Agree to the degree the current pricing model and entertainment offerings are short-term thinking to glean as much money as possible from guests. As for extended stays the current thinking is actually driving people to not stay (particularly on property) for longer time frames. The more long-term aficionados / fans / guests leave Disney properties disappointed in their experiences, the more littles that leave Disney properties feeling MEH, the less people feel motivated to return to Disney properties (simply put the WORD gets out and Disney cannot control its spread), the fewer and fewer "new" replacement guests there will be. There are other competitors (entertainment options) out there that are fast becoming more appealing. The bottom line is simple the investors, those money-oriented shareholders, the people that are looking for those juicy dividends are not going to get them and will demand change or will sell to cut their losses.Obviously, the numbers don't support your assertation. There's a point where the additional revenue per guest over a longer stay is less than a new replacement guest.
