Depends on the theories of guest decision-making you subscribe to. It's very complex, and I do vacillate back and forth on what the right decisions are often. I do think you had compounding problems in both of those parks where those were the only E-ticket attractions added to these parks on either side of what? 7 years or something like that? WDW expansion in the Iger era was almost exclusively reactive: attempting to address the capacity crisis of a park, locking down a third party rights agreement after losing the Potter rights, adding capacity to existing attractions instead of planning new experiences, and wrapping up with the Galaxy's Edge expansion being a complete clone of the Anaheim version for a park that, to the surprise of no one who has followed the development of DHS, was woefully inadequate to handle the marginal demand to get in that gate.I would argue those were necessary and beneficial. Both attractions had popularity and demand that drastically overpowered their capacities. Adding new attractions to those parks would have been great but it wouldn’t have fixed that problem. Guests at Epcot don’t suddenly stop wanting to ride Soarin’ just because they can now ride Ratatouille.
The construction of DAK was the last proactive effort to grow the Florida project, which makes sense, because that was the last time proactive leadership had the necessary understanding of what the division is, and the power to convert that understanding into action.
