UK visitors are quite substantial. Remember the US visitor numbers include several million Floridians with very discounted annual passes. I’m sure they would like to keep us Brits coming.
I think UK guests is 2% maybe 4% I cant remember but they could easily fill us with US using offers that potentially cost them less. I am guessing that the dont really want to do this not because of the affect in Florida but the affect it may have on the brand elsewhere, TV, Cruise and Merchandise etc

You have to remember that the Walt Disney Travel Company is a UK company and separate from the parks and resorts (albeit owned by Disney). It will have it's own targets to meet each year in regards to the number of British customers and the profits it makes. It will want British guests to increase year-on-year if it can and will issue incentives to make that happen.

I have noticed for our 2020 booking it’s restricted to certain hotels and rooms. Contemporary didn’t offer it at all and only certain rooms at Beach Club were included in Free Dining. I suspect this will increase over time.

this OCtober we are getting free dining and free car parking. Next October no dining and no free car parking...I suspect from the UK at least there will be substantially less bookings...however the food and wine festival has made October go from one of the quietest months for US visitors to one of the most popular so I can see why this has happened...
