It's also a shame that a major expansion in the park (New Fantasyland) featured so many of these high capacity character venues (ETWB, Ariel's Grotto, PFH, PSS) and yet if my understanding is correct the MK entertainment budget wasn't really expanded. You'd think if an increase in operating costs were needed because of something ordered from the big wigs (New Fantasyland) that they would give them more money, but nope. Instead more of the same characters are needed at the cost of character variety.
That sounds a lot like local governments, which are forever mandated new obligations by the state (or federal government), but with no money attached to the mandate... They're just supposed to do it. Never mind that they planned out their annual budgets like everyone else based on existing expectations.
