The industry is watching Disney's new California Adventure, which got a slow start during the unusually damp winter. Walt Disney Co.'s new California Adventure theme park, which opened amid much fanfare two months ago, is especially in need of a big summer. But things are finally picking up and we feel good about summer. Our bookings look strong. . . . Everything is pointing to a strong season.
Parks are recession resilient.
People just don't want to cut back here. Spring has been fairly busy so far, but not nearly like it usually is. We have many people who simply aren't making reservations like they normally would. They're waiting to see where their money is. We have three new coasters opening this summer, which will give us more than any other park in the world.
