Looking beyond the holiday season into 2024, we are pleased to see 2024 revenue bookings trending up double-digit percentage ahead of prior year for both 2024 groups and our Discovery Cove property. In addition, we recently launched our best pass benefits program ever which we expect will help drive increases in pass sales and a strong pass base for next year.
