It hasn't caught up to Disney for 100 years, why now?
It survived:
The Great Depression
WW2
The Cold War
The Korean War
The Vietnam War
The unrest of the 60's+
The energy crisis
Inflation, stagflation, deflation
The dot com bust
9/11 and the never ending war on terror
The Great Recession
The Pandemic
Bob 2.0 (I couldn't resist)
And countless other major economic disruptions. Many of these directly destroyed travel for a time and yet Disney survived and thrived. It has changed with the times, unlike AOL, Blockbuster, and IBM who stubbornly held to models that became outdated.
So again, why now? Because they raised prices too much while the parks were overwhelmed with guests? Easy fix, offer nice discounts and all those people who thought they were priced out will come running back. Or maybe because everyone feels nickle and dimed - easy fix, eliminate things like resort parking fess (done), then offer free G+ and two LL's with a hotel/ticket package, everyone will then feel like they are getting something for nothing. Or because the economy is headed for trouble - see above, it has survived a century of troubled economies.
So in conclusion, trouble ahead - probably. The end of a 100 year old company, an American (and Worldwide) institution, - I most definitely think not.
