The reason that we aren't looking at the rest of what Disney, as a company, is doing is because, we are talking about WDW in this thread. All the rest of the worldwide investment has zero impact on me. They could build 100 cruise ships, have 50 more parks spring up in Shanghai it will have no effect on me. I am not going to Shanghai nor am I taking a cruise in the foreseeable future.
I do not know why Disney is refusing to invest more in the parks. It may be because they are A) broke, B) being pressured by Wall Street to curb spending, C) do not accept that Universal is moving swiftly ahead, if not in numbers, but in positive feed back or D) they have their heads so far up their butts that they have to brush their teeth through their navels. Whatever, the reason nothing is being done, of substance, to improve, enliven or stay cutting edge in the theme park business. The shear lack of acceptance or ability to prepare and anticipate the future just to make today look good, is mind boggling to me. To me it's like taking a boat out into the ocean and waiting until you are out of sight of the shore to decide that you need to put gas in the tank. It's a long row back.
