Makes sense since P&R reinvestment in 2014 was around 9.6% according to @ParentsOf4 so necessarily permits would decline as well.
Down 9.6%?
This is expressed as a percentage of total P&R revenue, During the 80's - 2005 it was between 18-24% of revenue.
Total domestic P&R capex was 9.6% of domestic P&R revenue.

Capex is broken into 2 parts: maintenance and growth (a.k.a. investment). Maintenance capex typically is estimated to be equal to depreciation. Based on this formula:
  • Estimated P&R maintenance capex was 9.1%.
  • Estimated P&R growth capex was 0.5%.
Using this formula, Disney spent about $67 million in growth capex.

Disney might have invested more than that domestically, but it then means that they underfunded maintenance.

Thanks @ParentsOf4, Expressed like this the current executive management of TWDC is leaving nothing in the pipeline for the NEXT generation of managers. I have never been able to understand why P&R is the ATM for TWDC and never seems to get any significant growth capital while TWDC does harebrained tech aquisitions at multiples of the real value of the assets. ie $500 million for a YouTube channel - where most of the content creators not under contract promptly bailed once the sale was announced.

We start off the year with a really exciting permit. DC-6 is FINALLY getting a drain line for the sink!!! In all my visits to Disney I have always said that sink needed a drain line and it's finally happening! The pendulum is finally swinging back!
