Not to disagree with your premise…
But how does Disney “invest” in parks to increase their business?
The problem is management Philosophy.

- In the Parks
- No
The only cut from before Covid that comes to mind (I’m positive there’s more) is the Main Street Theater
Wish that happened. That would’ve been great for mk. What could even go in that spot now?
During the recession of 2009 when there were nationwide layoffs, homeowners losing their homes etc, Disney bought Marvel for $4B.

In terms of actual D23 announcements that were cancelled, it was:
- Pixie Hollow, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty meet and greet for New Fantasyland (replaced by 7 Dwarfs & Storybook Circus) - 2009
- Main Street Theater - 2017
- Mary Poppins (teacups), Festival Center and Spaceship Earth update - 2019

No…I meant big brain Bob did nothing for ten years…then did a “grand” building program for 10…
And in Orlando we have no progress from the start point in the wash. More timeshares though
I believe they claimed poverty and cancelled wonders of life too?
But the frustration is also that everything they take 5 years to Is underequipped as well.
Billions don’t get you much these days

Well, Bob is getting older. Just like everyone else, he can't escape Father Time.
Oh wait...

The theater is the only one on your list that was really a cut and was not COVID related
I honestly thought the Festival Center was a non-Covid-related cut due to the "Bob Shuffle" at the top.
SSE seemed to fade into obscurity, much like the Play! Pavilion plans (although the latter was very much Covid-impacted).

SSE closing date was scheduled and announced. Vendors and contractors were lined up and ready to go. If not for Covid it would have happened.I honestly thought the Festival Center was a non-Covid-related cut due to the "Bob Shuffle" at the top.

Last i checked 7D was a thumbed down version of the ride… SDD was also. Lets not discuss the extra ride SWL lost along with Pandora and the TSL “phase 2”. Come on you guys cant be serious. The list can go on and on but its not even worth mentioning any more. Oh wait lets do so. Mary Poppins attraction
Ah, thanks! It's been so long (2018) that I had forgotten about the announced closure (2020) and timelines (2-3 years offline).
