    News Disney Lakeshore Lodge (Project 89 - Development near Fort Wilderness)

    So Wilderness Lodge is not the Lodge next to Fort Wilderness, Lakeshore Lodge is. That won't be confusing at all to new WDW guests.

    News The Walt Disney Company Board of Directors Extends Robert A. Iger’s Contract as CEO Through 2026

    One reason ISS thinks he would make a good addition: ISS, whose recommendations are influential among institutional investors, cited Disney’s “failed” succession planning in the CEO role in its report backing Peltz, whose Trian Partners. In November 2022, Bob Iger returned as chief executive of...

    ESPN, Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery to launch joint sports streaming platform

    I saw that Amazon Prime recently purchased a minority stake in Bally's/Diamond Sports Group. Prime is probably going to get access to all the Regional Sports networks games (Like Devils and Mets games) in the near future that will carry all the local market NHL/MLB/NBA games. Looks like you...

    Wish (Walt Disney Animation - November 2023)

    Did Chapek green light this movie? Sounds like an hour and a half Black Friday commercial reminding everyone about all the great Princess IP Disney owns, from Entertainment Weekly, which is very friendly to Disney... Wish is cute for a feature-length Disney advertisement

    Activist investor ValueAct has been building a stake in Disney On CNBC TV the guys were saying ValueAct could actually be Bobs ally to counter Peltz. They have been buying shares since the Summer and "They have already been in dialogue with Disney management." Bob's would much rather work with...

    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    They said the same thing about The Marvels. I heard Princess Fatigue could be a problem. Hope you are right.

    I hope the movie is good or we could be having this same discussion again about the box office.

    Captain Marvel 2: "The Marvels" -- Nov 10, 2023 Theatrical Release

    Baseless grudge? 🤣 That directive came from Disney when they purchases Marvel because they didn't own the movie rights to Fantastic Four and Fox was making most of the profits from that franchise. Disney decided that if they are going to do the work and create some great new stories, let make...

    Captain Marvel 2: "The Marvels" -- Nov 10, 2023 Theatrical Release

    Right, So Perlmutter was in charge when he started the MCU in 2008 and ran it until 2015. How was the MCU performing during those years? How was the MCU doing when Bob moved it in 2015 vs today?

    Captain Marvel 2: "The Marvels" -- Nov 10, 2023 Theatrical Release

    Then why were the movies extremely profitable and well received when he was Marvel CEO but now that he is gone the opposite seems to be true? I love how the "we don't like his politics crowd" says he had absolutely nothing to do with Marvels success but now that he is gone, Marvel can't seem to...

    News The Walt Disney Company Board of Directors Extends Robert A. Iger’s Contract as CEO Through 2026

    I love how people think Perlmutter is just some random investor coming to break up the company. They all forget he was CEO of Marvel at the creation of Marvel Cinematic Universe. They forget Marvel movies were much more entertaining (and Profitable) when he was in charge verses what Disney is...

    Rumor Higher Speed Rail from MCO to Disney World

    I could also see a "park and ride" station in East Tampa's major crossroads at I-75 and I-4 connection. There could be decent demand for traffic free 100+mph service to Orlando and Miami from there.
