I'm not sure about Disney, but I work retail here in Orlando. Our overall traffic has slowed down and our sales goal are not as high as last year (but we are being more profitable. . .so although our sales are down, our profits are still good!). But, with that said, we are seeing a lot of tourist from the UK and Central America in our stores and weekends are still hectic even though this is usually a slow time.

So, while Disney probably is feeling some crunch, I don't think it is as hard on them as others. . ..

but those are just my observations : )
