I would be pretty confident that Disney has a pricing team whose entire job is to model those effects.





And I'm sure they'll do what every pricing model analyst does, which is simplify things to N=1, average across all factors to determine what the market is willing to bear according to GDP, missing out how inequality of wealth plays into these market dynamics and potential customer base. The price is affordable as per the model, but in reality the only people that can afford it are a fraction of people who have most of the wealth, because N=!1 but 8.2B, of which only a fraction have the money to spend of frivolities when fighting tooth and nail for food, housing, and healthcare.
