The other piece of this that isn't accounted for is the demand on family budgets that didn't previously exist - cable, internet, cell phones, streaming services, higher grocery prices, higher insurance costs. The family budget is getting squeezed hard before any of these pleasant weekend outings or vacations. And then when you do get to the park, concessions, upgrades and other upsells make the entry-level experience feel subpar.
