Although it did not provide specific figures, Disney said Disney World attendance was up "more than 2 percent" during the quarter while Disneyland, in Anaheim, Calif., was "slightly down" from last year. Disney suggested its Orlando theme parks are benefitting from the huge crowds being drawn to the region by Universal Orlando's popular Wizarding World of Harry Potter." So Disney can thank Potter too for improving their bottom line. I don't buy the whole increase in guest spending due to reductions in discounting. Really? Oh and how about all those coupons that were showing up on guest reciepts for discounts on merchandise and extending the AP discount to most theme park stores. So no discounting going on there.
