I think you, sadly, nailed it
Ah. Welcome back.

That would seem like a strange conclusion. They have way more data on RoE than they do RoL, so it would be weird for them to use data on the latter to make decisions regarding the former.
Unless guests were also giving RoE poor feedback.
There’s been concerns over RoE over the last few years. However the IP inclusion for the new show is part mandate from Burbank and part being told the response to HEA.

Well then people are stupid and everything is stupid.
Just another way of saying, "We cater to the lowest common denominator".
And the problem isn't "hating all things IP-related". If some could read and comprehend what's been stated multiple times in this thread in a few hours alone, it's the EXECUTION that lacks. IP inclusion can work, but their current approach is square-peg-round-hole.
And booting the bald-headed merch goon currently running P&R up the corporate food chain isn't going to fix P&R, because he's going to get a like-minded minion to take his place and keep his policies going. Booting him out the door would be a good start, though.

The last time I was there it wasn’t even full. But it was also September.
We were there in September and was standing room only.

The thing I'm learning is that the lowest common denominator also appears to be the majority. It's not a bell curve where a small number of people crave stupidity and a small number of people crave art, with most people falling somewhere in between. Most people are on the "prefer stupidity" end of the spectrum.
I tend to be on the "pixie duster" side of things, but my eyes were opened when I saw Mickey's Mix Magic for the first time. Of the top-five awful things I've seen in Disney Parks, that is by far #1 (followed by the current state of the Imagination Pavilion, breakfast at Be Our Guest, the new Disney Junior show, and one night I spent in a pre-refurb Caribbean Beach room).

I still love Disney and I'm not even anti-this-change. @mikejs78 got me fired up about Reflections of Earth, which I'm colossally bummed about.

“Haters gonna hate,” per usual.
I like the idea - drawing the link from Disney’s nature films to a glimpse of a character based on that animal. You reach a broader audience - the folks who are there for the animals, and those who are there for the characters. No harm done, and keep the kids interested.
Your fairly offensive error here is referring to guests who will enjoy this as “low.”

As far as I can remember, the NYE show at DAK was done from a temporary platform in the parking lot.

Both of these observations live side by side; neither invalidates the other.
Nice to see the mods in this thread. You know, should someone post inflammatory comments...
Exactly.

You know what's funny?
It is almost like you can be critical of specific decisions being made...while at the same time not hate everything that is occurring....what a concept.

I was at Dollywood this past September. And I have no idea what you're talking about.
