Disney has provided and equipped their parks with multiple different entertainment services and multiple recreation opportunities. Spontaneity is something that Disney has excelled at providing for decades, and they show absolutely no signs of stopping anytime soon. Disney wants
To compare and contrast two memorable moments in my life is a difficult challenge for me. I have decided to choose my trips to Disney World and Universal. While both of these magnificent, magical places are located 8.5 miles from each other they are fairly similar and enormously different. Disneyworld is located in Florida, more precisely Kissimmee, but since it’s a suburb of Orlando, most people just say it’s in Orlando.
According to Voice of San Diego, a journalism website for San Diego citizens, 4.4 million people visited SeaWorld San Diego in 2012, and the park has 10 orcas. There are 2,500 to 4,500 staff members at the park. The visitors have their favorite park, but do they truly know what SeaWorld is like? Do they know how the whales they see and the trainers they meet are treated by SeaWorld? Visitors to SeaWorld should be able to know the truth to the park, which is why reading the book Beneath the Surface, written by John Hargrove, is the best decision to make.
Market Structure - Oligopoly Oligopoly is a market structure whereby a few number of firms owns a lion’s share in the market. This market structure is similar to monopoly, except that instead of one firm, two or more firms have control in the market. In an oligopoly, there are no upper limits to the number of firms, but the number must be nadir enough that the operations of one firm remarkably influence and affects the others (Investopedia, 2003). The Walt Disney Company is categorized under an oligopoly market structure.

The Disney World Resort has a massive size and is composed of four theme parks and two water parks. Due to Disney World’s massive size, the resort takes many more days to achieve the Disney experience and families must choose some attractions to not visit. While some people think that Disney World is impossible to navigate, it provides a complimentary transportation system to get from park to park and getting between theme parks and resorts. Disney World is also able to offer a wider variety and more attractions to experience than Disneyland. Also, Disney World has greater potential for expansion.

Does hearing the tagline “The Happiest place on earth” takes you on a memory lane of the very first day at Disneyland? The Walt Disney Company, was a dream of the most famous name in the animation industry and the creator of Mickey Mouse, Walt Elias Disney and now the company has estimated net worth of an about 36 billion dollars.

This may sound simple but it was a lot different than the Anaheim resort competing with the Six Flags parks in Los Angeles. However, Disney has consistently focused on high quality service and entertainment, keeping their branding relative to their family-oriented Disney characters (Disney, n.d.). Globalized Disney has been very successful due to their willingness and ability to make required adaptions for both cultural and competition purposes. This type of flexibility is often the key factor in making an organization successful when they seek to
The threats of new entrants are low since they need to invest huge money to compete with Disney. For instance, the investment of Disney theme park is very high and the time of construction is quite long. Both of the two factors make it difficult for new entrants to enter this market. Another barrier is the power of the brand name. Disney has already owned loyal customers and they will prefer to visit Disneyland and watch Disney movies first instead of other places or new
The complexity of the product offering allows customers to have numerous price points and ability to decide how much of the Disney experience they want to enjoy. For examples, the offerings include transportation, resort accommodations, and meal plans. The larger product mix creates entry into the resort, hotel, and restaurant businesses. Although Disney was not first in the theme park market, its large size and connection to kid ’s movies was revolutionary.

When you first step through the gates of the park, instantly there is excitement everywhere.

In the past four years they have been concentrating on geographic, demographic, and psychographic segmentation to locate their target market. How did they use geographic segmentation? By looking in to region of a country or the world, the market size which is, market density, or climate; that’s how they decided on the locations of Disney's theme parks such as Disneyland and Disney World which are strategically located in the world's most visited places such as, Europe, Japan, India, and of course the United States. On the other hand, they used demographic segmentation by aiming on age, gender, income, ethnic background, and family life cycle; by focusing on that it helped them determine where to place their chain stores called the Disney Store, where to distribute their movies, and even determines what kind of movie they should create next. Whereas for the psychographic segmentation, it is used based on personality, motives, lifestyles and geodemographic; through that this is will help Disney to determine who is going to buy more of their
