It might be too early to draw that kind of conclusion. IIRC the re-theming is not even totally completed, right? I know that at least Planet Hollywood is still in progress. This could have been in the works for a while, and now has the green light because most of the retail/dining stuff is done. Their strategy seems to be to get the retail/dining in first, so that the throngs of people who come for new openings will have plenty of opportunities to spend their money. I don't think it's coincidence that DS is open before Avatar, Toy Story, Star Wars.
I don't have a sense of how busy DS is, or how it is doing financially so this is largely speculation. It just seems more likely to me that they are following part of a long-term plan and moving forward with things that were on the table as options earlier in the process - as opposed to a reactionary decision based on numbers or performance this early.
With the transportation changes, addition of the new parking garage, rumors of characters at World of Disney, and now these new (and rather exciting) rumor, they are positioning themselves to most efficiently funnel cash out of the guest flow that is going to start with the new openings - especially Star Wars. The addition of creative experiences could also have the benefits of making a DS day a "must-do" type of experience, and keep guests away from Universal parks and other local competitors.
I'm excited to follow this as rumors come out about what it will be. I hope I'm not imagining it as something cooler than it will be.

Holding the meet and greet in a store also should help sell merch.10 am to 4pm daily, I'd take that as a big clue they want to attract some people on those down times.
I also think its for folks who have extended stays. If you are there for 6 or more days, and afternoon walking around Disney Springs and not rushing to rides can be a plus, AND by adding meet and greet you can keep the little ones excited as well.Holding the meet and greet in a store also should help sell merch.
In January I am spending 9 days at WDW. I most definitely will be spending a day at Disney Springs especially since I am staying at SSR.I also think its for folks who have extended stays.

I didn't mind the old one but this one pays homage to the original sign and like you said looks clean and more sleek.

Interested in a royal reception of your own? Visit World of Disney between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. daily from October 1 – November 1, 2016. Once you check in, a cast member will share the approximate wait time and return instructions; when it’s time for you to return to the queue, you’ll be moments away from meeting a Disney Princess.
Exactly, they want more of your money especially during the down times of Disney Springs.So, let's say they tell you to come back in 45-60 minutes...what are they hoping you will do during the time? Gee...could it be browse the store and purchase stuff?
It's only 10am to 4pm, so they are probably not seeing enough traffic during the daytime.

When we go down as a family we usually go 7 days, and use one day for half a day at a water park, the other half at Disney Springs. It makes for a nice break after a couple of days running through the parks.In January I am spending 9 days at WDW. I most definitely will be spending a day at Disney Springs especially since I am staying at SSR.
