DCA's original flaws are very much Disney's fault.
As for the current state of the economy, first of all, costs rise all of the time. Inflation is a inevitable, and the fact that very little inflation has happened in the past 8-10 years is quite a remarkable event in monetary history. Secondly, pay little attention to the Chicken Littles you see on TV wearing suits standing behind Seals these days. This is a problem, yes, but the people who were alive in the 1970s & early 80s should be able to tell you similar stories of an economy in trouble. Except then it was worse in terms of unemployment.
What Disney is well aware of is the cyclical nature of the economy. There are high times of periods of strong growth, and times of correction. We are in currently in the latter now, but cyclical nature tells us that it will not last very much longer, unless government gets in the way, of course, and alters the senario. Disney's postioned itself to ride the rough waters now and then deal with the future. Depending on what happens, that could have ramifications whose possbilities are all across the board vis a vis DCA. Disney has game plans in place currently to deal with whatever comes.
