It’s going to take them a few years and sweeping changes to their leadership to recover.

On the airline side MCO added 50% more gates and airlines responded with more capacity. Way more supply led prices to drop which is what the first chapter in every economics textbook says will happen.

I've read in some places that advanced resort bookings is trending up 5-10% for 24.
From Iger "even in the case of Walt Disney World, where we have a tough comparison to the prior year, when you look at this year’s numbers compared to pre-pandemic levels in fiscal ’19, we have seen growth in revenue and operating income of over 25 and 30%, respectively.”
