Apart from the major pavilions and the headliner Epcot attractions, can we expect any "smaller" updates in the next 4 years to supplement the losses?

Don't know about that. Doesn't Epcot have a much greater capacity? And if Epcot had an E-Ticket in each of the FW pavilions and a bunch of C & D rides in WS, I bet it would surpass MK. I think that's the direction they'll eventually go in, hopefully. The focus on "family-friendly" in the new rides should draw in families with children as well as retain the more mature crowd.

The MK park will likely always be the top attended, for a variety of reasons. Sure, some of the crowds can be balanced out with more to do, I agree,, but I feel like some people think that we'll go back to the days of walk on attractions and sparse crowds, and that's not going to happen.

But the balance is far out of whack and more attractions will certainly help. But the MK is "the draw" no matter how much they put into the other one. Look at how Disneyland and DCA. Sure we have four parks to their two, but the castle park remains the most popular and likely always will be. That's all I'm saying.

But I think some of the crowd imbalance can be fixed by adding a variety of attractions to the other parks.

Some of those have been long gone, but I get your point. The loss of smaller attractions certainly adds up and it's kind of alarming to see so many of them go away with no replacements. Everything (yes, there are some exceptions, before I'm corrected, lol) seems to have to be a coaster or a 2 minute E-ticket experience now.

I'm honestly surprised they're keeping the France theater. And I guess we're going to lose the Magic Eye theater and possibly the Circle of Life theater (at least for now).

Not that I'm the biggest fan of the idea I'm gonna throw out, but they could at least throw meet and greets into the empty theaters. Like how DHS threw Olaf and Mickey and Minnie into unused space.

Kinda glad because I wasn’t a big fan of that idea. But with the Inside Out rumours, does that mean they’re phasing out Figment completely? Seems like a really weird decision.

I could be wrong on this, but I don't think a phase out will happen. The Inside Out rumors have gone immensely quiet over the past 2 years.

Mk has the prime disney draw...so it will always be the most attended.

But...but...real star additions to the others will draw crowds...not necessarily the overall numbers...but the ride seekers that flood the queues. We see countless accounts about people going on big thunder or space or rockinroller coaster 3 times a day...and going 3 times a year...

Ummm...that element needs to channel it's energy...

A couple of mainlines in each would do a lot for balance long term.

But I agree: my/our disney...of practically no crowds in November, January and May is over...expectations will have to change.

I thought they had a recent resurgence, but maybe I’m wrong? I know we aren’t getting anything in the near future, but I could only hope that they do something both original and great.

I don't know why they would want to further lower park capacity. Doesn't make sense.
