I don’t even necessarily disagree with you. I think though for a lot of kids, if they aren’t watching Disney, they’re playing video games. Again even if it’s just a minor thing on their phone. The same way watching Disney as a kid is ingrained in society I really do feel Video Games are one of if not the closest thing to that, if that makes sense. It’s a big challenger in terms of a theme park visit.Video Games are huge, but the idea that legions of children aren't sitting around watching Disney stuff nonstop is just not reality.
Bluey (and yes I know that isn't a Disney property) is insanely popular, and American kids are only getting that on Disney channels or D+, which leads to them getting hooked on a myriad of other shows and movies.
I think the "grown up content" on D+ (and I struggle to call it that with how badly childish a lot of D+'s "blockbuster content" is written) is atrocious, but they still know how to get kids hooked.
Also, if the interactivity of this park is a hit, that really opens up the door to guests who don’t go to Universal because the rides are too much. They’ll have plenty to do as well. The gaming aspect as a whole is untouched as guests are rarely involved in attractions unless it’s a shooter ride.
