HP has widespread appeal and very very dedicated fans. I am a Disney enthusiast too but will definitely be checking HP out when it comes. I think it is likely that the Beastly Kingdom could be a big draw and very cool. I personally hope that the HP opening spurs it back off the drawing board and into reality.

If they claim big gate numbers and the reviews go wild for Potter you can bet your buns Disney will respond. It does not matter in the least if WDW attendance is effected, only if Universal’s is.

But I will wait to see if there is even a slight dent. Will there be guests who decide to spend a day at IOA instead of all 7 at WDW? I doubt that myself.

That's a good one! Seriously, I don't think the boy wizard will impact WDW attendence in any significant measure. The U-parks may see a slight bump as the Potterphiles (TM) crash the gates to get their geek on, but, IMHO, most of those guests will still visit Mickey and friends if they enjoy WDW as well. “if the Wizarding World of Harry Potter starts to effect Disney attendance”
