Isn’t a post about complaining about the degree of “off topic” on a completely off topic thread that’s in the Book of Revelation at this point like “antimatter”?
Does it really exist? Or is it all theoretical?

Star Trek has all the answers you seek on that topic.

In my state (Ohio) it is still under discussion. The state Board of Education last met a few weeks ago and is slated to meet again next week. The only public statements are that the governor "would like" schools to be able to open, but they are planning for 3 different scenarios: fully back to school, still fully closed/distanced, and a hybrid model.
And that a computer system capable of linking your mind to an Avatar which is miles away, requires you to non stop "move around a little" so it can detect you, smh.

Right now in Central Florida Orange County is still on for August 10, Seminole County as far as I know is still planning August 10th as well. I am not sure about Osceola County.

I think perhaps your timeline is a bit off, if you are saying that WDW didn't add any (big) attractions between 1999 and 2015:
1999 - Pooh, Test Track, RnR, Kali
2003- Mission:SPACE
2005 - Soarin'
2006 - Seas with Nemo, EE
207 - Finding Nemo show in AK
2008 - TSM
2012 - Enchanted Tales with Belle
2014- 7DMT
Plus, the Meet and Greet with Anna and Elsa bears a mention, as it falls in that time period. It has moved around, but originally started in 2013. When it was originally in Epcot, it regularly had a 5+ hour wait.
It moved to MK (April 2014), then moved back to Epcot (2016). It might not be your thing, but for a good long time, it was a bigger draw than just about any other WDW attraction has ever really had and is still popular. It bears mentioning when talking about the parks in the 2014 time frame, because it was added in that time, and was a big draw.
It also bears mentioning, perhaps, because there was an odd lack of Frozen merchandise for sale in 2014/2015, when the movie's popularity was extremely high. WDW likely would have sold a great deal of Frozen merchandise if it had been available. To your point, it was a missed opportunity.

So we’re gonna do this?
Ok.
Disclaimer: I should have said “after 1999”...i screwed That up. That was the wind down of the DAK investment and eisners “millennium package” thrown together...
Mission space: replaced horizons
Soarin: replaced food rocks
Seas with Nemo: replaced “seas without Nemo”
Everest is a net add...but of course that was after the original dak layout was cut down. They DID also add Chester and Hester prior
Finding Nemo show: replaced Tarzan show
TSM: net add...but of course they closed half of mgm to prep for the toy story land and Star wars later...so down to maybe net +1 now or so?
Enchanted tales with Taco Belle: moved
Mine train and mermaid were net ads...replacing the subs which had been a net subtraction. Also took out snow whites but no one really cared.
So the question was did they add enough capacity?
That’s the real question...
And I won’t even get into what was closed and never replaced in that time...which is kinda appalling for the Disney purists. Some of that is finally being replaced.
But all those factoids aside...how do you handle 20% more crowds with the same spots for them comfortably? They are doing things now but going 5-10 years in a park at times without new capacity...X4 parks...isn't that effective.
But that’s all past. Let’s get some tiered, 60 day prebooked out virtual queues up in dis piece, eh?
And I’m sure the next few years with the “boom” economy is gonna result in lots of extra cash/investment. I’m waiting for someone named “Bob” to make a public statement to we fans and Wall Street that bigger, better, more comfortable and less monetized down to the 1/4 penny is coming...
Ok.

To be fair, your ad revenue has probably gone up considerably.Why should people suddenly care about "giving me a break" now?

MY ad revenue? I don't get paid anything, so it doesn't affect me at all. In fact, I donate to the site.

They want to keep people from canceling. Honestly I think there will be so many discounts in the future the cruise credit will be worthless. Two years is a long time to let Disney keep your money.

I would agree with the other cruise operators...but you know that Disney is priced differently.
It is harder to price differently when the demand isn’t there and cruise demand is going to be down for a longtime.

I've gotten some of the best discounts on Disney in the past. There's no reason to book anything far out. Not only will demand be down, but we're going into a deep recession.

Disney has a captive audience and 4 boats...that’s why their prices are 200% comparable.
Elaborate?
...im curious.
