Except judging merely on numbers, the top dog is actually doing pretty darn well. You must not be watching the fight too closely.
1. If we were talking about DLC, you would be correct. For WDW, as has been stated time and time again, Disney does not plan on high repeat visitors for WDW. Approx 70-80% are generational visitors.
2. Again, the numbers do not agree with you. Disney is full. BOOKED UP SOLID. SOMEONE IS TAKING THEIR KIDS TO DISNEY. END OF STORY. Any argument that Disney is sacrificing and driving people away is null and void as long as the parks are driving at high throttle. If the parks were ghost towns, you would have a very valid argument.
Disney Parks attendance is hard to pin down but more crowded common areas in the parks doesn’t necessarily mean booming attendance with some attractions still closed. See this article:

They are also riding a wave of pent up demand right now; the word of mouth tide turns slowly but it does turn; and inflation is -wow, it’s happening. I’ve never seen grocery store prices tick up in real time like this before.
I’ll admit that I’m biased because I don’t like some of the recent changes and I’m hoping attendance falls just enough to make them reconsider (I do love Disney so I don’t want things to go badly for them - again, just enough of a dip that they bring back some of the perks.)
