Part 2/8:
Disney has launched a new program offering free dining packages for bookings made between January 2nd and February 10th, for trips taken from May 27th to June 26th and again from July 7th to August 6th. This is notable timing as it coincides with the opening of Universal's Epic Universe on May 22nd.
- Two Perspectives: According to the hosts, there are two ways to view this announcement. First, it could indicate that Disney is desperate to compete and draw crowds away from Universal. Alternatively, it may be an attempt to leverage the excitement surrounding Epic Universe, enticing visitors to choose Disney for their vacation while also planning a trip to Universal.
