Disney's history of "not investing." These are the capital expenditures on domestic parks 'and experiences' in billions of dollars in fiscal years ending...
2018: 3.2
2019: 3.3
2020: 2.1
2021: 2.3
2022: 2.2 so far for 3 quarters, estimated 2.8 for the year.

You can spend billion on bad buys in the stock market too….
It’s not that they don’t spend money it’s that they spend it poorly.

The claim that they weren't was the point of what I posted. The quality of spending wasn't the issue.

My point was I think there’s some convolution at play. People assume they don’t spent x y z because they don’t see it. I’m simply pointing out why.

Valid.
The same ones also delayed by the pandemic during which Disney supposedly retreated from doing anything?

Well... that's because one of the planned attractions isn't happening (at least, not at opening), so, its space becomes added to the expansion space.

It was originally moved to USF as an expansion to Diagon Alley before being ultimately scrapped because Universal creative didn't think the final version would've been a strong attraction.
For Epic Universe it was reportedly replaced by the extreme spinning coaster that will be located in the Classic Monsters land. In my book, this is an upgrade to the opening day attractions line-up!

I thought the spinning coaster replaced the theater show for Monsters Land?
It did. The cancelled Wizarding World attraction has no replacement as far as we know.

It did! I should've made it clear that the Broomstick VR experience was "replaced" in the sense that another attraction was added (in another land) after it was scrapped.
That's not a replacement though. The new Monsters attraction is replacing a previously proposed Monsters attraction (a show.) The VR attraction will be replaced when its own plot isn't sitting empty.
