Forbes: Disney Facing Furious Backlash Over $17 Billion Theme Park Investments

Sorry, I may have incredibly missed your point you were making!

My post was more about fan sentiment that is being called out in the article, and that it aligns with other sentiment from fans we hear so shouldn’t be discarded as meaningless. Not really about the author. But, anyways, let’s move on.

I think it was the specific line you chose to quote from my post that confused me. No worries, obviously that was not your intent.

Sorry for jumping down your throat, I’ve been playing whack-a-mole with her articles for a bit too long.

I realized that after. sometimes I just grab a line that catches my eye, but then go in a bit of a different direction with my post, and never bother to go back to the original post I quoted.

And they have to be standing on the Disney pavement to do so. Parking lots don’t count!!!

And they must not have an online footprint of any kind.

I can’t wait to hear what moral and or journalistic failings the Ny Post has (or its writers) and why we can’t rely on it to gauge any public opinion whatsoever. And TripAdvisor too

There's Apples. And there's Oranges. This list has both. But point taken, "magic" only goes so far.

Well it’s a rag and always has been

Newscorp will always take swipes at Disney too

I assume you were kidding about “motive”, right?

Surveys in theory can mean absolutely nothing when you weed out who you do or dont want taking them…. disney sends plenty some i get im not who they looking for as i have posted some i get to fill out. Im sure this is NOT specific to Disney at all. So if a article needs to be swayed a certain way it will be

Yeah, it kind of reminds me of how the products with the highest reviews on Amazon tend to be the simplest ones, because while it’s possible to make a crappy measuring cup, or tote bag, or napkin holder, it’s not that hard to make a really good one either. Whereas even pretty great electronics and such often end up with 4 star ratings because there’s way more space for things to go wrong there.

I just did a survey last week…

Yawn…they’ve become not too clever in their trying to get you to bury the lead

so who needs to hit the “stop” button and look at better alternatives? Are the higher ups just too scary to confront??

I would urge everyone here to not take the source seriously stop reading Caroline Reid or any Forbes article on Disney Parks for that matter. The writer is extremely biased, sources awful arguments and is not a good source for theme park news. This is the same author that is telling people Moana should have replaced Splash Mountain in MK's Frontierland.

The author isn't the source and the article only reiterates what we already knew...
