I think too many of the old guard in leadership positions left, and no one was left in power who understood exactly what a Disney park is supposed to be. I think you have a large number of people fresh out of business school who are trying to run Disney just like they would run any other business. It is a lack of understanding as to what they are actually selling. The focus on IP is misplaced. I think you have a vocal group of mostly younger consumers who think this is normal and how Disney should operate that they are listening to - but the issue with that group is that they are notoriously fickle and do not have the sense of dedication to Disney that all of us do who saw it back when it was in its Golden age. IP tends to date, and there is always something new. If you don't give them the new, they get bored with it, easily. The problem is that the theme parks exist in bricks and mortar and can not change every six months based on what ever the flavor of the day is. And even if it could, they wouldn't spend the money on it to change it that often. Thats why focusing on things which are timeless makes sense, and unique attractions which were not strongly tied to IP. I think Iger thinks in terms of IP properties, and since he spent so much of his time buying IP I think there is a push there to justify those purchases. None of this will get better until we have a change in management and a new team who focuses back on what Disney does best, and gets away from this dead end of slapping IP wherever they can cram it.
