This feels like an extensive reach.Clearly you have never done anything creative. Fantasia was bust when it was released, the company lost a ton, The haters of the day said the magic was over. When he announced Disneyland they dubbed it Walts follies. When it opened the Concrete still wasn't dry, the wagon ride was bust, etc, etc - did the company give up? Of course not! There will always be a next, different & better. Walt saw a bigger World.
The little world laughed at Robert Fulton when he went steaming by on that steam ship in the hudson river, but the big world was gathered watching him as he made that historic journey downstream.
The little world laughed but the big world was right there at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina when the Wright Brothers made that flight in the space that changed not only the face of the globe, but changed the face of the universe. The little world laughed, but the big world was tuned in when Alexander Graham Bell make that historic phone call which changed communications forever.
The little world might laugh at you, when you start on your journey, but I can absolutely guarantee you it’s gonna be the big world who is gonna be right there at the finish cheering you across when you reach the destination which they said you could not reach, and let me remind you that what you get by reaching that destination will not be nearly so important as what you will become by reaching that destination.

Nobody's claiming the company's done for because their Moana walkthrough is lame.
That said, it's silly to try to reframe this as some sort of long-term win. Of course Disney will do better things in the future - but this isn't some David and Goliath situation. Disney is acting as their own worst enemy here, making choices that from Day 1 evidently were not designed with the guests wants or needs in mind. This isn't a standalone issue.
There's no need to pretend that Journey of Water isn't fully primed to disappoint, and there's certainly no need to pretend that's somehow gonna jumpstart a meaningful change in how they operate. The rot goes deeper than just this one misguided walkthrough.
