A monster show is replacing the muppets, the door coaster is a new build not replacing anything but back stage area. Star wars replaced a mostly empty row of facades, stunt show and kids playground, for multiple dining and shops, 2 rides, various live performances and characters.
Probably heard it from the WDW bus driver.
Yes a monsters show is a positive. If it happens. There's not been a lot of substantial info as to what it will be. Will it be muppets in scope or Jack Sparrow or even happen? We'll see.
Yep. Park attendance is 98% domestic and international tourists paying for LL and park hoppers.
The main concern with value from most people can't be looked at in a vacuum, though. The issue is, over time, the basic cost of a WDW visit-park admissions, resort room rates, food prices- has increased significantly, while what is included in those basic costs has decreased significantly or has been made an extra-cost item. The value per dollar spent is constantly decreasing. The same issue exists with other forms of paid entertainment-the price of concert tickets and tickets to sporting events continues to grow, with the quality of entertainment offered usually staying the same or declining.
