Disney World and Rivals Roll With the Changes
The summer travel season as we know it is coming to an end, but that also means new challenges for Central Florida's theme park operators. Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS), Universal Orlando parent Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA), and SeaWorld Entertainment (NYSE: SEAS) have done a commendable job of reopening their gated attractions safely and productively in the middle of a brutal pandemic. Now it's time for the next big test.
The next few months won't be easy. Schools are back in session across the state, and that means a dearth of weekday local visitors. Disney isn't exactly a hotbed for out-of-state visitors, but the seasonal slowdown will also weigh into tourists that stay on-site, spend more money, and often come for at least a week or more. The next test may make this summer's reopening process seem like a cakewalk.
