The Walt Disney World Resort is playing host to much smaller crowds this summer than it did in previous years. Theme park experts say families are staying away because of record heat, rising costs, and their decisions to visit at other times of the year.
After two years of strong post-pandemic numbers, Disney’s summer numbers are dropping, according to the latest data collected by the travel company Touring Plans. The figures include one of the lowest recorded park crowds for the Fourth of July in recent history.
