Is Gen Z less excited about Disney than previous gens?At Disney’s D23 fan conference last weekend, there appeared to be significantly fewer 12-27-year-old attendees than in previous years. Fans also noticed shorter lines for panels that featured new Disney releases, like the Percy Jackson and the Olympians Disney+ series compared to a classic like Toy Story. However, Disney thinks that rising inflation has affected everything from park tickets to streaming services and even tickets for fan events. But overall, it seems the fandom was a bigger deal for Millennials—and they’re the ones who seem to be reshaping the plans for the Disney parks. (The Guardian)
