Disney Parks goes part time...

If there wasn't such a beautiful irony from Disney Corp, I would be rather upset that at Walt Disney World, the off season will see the closure of certain parks. This has never occurred for Disney Corp. During the reign of Walt and Roy Disney, the Disney Studio was always plagued with seemingly financial disaster. After the total success of Snow White, many thought a new era of animated feature length films would be the studio's savior. Unfortunately, Pinocchio and Fantasia were near disasters for the studio. Add a strike, and bankers shake down to control Walt's spending on animation, and it would seem that the Disney Studio would close prior to Walt's leap into an American Legend and an American Icon. It took a leap out of the world of animation to bring Disney into it's own.
For now, we can see Disney Corp. falling short of expectations. The time has come for competitors to start for the Themed Park patrons. There will be an enterprising, resourceful group that will appeal to the masses that can't afford to go to Disneyland or Disney World.
In short, Disney Corp., could and should make both parks much more affordable, not only with entry fees, but with food, drinks and all other items with in the parks. I don't mind Disney making a profit for it's risk in these parks, but excluding more and more people with prohibitively expensive prices is not the way to recover these parks patronage.
