Yes it is literally impossible that the 7% occupancy number is accurate. A really bad day at POR would be in the 80s. Disney is exceptionally good at using price to balance hotel demand.
as a data addict, I was incredibly shocked and stand by what I heard. my weekly visits to POR (sometimes parking lots and buses were packed- sometimes the place was a ghost town) Pointed to less demand than some of you believe.
Considering I have no physical proof of occupancy to stand on, I’ll not plead that case any further.
but I do disagree with Disney being exceptional good at filling rooms in the the early 2000s-2015. Now they’ve instituted more marketing strategies to fill the rooms and drive demand (FOA in January was an incredible move, as an example)
this whole thing started because POR is moving October reservations, and based on past moves by disney to shut down the resort permanently , I don’t see it opening this year, and maybe not next year either.
supply and demand for Disney is anyone’s guess, though this spring break season will be a big indicator of demand and fiscal outlook.
