What strikes me is it appears Josh is already acting the part of CEO. There is no behind the curtain whispers that Bob is jealous and wants to hold on--rather that it appears he is already checked out. Big difference from when Chapek took over, just my opinion.

By the way, how many people know the infra structure of the Tree of Life in Animal Kingdom is an oil rig?

Come on, be brave--nominate Bob Chapek.

At the current price of $200+ per ticket, a family of four pays out $800+ plus food/merchandise. No park should have fewer than 25 attractions for a full day of entertainment. Currently only MK meets this threshold. Until this threshold is met in all WDW parks, talking about a new gate is not...

I am not overly savvy when it comes to corporate finances. The quarterly earnings report included a tidbit of Disney buying back some 7 million shares. So why do that rather than retire some of their 11 billion in debt? I am sure there is an answer, could someone on this forum advise me on...

To no ones surprise, Josh got the job. Dana was given promotion IMO to calm Wall Street concern that Josh has no creative experience (it appears to have worked, Stock opened at 104.78 and closed at 104.22). Now we all get to watch and comment like back seat drivers. After all, every poster...

If I was to guess, Disney BOD wanted him to stay to steady nerves on Wall Street to keep the stock price from full free fall.

Baked dog?

At this point it would be a major upset if Josh was passed over. My personal opinion is when Dana mishandled the Jimmy Kimmel affair, it destroyed her chance of getting the big chair. Too bad as I thought she would have been the better choice.

Could some one please remind me of any request that Disney has made that the board has denied, as far as I know there has not been one request denied. So no real effect on how WDW has been run since the change. The only pain Disney has had in the past several years if the constant over...

Does this come with or without plastic straws --- LOL

The only restaurant that still rates high on our list is Tiffins (just went to the Turf Club at Saratoga Springs and it still has the best Prime Rib in WDW). So many we used to enjoy that are now disappointments like the Boathouse in Disney Springs. The one that is now totally unacceptable, in...

The original menu had ham, was really disappointed when they went to the pork. Have not eaten here in over 10 years, so maybe we will give it another chance.

So my wife and I stopped once to try it out. The cupcake was ok, not super great that left us saying let's try this again. It was more like, nice but for the price we can take a pass. The only surprise to me is that it took so long for the end to come, though I always feel a little sad when a...

This is interesting info--if so why only one year?? The TV ratings are low and the program is bleeding money. Iger may have approved, but he will be gone in a few months. This has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with profitability. If the show was making money I would be the...
