Have read a few separate articles regarding waning attendance in Orlando and especially at WDW and what WDW is doing to boost numbers.
IMHO I feel that WDW had lost its way in recent years. Prices are up, but attraction availability was down. Epcot had NOTHING new, HS was a joke. The expansion in MK was desperately needed but really didn’t add any “WOW”
Epcot used to be a beacon of the “new” and the “possible” HS was a working studio where you could see movies in action.
Even things like limited Monorail service for the monorail loop hotels - that is ridiculous.
I LOVE WDW - but had seen an increasing decline in quality and services since its opening (unfortunately I am that old). I know they are building new lands and rides and they are desperately needed. On our last visit - it was clear that a significant revamp of the parks is needed to draw people back.
The cost has skyrocketed as well - with no associated value add.
Other thoughts?
