FWIW, historically one of the signs of a company going downhill is what is called "deferred maintenance." Basically, maintenance/repair/refurbishment that needs to be done but is put off to save money. What happens is that maintenance/repair/refurbishment either never gets done or only gets done after something drastically fails.
Now I don't know if this is what is happening with Disney or not, but I am curious. We went to all four parks in February/March 2016 and there was only one ride that was down, the carousel, and that was for no more than 5 minutes. Fast forward to the week after Thanksgiving in 2016, roughly 9 months later. We didn't go a single day without rides being down, unplanned, for minutes to hours. One was even for half the day. Some of them were even right after rope drop!
I do understand that rides go down. But, its one thing when a ride goes down at the $10 a person state fair. Its another when you're paying over $100 a day to go to only one park and you experience multiple rides breaking down.
