The real problem is that the parks are just 1 part of a much bigger operation. It's not about their bottom line, it's the Disney corporation bottom line. Reminds me of the time I managed a Pizza Hut many years ago. I was trying to get a new outside sign built since ours was old and not very visible. My district manager said it would cost 10 grand so we couldn't get it. My store busted our butts to earn more money and save more money and found our $10k. When I went to my DM at the end of the year with the extra 10k, she said I still couldn't get the sign because that extra money helped make up for underperforming stores in the district. Welcome to corporate America.
