Given the original topic of this thread - isn't the fall rather extreme long term planning?

How well did that work out?

Why does it have to be either/or ??

You made me think of another way to make money - bread used to be free but isn't any more. Use of tables also is free but Disney is under no obligation to continue that - so we could have a table charge as well. If we added timers we could charge by the minute as well. $.5.99 for bread...

Would this be a good time to bring up the "Disney is a business and they are making the most profit for their shareholders as possible" line? They must have studied the costs of having more food on the table vs having more servers on the floor - and the numbers come down on the more food side...

I thought it was acceptable to ask for the service dogs training certificate (license/diploma - I am not sure just what it is called - Sorry) and require that it is wearing the identification vest.

This benefit may not be intended for front line cast members but only extended to them so that it would not be taxable to the other employees for which it is intended. There is something about "special" benefits for only some employees in the tax code so this may just be a way around that...

I am sorry but I have to finish one of your sentences for you It's not personal but this is a pet peeve of mine. There is always someone willing to do any job if you are willing to pay them sufficiently to do it. It's not Americans, it's not people coming across the border, it's not martians...

I'm sure the plans for Disney's Year of 100 cupcakes are well underway by now.

If I remember correctly - the land Universal just bought was land they owned back in the day and then when they got sold to GE ( who never had any idea what to do with the parks) and then to Vivaldi ( I think - but some European company) where the land was sold as part of the typical asset...

I have a strong feeling that at this particular point in time Chapek doesn't spend any more time thinking about WDW than it takes to butter his morning toast. Today's 3 priorities are 1. streaming , 2 streaming , 3. streaming. That's where the real money will be made if they pull it off...

What I don't understand is why Disney doesn't increase their own rental offerings to what people staying at the resorts actually need. If the onsite offering provided by Disney were "comparable ( even if slightly more expensive) then people would use them. Disney wants me to schedule my vacation...

Is this a good time to bring up the "Disney is a business" argument? I mean if there are so many people renting equipment from outside vendors then Disney is leaving money on the table by not increasing their own rental supply and having competitive costs/ availability. That is what most...

Disney could sell a cardboard box that follows you home! Kids would love it. Another original idea from a failing mind.....

I suspect Muppet's will be replaced by the Town Cryer (??) announcing the daily closing stock quote
