A lower attendance future for WDW?

The problem is you assume that the lower attendance is something they expect to continue long term. No reason to expect that... After 9/11 attendance took a temporary hit, after the 2008 financial crisis attendance took a temporary hit... Why exactly is this virus going to be any different from past things that happened and caused a temporary hit? Granted this virus BS is going on longer than most expected, but it isn't going to last forever. At some point it will pass, or people will just live with it and move on down the road.

If Disney has a park that can hold 50,000 people then they are going to try and cram 50,000 in as often as they can. They may try to add on things to cater to the luxury visitor and it may cause a temporary drop in the common man visitor but that will never be the goal unless the luxury visitors were to all stand up and say we won't go anymore unless you keep the deplorable out... but there is no reason to expect that luxury visitors to do that when they can simply hire the Disney tour guides to waltz them around the park and avoid having to wait behind any deplorables.

Even if Disney drops a resort in ever country of EPCOT it won't result in them closing it down to the deplorables, it might result in the luxury visitors getting extra hours before and after the park opens for the riffraff but that's something Disney has been doing for years with their magic hours perk.

You put forth a claim that Disney was going to target lower attendance but higher paying visitors... I simply don't buy it.
Totally agree with you. WDW will bounce back. This is not their first day at the rodeo!
