We are constantly fighting several things. 1) 70% of ALL guests to WDW are NEW, thus everyhting is novel to them. 2) what % of repeat guests want any particular ride/attraction to still be there for nostalgic reasons? So in reality, the % of folks demanding a change is pretty small and I bet a decent % of them will visit the attraction anyway.
Heck, I still miss 20,000 leagues and Mr. Toad......
I think this statement answers why Disney does not change many of their shows and rides as often as we believe we should. The Beauty and the Beast show is good the first few times as is Indiana Jones and several other shows and rides. With 70% being new guest and then a number of repeat guest bringing a new visitor with them, that is a big percent of visitors. On pages like WDWInfo (and I am not criticizing us) most of us are the repeat several times to Disney visitors and so they we are the ones that see the show getting a little old. Keep in mind though we make up no more than 2% of Disney visitors. So if we do not want to do Beauty and the Beast on our 5th trip in the last 8 years then it is not a big deal. My guess is Disney will look at replacing it when there are lots of empty seats at the shows during Peak Season.
