I can’t help but wonder if Disney cares about a potential attendance decrease.
It seems like Disney is slowly trying to shift their core clientele. Instead of going after middle class families, they’re going after upper-middle-class families with more disposable income.
That group of people is smaller, but they’ll pay more. Attendance will go down, revenue will go up. Since there’s less people in the park, the parks can be staffed less which means less expenses.
If that’s true, I don’t know what that would mean for Disney long term.
I think this is exactly what they’re trying to do and they’ve been doing it at DL for a few years. I think this saying is overdone but relevant here: Walt would be rolling in his grave.
