That is not a sustainable “growth” strategy in a world with economics in play
I hate to be that guy (I’m lying)…
But the absolute worst case scenario is Bobby recalculated and is eyeing another expedited exit.
Wha?
I’ll elaborate.
He’s sucks, he’s an egomaniac…but keeping him has its advantages. Notably stability and the appearance of “fixing it”
He’s gotta do something.
But what if now he’s in ego repair Mode and he simply wants to get SOME of the stock losses back to claim victory and depart?
And who would take over then?
Yep…cruella. And ego score for Bobby.
And they will be worse shape 2 years from now.
We’ll be holding our 2028 PML barbecue/mixer at the Comcast kiddie park…or the Carnival Victory
No option to upgrade to Royal or Norwegian??
I have serious doubts anyone but Christine becomes the next CEO. And she'll continue down the same path Iger established and $lappie got the boot for following. This company needs someone running the company ala Eisner/Wells in the mid-to-late 80's, not a near-70-year-old current CFO with no running mate.

The quarterlies provide no insight into the parks segment…they never have
The annual reports provide one factoid that is near always ignored in the wash.

She’s not young…I’m holding out hope that’s a disqualifier.

I still don't understand all the angst over reservations... I get it's a big change from before, but it makes sense to me.

It’s a bridge too far on “planned fun”I still don't understand all the angst over reservations... I get it's a big change from before, but it makes sense to me.
It’s a direct link to paid line spots, Annual pass suspension/price increases/restrictions, it interferes with booking food, resort time, etc.
It’s a figurehead of an operation that has lost its way…more than anything.

I don't care that much about reservations, but I absolutely hate the park hopping restrictions -- not sure I'll return until they're eliminated, or at least pushed 2-3 hours earlier.
Unlimited hopping makes the reservations less useful for Disney, which may be why they haven't eliminated the restriction, although it's not like every guest (or even the majority) has hopper tickets.

But if you’re booking restaurant reservations isn’t that a soft park reservation? I don’t think park reservations are the biggest issue here.

I think Disneyland has a good balance with the new 11am rule.

Yeah, 11 AM would be okay. I'd prefer no restriction at all, but it'd be hard to go to one park and hop to another by 11 AM anyways at WDW when considering transit time, unless you just tapped in and immediately left for the other park.

On our recent trip my youngest kept on hopping over to Epcot & DHS to ride TT and Smuggler’s Run using the single rider line.I still don't understand all the angst over reservations... I get it's a big change from before, but it makes sense to me.
On our last day he wanted to do that again, but we couldn’t switch his MK reservation for either. We tried the night before and again in the morning. I think it was because the AP blackouts were lifted that day (Jan 3rd).
I felt so bad he couldn’t do them one more time. I just wish he could have gone over early, ridden them and come back to join us.

If you look at it that way…yesBut if you’re booking restaurant reservations isn’t that a soft park reservation? I don’t think park reservations are the biggest issue here.
But look at it the opposite: I can’t get a “reservation” to studios so I can’t go to brown derby at 11 before it gets stifling hot
Nothing would hypothetically tick me off more than that

Hey what the hell? I was around…you couldn’t meet up and do a couple of dozen Jell-O shots with me??
That’s cold

For me it’s because I will come to FL to visit my parents. We’ll decide to go to Disney for a day trip and try to pick a day based on the weather that week, and then can’t because it’s sold out. This has happened several times.I still don't understand all the angst over reservations... I get it's a big change from before, but it makes sense to me.

Hint: that would be a No!

You’re absolutely right though. I know exactly what parks I’m going to and what days I’m doing it when I plan multi-day trips, so the reservations don’t really matter to me.
