The increase may be because Orlando is close enough to make Walt Disney World a drive-to destination.
AAA officials say that it is typically cheaper for a family of three or four in the Carolinas, to drive than fly to Orlando.
I would guess that this is the trend at the other states as well that is within reasonable driving distance to Orlando. Now couple this with the attractiveness of overseas visitors to visit the US, one can already see that WDW will continue to see the same, if not more, attendance this year despite the higher cost of fuel and other goods. So one often wonders whether analysts such as this actually really understand what they are doing when they predict a downturn at Disney theme parks. I mean, some fools predicted the same thing for the last fiscal quarter, and look at how wrong they were!
Now, add to that, USA Today had just listed WDW as one of the 5 affordable places for a US vacation.
