Kevin Yee writes in his column today (http://miceage.micechat.com/kevinyee/ky061008a.htm), furthering his ongoing 'WDW is Screwed' motif. He goes on to say:
Thoughts?
Because otherwise, another contingency plan may be enacted - brace yourself - to close down one Disney World theme park at least one day per week. The Magic Kingdom (MK) appears safe (it's such a big draw) as Epcot (E) (it has so many corporate sponsors that would demand otherwise), but Disney's Animal Kingdom (DAK) and Disney's Hollywood Studios (DHS) may well be dark, locked, and inaccessible one day a week, starting in early 2009 if attendance levels get bad enough. Obviously, the plan would be to take turns. Perhaps Monday would see DAK go dark, and more people would rush into MK, E, and DHS as a result. Then, on Tuesday, DHS would stay locked, and MK, E, and DAK would get increased traffic.
Regardless, this is all speculation and should be taken with a grain of salt, but I kind of like the idea- not only does it cut costs, but the park closed could get some maintenance.
