Between 2000 and 2010, they opened 2 regular resorts and FIVE DVC resorts at WDW, no theme parks and no water parks. I think they've known which side their bread's been buttered on for quite awhile.
Wow ... that's pretty shocking when you put it out there like that.

And yeah ... I mean I've known that they've sort of become addicted to the DVC gravy train, but I'm starting to suspect that the house of cards in WDW is becoming unstable. I feel like they've painted themselves into a corner a bit, what with the crazy prices and declining service and merchandise quality. Their struggles pushing food and merch are pretty well documented and they were very dependent on that revenue stream.
