News Disney Parks Chief Josh D'Amaro Says Pricing Model Aims to Keep Vacations Affordable for Families

[aladdin2007]

Just a whole lot of PR word vomit.

yep just another exec out of touch

 

[Comped]

How many dates have that $104 pricing, Josh? Three? How much is a WDW value hotel per night, rack rate?

On average 2-3x that in my experience...

- and try to find any kind of shade structure in a place where that should have been the imagineers’ first thought, but inexplicably, was left out all together.

Disney Parks Chief Josh D'Amaro Says Pricing Model Aims but completely misses to Keep Vacations Affordable for Families​

FTFJ (Fixed it for Josh)

I don't even think they are aiming for that. They are only aiming to PR their way around things.

still can't believe no one is harping on Bob for his "income qualified" statement when it came to Abu Dhabi

Josh supported by Iger and Iger supported by the Board who were all reelected. A way for an exec to keep being an exec is having the full support of your boss or the Board . That’s reality 101.

 

[monothingie]

They should put these vultures in a value hotel with a typical family of 4 and a fixed budget and see just how "affordable" Disney really is.

But when you're making millions of dollars and live in a large mansion in the hills, the concept of affordability becomes relative. I mean the poor guy is probably barely scraping by with 1 yacht.

 

[adam.adbe]

I only think about how affordable Disney is about twice a year, so I guess that's why I'm not making the big bucks, and why both times I think "hmm, nope."

Just a whole group of “out of touch” people. What’s their average salary???

 

[Tha Realest]

Save yourself a lot of time. He doesn’t care about affordability unless it starts affecting future bookings. It’s all performative empathy from him.

Salary and bonus targets of Iger is set up by Disney Board. Nothing but crickets about that during shareholder Q&A with Iger. He’s paid well.

 

[Smiley/OCD]

Josh, “A typical family of 4 can still afford a week at WDW”…

 

[SpectroMagician]

It's not the price, its the product. The product is no longer a premium product after Iger forced Staggs out and sucked the parks dry. People are willing to pay for a premium product, but Disney ain't it.

 

[KDM31091]

He is delusional. They have only continually increased prices, reduced quality on many things, and given upcharge after upcharge at every opportunity.
