Have to say that this is not surprising. Disney lacks leadership these days and is grossly overpriced. It is also not surprising that for the first time Universal surpassed them in growth. Disney needs new leadership. Someone who can right the lost ship and return them to their roots -- massive...

Disney won't close. Keep the Greed Machine running! Safety be damned. As Paul McCartney said, "It's just another day. . . . "

As someone who lives in Orlando and has a number of both worker bees and admin types in Disney and Universal as neighbors, Potter has slowed down this year. As I mentioned, It is a slow decent but a decent nevertheless. It peaked and now is declining. I can guarantee the same thing will happen...

Yes, for the first year. Maybe 2.

Time will tell. My prediction is that it will have a major spike which will top after about 12-16 months and then a slow but steady decline.

I still think it is "Been there. Done that." It lacks originality that Disney used to be known for. A stale, bland ordinary feeling. In addition, it has the horrible effect of taking away the Osbourne Family of Lights. TONS of people would flock to see this as it was one of the most...

I am thinking that Star Wars is yesterday. It has had its time and though popular to a degree, is on the downswing. If Disney wanted to do this, they should have done so 15-20 years ago when Star Wars was in its prime. It is just another example of the lack of creativity and ORIGINALITY that...

This is a very sad sight. It is another example of how Disney has lost their way. They have forgotten their roots (via Walt) and lack the creativity they were known for. They have lowered their standards to compete with Universal. I have never heard so many people disenchanted with Disney...

There is a difference between "evolving" and ruining a legacy. Disney is doing the later!

I agree with you. They have "revamped" it to the point where it is no longer recognizable. I do not view this as an upgrade but rather a destruction of the legend that Walt built. Very disturbing. That is the problem when you have 30 something year olds running the company. Still too wet behind...

They are still the new face of greed in America.

This is the problem when shareholders mean more than customers. Disney is now the new face of greed in America.
