From now until a redo of EPCOT looks like a five year plan for WDW. I'm sure there is no official five-year schedule for Walt Disney World but it's a good number to work with.
WDW is in a potentially long term attendance decline. It has woefully neglected reinvesting in its parks while positioning itself as premium destination. This was bound to happen sooner or later. It is common sense that you can't keep cutting and neglecting and raising prices.
1. Is this what Disney needs to do to halt the decline or is all of this merely a first step?
2. Does Walt Disney World have the long-term will to fix the parks or will budget-cutting get in the way?
3. Will Walt Disney World keep its position as the primary choice of Orlando park visitors or will Universal catch up and possibly surpass them?
4. Are the the announced and rumored improvements to the parks what is needed or should they be going in a different direction?
Much of this has been covered in a variety of threads but it's rarely talked about as an overall strategy of Walt Disney World. I do feel that when you look at what WDW does in a broader context it makes more sense.
