I'm sure they don't, but from a business point of view, those people really don't matter.
Like I said, if they were to reduce the number of people in the park by say 50%, that means that everyone would have to pay double in admission to maintain the same income. A 3-day park ticket is already almost $400. Do you really think enough people would be willing to pay $800 for a 3-day ticket to offset the number that wouldn't be willing to pay that? And would that extra cost of admission reduce the amount those people spend on souvenirs, food, events/shows, etc...? And would a 50% reduction in guests really make it "feel" any less crowded? (the distribution of people in the park is far from "normal")
I'm going to side with Disney on this one. I assume the big mouse has done extensive studying in this area, and they are probably pretty close to matching what the market will handle.
Not to mention that they are trying other methods to reduce crowds and wait times. They now allow you to schedule your rides during 1-hour time slots to avoid waiting for up to 3 rides a day (our last trip we didn't wait more than 15 minutes for any ride because my wife was able to schedule them for the whole trip). And there are options for some customers to get a cast member to go with them all day and basically skip all lines for a few $1000 if you want.
