extend to the outside part. But I live in Miami, I can wait until fall … it might still be hot in Sept but hopefully not THAT hot.

I assure you that Test Track isn't a good enough ride (IMO) to determine whether or not I go to Epcot. I think the rising cost of a Disney vacation plus rising costs of transportation to get there plus inflation that hits every other aspect of people's daily budgets are more than likely resulting in the lower crowds right now. And it doesn't help that planning a Disney vacation has just become unnecessarily complicated for the average person.
it's because it's too expensive and the value for the price is no longer there....Disney management is out of touch with the average American and Walt's original vision. They are too busy with woke politics and money grabs instead of putting their energy into making entertaining films and quality park experiences. Sad.
Disney is widely known as the greediest place on earth and as Disney continues to raise prices and gouge customers you can expect it to become more and more empty. The average Disney park goer is no longer willing to submit to their outrageous prices for mediocre food and spend half of their day standing in lines for attractions that may break down or be evacuated at any moment. Disney has deservedly earned the reputation of being a ripoff destination.
Really or is it 100 degrees out? Also Six Flags charges 9 bucks for a large soda. ..so who is greediest
@@shawnokeefe1580A lot of people jumping in claiming doom for Disney because 100 degree temps and an economy struggling due to inflation. 😂😂
Unless you’re in the know and extremely computer savvy it has become impossible to navigate the rides and times etc. besides the outrageous prices for far less and constantly broken down rides. Also it has become impossible to feed a family of 4 and is heart breaking to have to deprive your children a treat because you can’t afford it after spend thousands of dollars on a disappointing vacation that was once so magical when we were children! 😢💔😢
@@user-ek5du4dp3fYou sound like Six Flags may be a better choice for you. Depriving?? 😂😂 Kids in Africa are deprived!
It's a simple concept. Disney can charge what they want if people are willing to pay for it. Sure people can complain online about it being expensive, but at the end of the day people are still paying for it.
We're local and prefer Disney over Universal but Disney has a problem . Universal is as simple as you can get , you can get a season pass that allows you express or express unlimited and season passes you can get express after 4 ,You don't need a smart phone ,Genie ,Genie plus ,ligtning lane and it's as simple as possible . Somebody sold Disney a bill of goods and they bought it .
Disney literally has the worst food in their parks. And you will pay over $100 for 3 people to eat non nutritious garbage.
Well they got the rich crowd ... since the rest of us are struggling with those PRICES!
Disney has gotten ver expensive for the average family
Is this a real question? The price gouging started before the pandemic. Insane resort prices, taking away all the perks that came with being a resort guest like free fast pass and transportation from the airport, etc… It goes on and on. People can go down the street for half the price with more up to date attractions and experiences. JMO
We have dropped down to one trip every two years, ( I know first world problems) there’s just nothing new that’s worth the cost.
Seriously you don't know why Disney isn't as crowded? Everyone was at Sea World and Universal Studios. Sea World was at capacity and had to turn people away and Universal was insanely busy. Guess Why? Disney has turned away from family values, had only 1/4 of their usual July 4th decor up. People are getting sick of it. Their firework show on the 4th was only 7 minutes long, where Sea Worlds was 26 mins long, celebrating our nation. Its all over tic toc and IG where everyone was.
Heat has never stopped large crowds before. Holidays have never stopped large crowds before. I know what I hear on other channels as to why and from people on the street as to why. They aren’t saying it’s the heat. Plenty of ways to deal with the heat. Believing the crowds will be large doesn’t create a smaller crowd size. Everyone knows Christmas is crowded and it stays crowded. Heat, holidays, and crowds isn’t the reason. Also this low crowd situation has been going on for awhile. I hope Disney gets in front of this. One way would be to drop ticket prices as a temporary sell for the rest of the year and announce this immediately so people can plan a trip this fall. If they don’t do things fast enough they won’t get the trip planners from other states who care about saving money on ticket prices. Locals have annual passes and can make last minute decisions to go without the need for lower ticket prices. They need to hire people who understand normal people who plan trips. I don’t think the people in charge have a clue what we have to do to create a trip from several states away to come there for the week. Or they do understand and they just don’t want us.
We were there that day! I saw you in line at Regal Eagle and the day before at Studios....and the wait times were great all day! It was scorching, so that could have something to do with crowds. Love all the videos and me and Cash will keep watching daily!
Note that this video is NOT from July 4th, which was super packed at EPCOT. It’s no mystery why July 3rd and 5th were empty: people on vacation were choosing to wait until the 4th to go to EPCOT because of the big July 4th fireworks.
Disney is running a $99/day special for 4 parks this summer, but each ticket is only good for 1 park. On July 4th itself EPCOT was packed. This means the days before and after the 4th at the fireworks parks had lighter attendance.
It’s as simple as that. Kyle’s boyish naïveté is charming, but in-depth analysis is not exactly his forte.
When people are living in their cars and can't afford to feed their families unless they go to a food bank or work two or three jobs........nobody is going to give Mickey one thin dime.
Kyle, I really feel you are missing out on fun happenings at Universal. I appreciate your loyalty to Disney but branch out more to the other parks. Seaworld and Universal would be a nice change of pace.
Then i suggest you watch those content creators that does that stuff, kyle has said he don’t like universal as much as Disney and we have never seen him at sea world i dont think, he used to work for disney as well he built this channel around Disney , jojos world does some universal and sea world content I suggest you watch him or watch coaster studios lol
@@edwardjones1482 you mean other content creators go to other parks? I had no idea!
It would give him much more to cover
Maybe crowds are down because they are disappointed when they order bread pudding, but receive banana pudding.
That made me laugh out loud! I thought the same thing when I saw his pudding! 😀
That’s not BREAD pudding it’s banana pudding. 😅
Kyle we love your videos. Been watching at least 3-4 years. Can’t thank you enough
With the cost to feed a family these days people can't afford vacation. It's the time we are in.
Yeah, Disney is too expensive. When you buy a Universal Studios pass, the Fast Pass is included with it. I don't have to buy it every single time I go and waste my money on a fast pass. Disney nickel-and-dimes you for absolutely everything, and quite frankly, there are too many Failed movies at this point that are just boring and just cash grabs and for some reason they don't take the advice of the people and just keep making these crappy movies and putting things in them that people dont want to see. They don't want to change the for the customers. Why would i want to go.
Plus, all I have to do is watch your videos, and it's like I'm at Disney. I don't have to pay for it, and I guess I can feel the nostalgia. In my opinion, Universal is so much better. Plus, they're building the new Epic Universe, which is awesome! Why can't Disney do something like that? They make way more money than Universal ever has, plus Universal doesn't nickel-and-dime you for absolutely everything, and they don't get political at all, which is very nice.
What Disney has to do is go back to how they were and lower the prices, especially for people today. They have so much money beyond belief. They could totally lower the prices for people who are struggling. There are people who don't have a lot of money in general right now. They can't afford it.
The can't cause they are losing too much money in their tv and movie divisions
Reasons not to go to Disney on 4th of July week in no particular order:
A- Expected large crowds
B- Huge cost incurred to go. Especially in a family group.
C-Florida summer heat and rain
D- Pressure to plan every minute in advance or you think you won't have the best time
*E- Backlash for Disney political stance. Possibly. Wasn't sure how to phrase this.
I know there is more...
I have been a pass holder in the past but stopped just before covid. We went last year in December and had a great time and will go again this December.
Love your shows Kyle
disney is absurbly overpriced for theme parks. but then again its one of the best
It seems that things are just getting back to pre-2020 trends, summer crowds had been dropping for years before Covid. In 2019 we were shocked that our late June trip had much lower crowds than our September trip! The last few years were just weird with how the crowds were throughout the year, probably having practically year round festivals for the past 3-4 years helped a bit (although I'm so happy we're back to pre-2020 festival dates, love me some diet Epcot!). Also doesn't help that Disney stripped away all the resort perks (thankfully at least one is coming back soon), and the prices have been steadily increasing. We're APs so will keep going, amazing how much money those save, but if we had to buy tickets for each trip we'd probably have to drop down to just a single trip a year.
My family and I decided to go to Cancun instead and other family members decided to book Hawaii instead. Its just to expensive right now.
China’s political situation deteriorated. Don’t go there. It will be a better use of time and money to visit Fantasy Springs in Tokyo DisneySeas unless you already went there.
So excited that you are coming to down Boca!
Would you say that the crowd projection sites like undercover tourist which is my go to aren't accurate so far this summer?
All I wear is black. Summer is no different.
What song did you get on that road and have you gotten that song before and how many times
Love an empty park. It is getting very expensive for disney.
I’m here now and I can tell you it’s too hot to be out there. We are only in the park in spurts…you can’t be in the park all day. It’s really hit or miss.
I only go in spring and fall
I would still go to Epcot with test track down. Guardians, frozen, remy’s and drinking around the world would bring me in still. I think it’s just because people are saving Epcot for the 4th
The other parks are having low attendance too. It's not an individual park thing
Test Track… why, after driving 15 hours at or over 65 miles an hour would we want wait in line and go on a ride for a few minutes at 60 miles an hour? 😂
it's not only the price guys, Test Track is in renovation, Epcot has just guardians of galaxy or frozen but that's it, a main attraction like Test Track and the crowd is less
Remember back then when you could get a ticket for sixty dollars to 70 those where the days
I just moved back to Florida and was previously a Disney annual passholder, and grew up going every year. One day at Volcano Bay proved to me that Universal AP is the move right now. So long Disney!
Kyle, July 4th fell this year in the middle of a week and not on a weekend. The schedule is more challenging. You really should check the wait-times before you enter a park. Genie Plus really wasn’t needed for Epcot. You have an annual pass. You can go on anything you want whenever you need to.
We were there last week and it was empty also! The Guardians of Galaxy ride was awesome tho!!!
Yes. Virtual queue doesn’t work for us as we’re never in park after 12:00 pm. Even when a hotel guest I can’t get in virtual queue before 2pm. I’m not paying for it either. Total ripoff. Yes yes yes. Standby line!
Happy 4th Kyle and Casey enjoy Boca can't wait for the vlogs well back to work Toodles
Why would I spend almost $10k for a week with my family to sleep in a small room that looks like a generic Hilton, stand in long lines in the heat, and eat mediocre overpriced food?
Sounds like Six Flags is the park for you!
If you are paying $10k to go to Disney you are over paying. I can go on Disney cruise for that price.
@@mickeytollisonI love Disney parks which is why it's upsetting to see how they are pricing out middle class patrons all while lowering the quality of product
@@markw34557 nights in a deluxe is around $5k. Add in park tickets, genie, food, airline, merch, and you can easily get to $10k for a week with a family of 4.
Six nights at Wyndham Bonnet Creek - $1200 with free airfare!❤. Opens you up to other parks and attractions!
Happy 4th Kyle!!! Honestly all I'm hearing from Disney lovers is "WOW" IT'S SO EXPENSIVE TO SPEND A DAY AT DISNEY. That most families just can't afford it like before. You have a wonderful time and tell that Casey HI😊
I am in Hawaii at the Disney Aulani resort. It’s very busy here, families from all over the world. Resorts are different than the parks of course but still big crowds.
Father/son getaway from Chicago to WDW a week from today! Hoping the low crowds continue through our trip. Hitting all 4 parks and Typhoon Lagoon. Test Track being down is not a deal breaker.
The flag people!!!😂😂
Soooooo Strange that it’s soooo empty a t m?!?!?!
I like going through the different lands & tasting the delicious food.
Happy 4th Kyle and Casey
Might be due to the DAS changes, if the disabled member can't go and enjoy themselves, the whole family isn't going either.
The economy, Disney outrageous prices , changing of D.A.S ….
There is so much to see and do at Epcot without test track….. our favorite park
When Dinosaurs roamed Florida😂, in the 1960's, people Vacationed there and went to the Beaches, what a concept😅! Little children loved it, so did Mom and Dad,and many motels, actually had air conditioners! Cheap food cheap, motels, free beaches😅
Happy 4th of July! ❤️🇺🇸 Always great seeing a new daily dose of magic! Enjoy your beach trip!
Hey Kyle, Happy 4th to you. I hope the low crowds stay but my guess is they'll be back as soon as I land 😂🤣 I'll definitely check out the Zootopia exhibit - I forgot about that spot in China, it's a great place to escape crowds and the heat and that pulled chicken sandwich looked great!!
More and more of my friends have stopped going to Disney world they no longer feel it’s worth the money
Price, price, and value for that price.
Disney has chosen sides. They have also out priced their audience. People are tired of the ridiculous costs.
Sorry that Disney doesn’t cost $1 to get in sir 😂😂😂
@@edwardjones1482 Shill!!
@@edwardjones1482 $190 is not a dollar and that’s not even getting On every ride! If you enjoy paying those prices more power to you! Have a great day.
@@jdrew5367What? Of course the basic ticket gets you on all of the rides!
And adding woke agendas you think parents don’t see what’s happening I’m glad my kid went 2 years ago never again and she’s older now she don’t care for Disney
FINALLY! Guests are standing up and yelling Disney, "NO MORE! The normal, middle class family CANNOT afford Disney NO MORE!"
You get a better deal at Universal...Disney will be hurting even more when Epic Universe opens...I say GOOD! because they are not doing anything...if you think today is empty...wait until next year.
I think Disney is counting on Annual Pass Holders and DVC to keep parks running!!!! If you agree, type YES
**Kyle, show us what Mk looks like**
I don’t 😂
@@edwardjones1482 SHILL !!!!
@@garystrankman3841 I’m sorry if Disney is too expensive for you 😂
I love how people think universal doesn’t have high prices also.. have you seen the price of their fast pass or the cost of their shuttle bus from the airport? They are just as guilty. All resort theme parks including Disney have always had random weeks where it’s inexplicably quiet so it’s not as big of a deal as you think.
Geez. From the comments, you'd think the place used to be some kind of beloved Aryan Nation.
The heat has never stopped ppl from going to theme parks stop being a Disney puppy its the prices. And the other parks djsn the street have better deals
Speaking from my and my fam- We passed on disney this year so we can do epic universe next year
Hmmm. I wished I knew it was going to be empty on July 4th. I went to 3 parks this week: magic kingdom, Hollywood and animal kingdom and they were so full of people the waiting time was insane couldn’t even go to some rides because they were not taking more people for the day ..
Happy 4th! Seems like heat and fear of large holiday crowds would contribute to this. Plus, aren’t many passholders and CMs blocked out?
Nothing remarkable about the heat. Always hot this time of year.
Hey Kyle! I just learned about Chewie mode on Millennium Falcon! Can you do this on an upcoming video please?
Totally thought you were gonna walk through the splash zone…..I was like what is he doing!!!!
I walked around it haha
We were there a few weeks ago for Tianas AP preview and normally EP is a 2 day park, open to close. But with no festival we actually got to take it slow, ate at Tepan Edo, since we normally fill up on booths, and we basically did a half day, starting in the evening for rides, then ate and closed the park. It was awesome to be able to enjoy parts of the park we normally miss because of the festival busy-ness.
Went to Disney once in May and said never ever again. Florida hot is a different hot. 😂 I have heard from a few people they are going to parks early leaving by 11 then coming back after dinner. There's just no physical way to stay in that heat all day. I'd bet at 8pm you'd be seeing a different park.
I think it is way to expensive.
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY KYLE ENJOY THOSE FIREWORKS TONIGTH
We used to go to Disney 6-8 times a year being dvc and annual pass holders. We are not maybe doing 2/3 trips if that and now with the das we aren’t going anymore. They lost us we didn’t renew and we are selling our dvc we will go to universal and other parks that allow us to show medical proof.
surely you mean hopefully not bringing an umbrella isn't a mistake lol. Goofy Kyle within first 5 secs love it.
The heat index is 104 F today. It’s funny, Jenny Nicholson did a “Disney Day for my Worst Enemy” video and she correctly picked out July 4 as the worst day to consider going to a US Disney park. They have fireworks every day at Disney parks but they have fireworks in LOTS of other places on July 4th so why go to Disney for fireworks? You expect it to be crowded though! If I knew it would be the opposite of expected and that you can walk from AC building to AC building without waiting and get right on rides, I might consider going. It’s the prospect of the extreme heat PLUS believing it will be crowded that keeps me out of Disney in the summer … let alone a holiday. Test Track is not a factor for me at all. That ride annoys me because it breaks down so much! It’s fun but NOT worth the wait the common breakdowns cause it. When I went with my sister in February, we were determined to preview everything for the next time when we had our niece and nephew with us to properly plan. We used Lightning Lane; waited 20 minutes, told it was broken down while we were still further back in line. So we left because we were told we’d get another Lightening Lane when it reopened. Then when it reopened, got to the front of the line after about a half hour. We were literally right before the doors when it broke down again! So because we were first, we stayed and waited another 45 minutes. That’s when I remembered why I always thought that ride wasn’t all that back when it first opened. The break downs insure there will ALWAYS be a long wait and it’s an exercise in frustration because it’s a buggy ride that ALWAYS breaks down! My sister and I determined we’d try to hide the existence of the ride from my 5 year old nephew who loves cars actually. So I was HAPPY to hear it was down and I hope it’s still down in late September when we are going so it won’t be an issue. But an uncrowded Epcot or a water park are the only ones I might consider in a 104 F heat index because most of the queues in Epcot have good AC if the lines are that short and don’t extend to the outside part. But I live in Miami, I can wait until fall … it might still be hot in Sept but hopefully not THAT hot.
Do u ever do disneyland ca
yes
Disney needs to start spending $ in renovations and/or new experiences. I am bored with it.
You clearly haven’t done the “experiences” lol
Depends on what you get at Regal Eagle, some main entreees they do give you tiny portions on.
We don't go in July because of the heat🥵 Hope you're having fun in Boca! Happy 4th!
