Any idea if the Indiana Jones plan is shifting to DHS instead?I could be wrong. But yeah, what I've heard is MK and HS are the focus.
This is all off the top of my head, so help me clarify my thinking here.
The thing I don't know is whether the strategy Disney's betting on is:
Strategy #1 seems to make sense if Disney sees a need to get people in the door. So if surveys say "I'm not coming because there's nothing new", even after everything that's been added to EPCOT, then adding to MK makes sense. Lots of people think WDW === MK.
- Add to already-popular parks -or-
- Add to less-popular parks
Strategy #2 seems to make sense if they need to get people to stay longer. Like, people are coming, but they're only going to 2 parks instead of 3 or 4.
I mention strategy #2 because I recently got an email asking for advice about G+. When I asked for details about the trip, the response was "We're doing 2 days at MK, 1 at EP, and 1 at HS."
I would love to see how many people are skipping AK like that. And this person has a 2-BR at BLT for a week. They have the money and the time.
I think single IP lands work well at DHS. They should just go all in on that at DHS at this point to fit in with Star Wars & Toy Story. Then have more general lands for the other 3 parks.Ideally they'd build something that isn't a single IP land.
The only way I think general lands would work in DHS is if they were based off of genres, but SW & TS being specific to one IP kinda ruins that.
