I think they are having way bigger problems and Shaghai is good excuse or tipped them over the abyss.
How much did the magic band fiasco Cost? If I remember correctly that was done to increase guest speding in the parks. Yet someone posted that if you read throught the anual report that although the parks are at a all time profit( due to tcket increases), average guest spending is down 9%. So that sounds like an epic financial fail. How much is Pandora over budget? Also another fail financially. Then there is Shanghai and just have to wonder that they are thinking like the article said if its another DCA. Did Star Wars really make them that much money? I see nothing but SW merch on the clearance racks.
These profit generating decisions and cost cutting measure are happening during an improving economy, not Post 9/11 or the economic meltdown. Even during those times Disney didn't react this extreme.
