My prediction years ago…was that it never was going to be a big deal.
That prediction hit - but obviously the conditions changed.
Long and short - prior to the plague - was that they don’t really do these in Orlando anymore. Because the customers suck it up anyway. So investing in “celebrations” is a sunk loss. Why bother?
Nothing built/premiered has anything to do with the anniversary. That’s just cover. It’s all about how horribly underinvested they have been for almost 2 decades in Orlando. They don’t have the capacity to keep people happy or to properly monetize/exploit it. And take “partial measures” to fix it because they don’t like to tell the shareholders running parks cost money to make it…permanently. Period. It will never change: there will be no rest or savings.
Who can we blame for this?
