Below I linked an article that states that many are avoiding Disney World because it's become too expensive.
I'd bet that Disney will be as packed as the law & a litigation / bad press-fearing Disney will allow this summer and during its 50th Anniversary year, but then fall off.
The following paragraph is just another Chapek-blaming rant, so you might want to skip it & go right to the article under it.
I'd bet that Chapek thinks that Disneyland enjoyed increased attendance during and after its 50th in 2005 just because it was the 50th, and won't appreciate that many of us frequented the park in 2005 & in the following years because Disneyland President Matt Ouimet dramatically improved the quality of the parks. (He even brought back the outstanding Golden Horseshoe Revue for a limited time -- it should've kept running.)
I predict that slow Bob Chapek will cheap out when contrasted with Disneyland 2005, so that while there will be a 50th bump, attendance will fall off dramatically when the 50th ends. (BTW, they should probably celebrate the 50th through the fall of 2023.) The current Disney leaders who made cuts to Galaxy's Edge & just opened Spiderman Midway Mania instead of trying to surpass Universal's 1999 (& nicely updated) Islands of Adventure Spiderman attraction are more into short-term quarterly & fiscal year profits than the longer-term thinking of visionaries like Walt Disney, Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, and the Oriental Land Company. And Chapek will not invest in his employees the way smarter companies like Costco, Trader Joe's, In 'n' Out, & Starbucks do; so Disney employees will not be better than Universal Orlando's. Yes, you know someone who worked at one of these 4 companies & didn't like it, but that's anecdotal. All four have in recent years been known for treating & compensating their workers better than their competitors have.
