This says more about Disney seeing what sticks and shows a lack of understanding of their product than anything else. Disney wants cruise ships and stores, they seem not to want to run theme parks.
We're definitely seeing a Disney company thats realized how expensive it is to keep theme parks fresh. Cruise ships and stores don't require a stream of constant capital injections. They just require a refurb every once in a while.
Obviously these Cabanas are a test. I assume the permanent Cabanas will be themed and look far nicer. I've always said that SeaWorld was decades ahead of the curve with Discovery Cove. I think Disney is starting to steal their ideas. Build a park, or a collection of experiences, that gives you a private, intimate, boutique experience if you're willing to pay.
I just hope that they don't have to gut the theme parks to bring that vision to life.
