My answer to "MK needs more capacity" is "no it doesn't, they just need to give people more reasons to visit the other 3 parks". Spread the crowds better.

MK is always going to be the vacation must do since it’s a right of passage. I think the park needs ride capacity if almost every ride is at least an hour wait.
It’s telling their freshest IP Encanto is going to DAK
I dunno if we’ll ever see a fifth park because the economics of scale with staffing might not be able to support it. I’ve heard of a few projects being canned because of staffing worries.
The MK darkrides have been ROUGH today. Multiple major, spotlight figures are just completely nonfunctional. More minor effects broken as well of course, but seeing major figures just frozen is a horrible look. 🙁
So Disney isn’t doing the upkeep of the rides either. They’re really cutting corners. It’s so frustrating that the company is completely selling out to shareholders instead of remembering they make money hand over fist because they do things the right way. :/
Disney shouldn’t have staffing worries. Their staffing worries are the paying people money part. It’s why they keep cutting entertainment/non-ride cast members which is ruining the magic
I think this ignores the reality of the situation. MK doesn’t get all the guests because it has more stuff. It gets all the guests *because it is the MK*
I think it’s wishful thinking about how the (Disney) world should work vs how it works in reality. They’ll never feasibly build enough elsewhere to stop everyone showing up to WDW from wanting to primarily go to Magic Kingdom
BUT the current setup of 40 rides at MK and 10 at each other park is probably a pretty good reason why people would want to spend more time in MK than anywhere else.
You can't make it even but you can spread the crowd better than it is
I just don’t think realistically that would happen. I think building more stuff will just result in more people coming, and the spreads staying relatively the same.
Which is fine! More stuff is good! I just don’t ever expect there to be much of a change in park vs park visitation
MK will always be a beast, and will likely stand head and shoulders taller than other parks. But the other three could be better-balanced - and this also has to do with park hours around the resort, not just rides and IP.
Or maybe take a page from EU and design ticket packages to spread crowds out.
