On November 4, 2009, during an earnings call that was broadcast telephonically and via the internet, Kim Schaefer, Chief Executive Officer, and James Calder, Chief Financial Officer of the registrant, disclosed the following information:
During third quarter 2009, approximately 70% of the guest reservations, at the resorts operated by the registrant and its subsidiaries, were made in a 30-day window prior to the guest's stay and approximately 48% were made in the two-week window before the stay. During third quarter 2008, those statistics were 66% made within 30 days of the stay and 46% within two weeks of the stay.
Total same store repeat and referral guests in the third quarter 2009 increased 3.9% compared to the third quarter 2008 and increased 6.8% in the registrant's "Generation Two" resorts versus prior year. Repeat and referral guests made up approximately 58% and 60% of the occupancy at the consolidated and Generation Two resorts respectively.
The Concord, North Carolina Great Wolf Lodge resort is performing slightly better than did the Williamsburg resort at the same point in its life cycle. Williamsburg opened in late March, 2006, at approximately the same time as Concord opened in 2009. Occupancy is 9% higher than was true for Williamsburg for third quarter 2006 and revenue is 9% higher.
