More Bad News for Disney

 
     
  Disney is not having a good year. First there's the Pearl Harbor debacle, then their other big summer release, Atlantis, has a disappointing opening weekend, and now it seems their new park is struggling.

California Adventure was opened in February, but interest has been somewhat underwhelming. It has only managed to attract between 9,000 to 12,000 guests instead of the anticipated 19,000. Time for discount tickets.

The special discount tickets for Southern California residents are usually offered in the winter when business is slow. The fact that they're offering them at peak season is not a good sign. Of course they're not offering them for DisneyLand, only for California Adventure.

News flash: Southern California residents already live in California! Why on earth would we want to pony up $33 (that's the discount price) to see Santa Monica Pier? We can drive to Santa Monica and see the real pier for free. And it has an actual ocean!

I think the guys at Disney need to take a nice relaxing holiday. They're starting to gibber.
