Clearly more than they do now and its caught up to them.
Quality also counts. Stiche's Great Escape and Tron did not exactly move the needle for example of attractions a decade apart both not doing much.
Pandora helped Animal Kingdom for awhile.
It is particularly agregious is because Iger had said when he became CEO nearly two decades ago when asked about more theme parks in the states, that the focus would be expanding attractions within the parks they had. Like a flat out no. And really, the rate of new attractions and upkeep of old ones(sometimes shuttering with zero replacement) has actually become worse.
Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios have both had large attendance gains since 2009. While their new attractions, particularly recently have not all moved the needle, they have continued a good pace of new attractions large and small. They are clearly doing enough for their two park resort, but they were the last to build a new major theme park in the United States, and they will be the most recent to build new theme parks in the United States.
No major theme park should go a full calendar year without a major attraction, smaller attraction, night time show, day parade or unique attraction that will draw people in. WDW has four theme parks and has commonly failed that. Even parks with stints that did well with that more recently(Hollywood Studios) they have shuttered many things that hurt what was already there.

Most of the new rides Disney has added to the resort since 2018 are lousy. For every Rise of the Resistance there's a Remy's Ratatouille Adventure.

I’ll take a Remy ride over them spending money on the Moana water thingy though
Sadly, you get both and so much money wasted on things where neither are very good.
So much money tossed at EPCOT wasted.

Good thing they can run the cash cow festivals

I haven't been on it yet, but it certainly looks like a vastly superior ride to Ratatouille, Guardians, TRON, or Smuggler's Run.

It is. That poster's just making an embarrassing attempt at being contrarian.

it is - well, Guardians is similar level (to me) but very different.
Rise is 3 interconnected ride systems plus part performance art/interactive theater with the role of the CMs, etc. ... its really unique as far as a theme park experience. I can understand just not liking it or not thinking it was worth the $ or the trouble as it does go down a lot - but no way to say it is a bad thing

Rise is a multi-part attraction that, when taken in its whole, is definitely a Disney "ride". It has relatability issues, and there is a valid argument it can be over hyped. But, it is very tough to argue it isn't a major E Ticket attraction.
Similarly, as much as I really dislike a lot of recent decisions -especially destroying Epcot and its theme for a mess. It's tough to argue they haven't been investing in the Parks in the past 5 years. I think it's poor story telling and a lot of wasted money (with a huge need of help on other attractions). But we did get a good number of things each year.

It’s really cool and elaborate. If they could create something like it that had a lot of heart, Disney would amaze me. As for fun, I actually liked MF and Guardians better.

Because Ratatouille is actually fun.
Quite literally a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Go on once, you've seen it all.

I just think most things go above your head.

It's just not a good ride. Overall, Galaxy's Edge is a massive waste of space.

To me, I think they should be aiming for at least one major new ride per year with a new land every 3. This is focusing just on lands/attractions.
So repeating every three years:
| Year 1 | Year 2 | Year 3 |
| E ticket (possible mini-land) | E/D ticket | New land (E ticket + smaller ride + food) or (E ticket + food) |
| Upgrades/show | Upgrades/show, food | Upgrades |
I know it was The Disney Decade and all. And some like to call them unifnished parks, but even with that.
It is wild that from 1989 to 1998. That is nine years. We got Splash Mountain, two entire theme parks, Tower of Terror, Rocknrollercoaster, Muppet Vision 3D, Honey I Shrunk The Audience. Lion King Puppet show at Magic Kingdom, New Parades, Fantasmic A few misses of updated attractions like Tiki Room. Tomorrowland retheme including Timekeeper, Alien Encounter and Buzz Lightyear. EPCOT also had Test Track. Disneyquest. I am not even counting all the lackluster attempts that just did not pan out but were at least built or produced.
Now do 2013 to 2023. Sure there are a few hits, but nothing in comparison.
