Market Description
The main industry of the Walt Disney Company is the Theme park division
The market for theme parks is still a fairly new concept the first Disney park open in July
of 1955.
Knott's Berry Farm and Silver Dollar city where some of americas first theme parks, and
many different parks have opened since 1955 making the market ever changing and
very competitive
Some of the Top competitors of Disney are, Universal Studios, Knott’s Berry Farm, and
Six Flags
The Disney company makes most of its money from its theme parks. Ticket sales and
merchandise are the too biggest contributors to the companies revenue.
The structural design is a competitive one. They are considered innovators within the
industry and so they have a business model that reflects this.
Factors Affecting Demand
Household income is a major park of the demand for Disney parks.
Average ticket price at WDW is $114.00 during non-peak days. This can
affect attendance due to ability to afford to visit the parks
Weather- the parks are in two different climates. WDW is in Florida which
has a very hot and humid climate, so we see an increase in attendance
during the fall and summer months.
Disneyland- This park is located in Southern California, which has a very
stable warm climate which allows for steady attendance without large
peaks and dips in attendance throughout the year.
Factors Affecting Demand
Continued
Taste within the market are changing and in order to
keep attendance up the parks have to keep evolving
creating new experiences for the guest.
Technology is also always improving allowing for new
experiences that can not be offered anywhere else.
Disney is at the top of the list when it comes in
innovation so most of the time they can offer guest
experiences they cant get anywhere else.
Factors Affecting Supply
Weather is one of the largest factor when it comes to availability within a
theme park
Inclement weather shuts down many rides at a theme park which then
leads to an increase in popularity once the ride is open again because
people want to go on rides no matter what and normally have a short time
Frame in which to do it.
Also ticket availability affects supply, parks can only hold a certain amount
of guest before they have to close the gates to incoming guest. This creates
a shortage in available spots for guest to be allowed to enter the park.
Ticket price affects supply because when tickets are cheap park will sell
many more tickets than what can be held in a park at any one time.
Statistics
Reedy Creek Improvement District
The Reedy Creek Improvement District is Disney Worlds own
personal Government.
Disney World sets fourth their own building codes and any
other regulations that want because of the Reedy Creek
improvement District
This allows them more creative freedom within the parks,
because they can change the regulations to favor there
business and only need to comply with federal and state
regulations.
