Very soon they will be begging

2022-08-12

Very soon they will be begging people to come back to their theme parks. If major news outlet reported people start cutting back on discretionary spending and start to proportion more to food and energy, these "non essential" services will decline. Expected to see this in the next 2 earnings quarter. [Sad]

Disney Annual Passes May Not Be Coming Back Anytime Soon
