I'll be honest, I think expanding Magic Kingdom should be the priority. The problem with Magic Kingdom is that it does not have enough rides. I know that sounds crazy given that it has more rides than any other park but Disneyland Park in California is so much more pleasant due to the fact that it has substantially more attractions and can spread the crowds out. I know adding two more E tickets beyond Tron will naturally bring in more people BUT when the hype of new attractions dies down and in off seasons, it will be more manageable.
Another big issue it would solve: refurbishments! If Disney added Tron, a roller coaster in Adventureland and another big E ticket in the back of the park behind Fantasyland (Yea yea utilidors. There's a way) Disney would (hopefully) be more comfortable giving many Magic Kingdom attractions long needed refurbishments. In Disneyland, if Indiana Jones is down as it will be later this year, and you want to go on a thrill ride, you got Thunder Mountain, Space Mountain, Matterhorn, Star Tours and Splash Mountain for thrill rides and soon Rise of the Resistance. There's still a fantastic line up for thrill rides if one is down for refurbishment. In Magic Kingdom, when Big Thunder Mountain is down, you just have Splash and Space Mountain and arguably Mine Train... and soon Tron. Which is a fantastic step in the right direction. But it shouldn't stop there.
If you take one of the E tickets out in Florida...by next year you’ll have a very similar slate of thrills left.
The problem in MK is that the customers are placking the place while lowering their own expectations...allowing Disney to “upsell” what really shouhd be in the base ticket. Like all over WDW
It’s been going on for awhile and the consequences for experience are noting but bad.
