Summary

On today’s Disney Podcast, we are speculating on what actions Disney World would take if the United States enters into a recession. With the news recently that the Real Gross Domestic Product of the USA declined for Q1 2025, many people are asking if a recession is next for the economy. We’re looking to the future and applying lessons learned from how Disney has handled downturns in the past to see what could be in store in terms of promotions, extras added to vacations to increase their value, cost-cutting measures, and more. Enjoy!
