ehh I don’t have perfect in the username, so I could totally fake it 😂😂

If I wasn’t a perfect dopey, I’d probably take a few years break and run some of the world major races

There’s new leadership at runDisney?

Have your run their races? 8-10 years ago they were really well run, with plenty of volunteers and race staff to keep them running very smoothly. Back then, their prices weren’t much more than other major city races and the quality could be justified. Fast forward to now, and their races are...

They ran the nighttime races through 2015, and they were truly some of the best experiences. Keeping the parks open late and giving runners access was an awesome experience, one that will sadly never come back without a leadership change and a sudden realization that constant increasing prices...

As someone who has run in more than a dozen runDisney events (I’ve honestly lost count now), anything that might impact volunteer #’s is disappointing. One of the things that used to make the Disney races great was the whole experience (which includes volunteers). They give away a couple of...

It’s almost like some of us knew this would happen…

I think spinning the parks off would not work in the long run, only because of the IP ties. By keeping core content and the parks, they could restore imagineering to its old and successful way of working without needed to deal with deals/agreements/contracts, etc. Parks would finally get the...

I’d challenge that and say the best thing for the Disney company would be to shed their tv assets, and focus only on core content creation (movies, Disney tv shows) and the vacation offerings (parks, cruise). This would free up capital by selling off abc and espn, while also permitting a drop in...

I mean, can’t we say that about everyone accounting for lost wages and the impacts of inflation? Just get a side gig, start a “passive income” gig, etc? I was more interested in whether the strike got a higher wage and the company responded in kind with an hours reduction that would eliminate...

Do we have numbers on hours being cut back though, or just here-say? Getting an hour rate bump is great for them, but if they’re averaging less hours per week, it’d be easy for them to walk away with less.

I will also be on that cruise!

I’ve said this so many times as well. Hell, I’ll go as far as guarantee board and share holders to reinstate significant dividends and profits every quarter and even give them a no golden parachute contract to go with it. Wouldn’t take me half a year to turn the ship, it just might be a little...

Does anyone remember I’d they had a discount rate last year for the holiday season?

Could be a bit of both. From my perspective, bobby didn’t really do anything for Apple, but I also will be the first to admit that I never have liked him, so it may be my bias coming out.
