Hey,
In today's DisUnplugged Podcast, the team discussed Universal building hotels (value hotels?) and when is going to be the point when Disney has to lower their hotel prices to compete with Universal, and/or are more people going to stay at Universal and travel to Disney. I believe it was Steve that brought up, how would that affect the crowd levels? Since more people would be able to afford (at least the hotel) coming to Disney again, would crowds become even worse?
Hypothetically-speaking, and, I don't know how much of a stretch this is, does anybody see the parks reaching capacity more often being a problem if crowds get worse? I've heard of Christmas, New Year's, maybe the 4th of July reaching capacity. If Disney lowered their prices, and more people were choosing to stay at Universal and coming to Disney themselves, what if the stress of having to worry about whether the parks reach capacity was added to your vacation and happened on a pretty regular basis?
Does anyone see that happening? Could Disney function like that? I don't know about the first question, but I don't think Disney could function. I surely would have a hard time going back if I knew that I needed to make efforts to be first in the door if I wanted a chance of getting in the parks.
What does everyone think about this, though? Hypothetical of course, and, as stated, I don't know how much of a stretch this is as I don't know how close Disney parks come to reaching capacity even during the busiest seasons. I just wanted to hear different opinions.
