I think that’s only going to stop the bleeding though, not encourage people to book extra trips.They have plenty of options if they want to spend some money - filling the parks with characters and live entertainment is an easy quick fix. They could add a nighttime show to DAK and make the shows at MK, DHS, and Epcot more elaborate.
Adding parades, even if they are small and basic by Disney standards, would also help. DAK, DHS, and Epcot could all use them.
The “revenge travel” boom was great for Disney the last couple years but I think it threw off the normal travel cycle, rather than 25% of their audience coming annually on a 4 year cycle they had 50% come each of the last 2 years, now that everyone has gone the last couple years I don’t think something as minor as more characters or parades is going to convince them to spend thousands more on an extra trip before their next normal increment trip in a couple years.
Disney should have seen this coming and planned for it, instead they raised prices, took away perks, and nickel and dimed their guests, not only did they not plan for the inevitable decrease in demand but they alienated a lot of people in the process by charging more for less during the boom.
