@lentesta in this thread (instead of just the Epic Universe thread). Len, on your latest show you mentioned for the second time that you didn't think Animal Kingdom was the next park to get attention. Do you know something we don't about the timeline of Tropical Americas? Has that already been put on the back burner?
I could be wrong. But yeah, what I've heard is MK and HS are the focus.
This is all off the top of my head, so help me clarify my thinking here.
The thing I don't know is whether the strategy Disney's betting on is:
- Add to already-popular parks -or-
- Add to less-popular parks
Strategy #1 seems to make sense if Disney sees a need to
get people in the door. So if surveys say "I'm not coming because there's nothing new", even after everything that's been added to EPCOT, then adding to MK makes sense. Lots of people think WDW === MK.
Strategy #2 seems to make sense if they need to
get people to stay longer. Like, people are coming, but they're only going to 2 parks instead of 3 or 4.
I mention strategy #2 because I recently got an email asking for advice about G+. When I asked for details about the trip, the response was "We're doing 2 days at MK, 1 at EP, and 1 at HS."
I would love to see how many people are skipping AK like that. And this person has a 2-BR at BLT for a week. They have the money and the time.
