Here is someting for the Rumor Board to ponder:
It seems the recent closing of Epcot due to an electrical fire was not as large a problem as WDW executives thought it would be. They thought the other parks would be overrun with guests, thus leading to the added hours and shows.
It seems they did not take into account the fact that people (traveling seniors) who were going to Epcot would not necessarily opt to visit "family" parks.
It seems the impact on the other 3; (MK, DAK, and MGM) was minimal and now something that has been talked about since 9/11 may come to pass. COMPLETELY closing Epcot several days a week. My guess would be Tuesday - Thursday.
When questioned as to why you would close the park with the second highest attendance in Florida it was stated that MGM is quickly closing in on Epcot's attendance figures and would soon pass it.
Other discussions included a discount ticket to just the countries in the evening and completely closing FW. The majority of the parks revenue comes from WSC, (food, alcoholic beverages, deserts, etc.)
Thoughts, comments. . . .
