Disney is 100% not ready for Epic, they got cocky. But they are not going anywhere, nor will attendance at their parks plummet.
The Poly DVC hotel is being built at a ridiculous Universal-esque pace right now, so when they are incentivized they can really push construction.
The only park in "danger" of losing attendance in the interim is DAK unless they come up with a new festival/nighttime show.

Yup - announce MSEP or Paint the Night is coming to MK or DHS, and you will see the parks rebound. Don't underestimate the fandom.Disney can get by in the interim by adding things like new nighttime parades and shows. They don't take as long to develop as rides, and in some cases actually attract more attendance from Disney guests than a new ride does.
