    MK Big Thunder Mountain to receive full retrack

    Funny you ignored all the other posts... I guess that's necessary to keep up the reality distortion field.

    MK Big Thunder Mountain to receive full retrack

    In other news... Disney is now about to finish up a major retrack of an attraction in just 16 months.. something most were expecting would take 18-24months.

    MK New Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin Updates Coming to Walt Disney World

    Props like nicknacks Disney has come to lean on in queues as 'details' are a cop out IMO. Give us some STAGING and ENVIRONMENT to set the mood and locale. Unfortunately the Buzz space is so tight, there was no space for anything except in the final room. Make us feel like we are in star command!

    DCL Buys Unfinished Mega Cruise Ship - Genting Golden Dream ???

    well.. I hope it works out for them. I see a few bright spots that look interesting to me, but overall the trend on the boat doesn't appeal to me or what my family needs. I know its for a different market.. but in the Disney universe its hard to have those uniquely different products. I've...

    you've never seen how they weight the construction walls down so they don't fall over??

    News Josh D’Amaro Named Next CEO of The Walt Disney Company

    But this compromise of 'good workers, for crap employment' is addressable by the employer. The employer can do a lot besides "pay more" -- This is proven over and over in good companies, how they TREAT THEIR EMPLOYEES is a huge factor in not just what people are willing to work for, but in...

    What happened to insiders?

    Why try to have forum notoriety when you would go to youtube or another monetized platform?

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    It's woefully dated - in both staging and ride tech. It was cool in it's time, but these days the shooter ride tech is very basic.. the preshow looks like a high school production compared to it's peers.. it's basic dark ride ride path isn't that compelling to younger audiences. Like many...

    News Josh D’Amaro Named Next CEO of The Walt Disney Company

    I'm speaking to the point that the stock performance simply hasn't been there. A topic driven largely by the company's inability to project confidence in ROI while being an incumbant in many dying or transitioning segments. Like I've said.. I think the amount of money being thrown around and...

    News Josh D’Amaro Named Next CEO of The Walt Disney Company

    But they are also commonly related. Disney as a consumer company built generations of loyalists and lifers through customer satisfaction and impressing the customer. It often operated with the mindset that quality will lead to returns. Unfortunately the company lost their way from that and...

    News Josh D’Amaro Named Next CEO of The Walt Disney Company

    Linear Networks ESPN Other unfavorable segments like video games even sports production consumer products I think DIS should be a content company - not a operator (except in their own DTC channel) The company spent so long growing through acquisition, while core businesses flatlined or...

    News Josh D’Amaro Named Next CEO of The Walt Disney Company

    I don't agree. The stock has struggled and moved largely based on forward forecasts. Be it outlook with ESPN/cable, streaming, park attendance, etc.. Which segment is the favorite or woe changes with the tides.. They aren't getting credit for what they've salvaged and just constantly get...

    News Josh D’Amaro Named Next CEO of The Walt Disney Company

    He’s just saying the prior leadership direction didn’t drive the stock… so with picking josh you are doubling down on the same formula.

    News Josh D’Amaro Named Next CEO of The Walt Disney Company

    Yes but remember we’re talking about the ceo of the entire company… not just the parks. Chef’s comment was the prior model isn’t working for the stock… so more of the same isn’t going to work. Customer POV rarely aligns with investor priorities.

    News Josh D’Amaro Named Next CEO of The Walt Disney Company

    They aren't using it to measure 'park management' - but COMPANY management. Parks just happens to be a central core of the company, so yes, how parks are ran is essential to the company's success and management plan. If you want examples of what makes the market move... that's still very...
