I get where you are coming from. But In my opinion we are NEVER getting new rides , good service and lower prices. The best you can hope for maybe , maybe, maybe (probably not until you get different people at the top) would be a better balance of service/maintence and reinvestment in the parks. The prices ,parties and add on's stay and continue to march up. That is just reality.
I guess I wasn't writing clearly. I think we will get new rides of course. But not fast enough to solve the capacity problem.
It's still a group of people that are deprived of things like a Disney park. Doesn't matter what caused it, it still left them out.
but there is middle ground, that's my point. We get it, yes we appreciate Walt's visionary but what do you do, live in the past?? never change . It's not that we think modern is the right way but we can't go back. Cell phones, streaming are modern. Because Walt invented it, we don't improve on it?? now of course "improvement" is in the eye of the beholde but jeez how long are we going to go with "what would walt do?
Weren't there were always people who were left out? Seriously, Disney was always costly.
I like both for different reasons. once again, it's not a "either/or".
No, we speculate on what he might have done differently and what he might have done their way. No one expects him to come out of the ashes and take the company back. It is just conversation. We all know that this is all it is. It is you, in this case, that have decided that we expect things to happen like we speculate if he had been alive and still running the place. It is just a topic not a demand. Who's to say what he might have actually done. So many times we hear about thing that Walt wouldn't have done for example go to the present advancement of video technology. They say that Walt would still have omni-movers. Anyone that has read anything about Walt knows that he embraced new technology and even relied on screens in 1955. (Think about "Mission to the Moon"). Wasn't in complete darkness and was two major screens. People loved it. What would make people think that today he wouldn't embrace that technology. It is quite spectacular. And modern. So we discuss it. If we decide that he would embrace it or if he wouldn't embrace it we have a 50/50 chance that we are right. We just will never know for sure. Disney is a company based on fantasy.
Relatively costly, but not completely out of reach.
Wonderful, but what does that have to do with anything. All sections of society with the exception of the very bottom had the ability with minor amount of effort to afford to go there. It doesn't matter how many people were in the total population and since we are talking a current population if approximately 350,000,000, the difference is about 1/3rd less and yet that prices have increased about the same but that is only individually. If you have a family it is exponentially less affordable. We tend to only look at is individually, when this is supposed to be a family entertainment. If you can tell me that the individual rate is not 8 to 10 times more then the population of about 33% growth over the same time, then it might be equal.
Regarding capacity over the years... interesting question, I would be curious to know the answer. I tried Googling it briefly but didn't come up with anything.
I sincerely doubt that the average median income is currently 83K, but maybe where you live. Back then people drove there in droves. Traffic on I-95 was mostly WDW bound.
Well the place was NAMED AFTER HIM.. lets change this to Iger world and see how it flies.. Or to Eisner world..
Average and median are two different things. I think what networkpro listed may be closer to the average than the median, but I haven't looked at the figures lately.
