As funny as the narrative would be that SW:GE is so terrible that it is decreasing crowds... don’t sink to that level people. Even freaking Pixar Pier could drive crowds... even a half opening shopping mall with an 80’s simulator could at least sustain them.
This is on marketing and the media (and us) who for years and years blabbered on about how crazy busy and unbearable the place would be. People listened and stayed away as they were told.
We’ve seen this before, this is what Eisner did to Disneyland Paris.
The crowds will be back. The vacationers will be suppressed through the summer though. TDO is totally going to make the opposite mistake though and WDW will be unbearable.
