How to Read a Value Date Correctly
- Lower price usually means Disney expects softer demand.
- It does not cancel out a bad week like spring break or late October.
- Tuesday through Thursday value dates are usually stronger than Monday value dates.
- Clusters of value dates are often more useful than any one date by itself.
