I don't think that's an incorrect statement to say it's too expensive for most Americans, even if there's still high traffic at the parks.
I don't think that's an incorrect statement to say it's too expensive for most Americans, even if there's still high traffic at the parks. Disney has become significantly less accessible for the average family of 4. Aside from ticket costs, there's almost nothing free in the parks anymore... you have to pay for lightning lane passes for all the cool rides, there's minimal live entertainment, etc. The demographics have significantly shifted. Only 1/3 visitors now come from households with children under 18, and millennials and gen z have started taking frequent trips (friend groups, couples, etc). So while they still get the same number of "attendance", the demographics have started to shift toward older, more affluent repeat visitors.
