Cars up, Harry slipping

DIS News has this post about attendance at California Adventure and other parks in 2012.  DCA attendance was up 23% no doubt due to Cars Land.  DLR was down about 1%, as more people focused on DCA.
Disney's net income in the second quarter went up 32 percent to $1.51 billion, partially due to its reinvestment in DCA. Disney's Chief Financial Officer, Jay Rasulo said this is working exactly as planned. "We had a very uneven distribution where most people spent most of their time at Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure was empty. Now, half of the folks go to one, half of the folks go to the other. It's almost a dream come true."
The post also mentions that attendance for Harry Potter was up only 4% in 2012.  Maybe wizards are old hat.
