They want to visit the "real" america as well. And Disney prefer the captive audience... Then with a still strugling resort, they may not want to cannibalise the attendance of DLRP. And with the threat of Global Warming, anything that would heavily promote more people to use airplane strikes me as bit of akwards...

Then with a still strugling resort, they may not want to cannibalise the attendance of DLRP.

And they ARE missing a huge opportunity, as overall visitor numbers to the US in 2007 were up by more than 10% (including from Europe). The US saw 4.5million visitors from the UK alone, so the interest is strong and getting stronger (especially with the dollar continuing to slip). Disney just need to tap into that interest and let everyone know what a great place WDW is for a holiday right now!
