In the past each park was looked on as its own thing and decisions were made by what was best for that park. The model now is property wide. That is why you see a new attraction in one park then dont see another one again anywhere until they feel they have exhausted the publicity on it. They know the average person thinks "Walt Disney World" and not the MK, EPCOT, Studios or AK. Thats why they can advertise the hell out of Expedition Everest and know that the average person will want to come and experience it. Once the guest makes that decision, Disney knows they will visit all or most of the other parks. Especially with the introduction of the Magic Your Way tickets.

Still, MK listed as an 11 p.m. close on the Fourh ... and still absurdly early closes for most of the period.
