That's a good point also, but only a piece of the problem. The vast majority of guests stay offsite since that's where the vast majority of rooms are. Even if Disney didn't have the hotel capacity they have, I think we'd still be seeing the same crowding problem. There would just be more traffic on the roads coming onto property since even more people would be staying offsite.I agree that they have reached a saturation point, and partly because they continue to build resorts to house more people without providing attractions or experiences to spread out the numbers.
More attractions in the existing parks wouldn't reduce crowds. It might reduce wait times for individual attractions but there would be just as many people, if not more, in the park. A 5th gate would help disperse crowds some but at the same time, it would attract even more people to come to Disney to check it out so the effect might be minimal.
I think what they really need is to build elsewhere. Put a park in the center of the country somewhere. It's too bad Disney's America never got built. We would have gone to that for sure to get our Disney fix sometimes. Nothing anywhere would replace WDW but it would help. Building all of the overseas parks might help draw away some of the international guests but it's the North and South American guests that primarily pack WDW.
