Cool characters don’t move the needle at Disney World. Most people going to WDW were already coming and usually from a distance. Putting a cool character out there isn’t going to cause a family in Iowa to suddenly want to come to Disney World. You get pass holders and locals, sure, but they actually don’t want to entice those people because they make no money on them.Why can't we have things like this at WDW?!
Now in Disneyland it’s the opposite. Mostly locals, not many from a distance. As mentioned, locals are enticed by things like cool characters, so pack Disneyland with whoever you can get.
Also, in WDW, cool characters don’t move the needle much in terms of guest satisfaction either, so no need for special characters in Disney World. And they aren’t doing it out of the goodness of their hearts.
In short, small things work and make sense for Disneyland. Only big things work for Disney world (like big new rides.. tron, cosmic)
