News The Walt Disney Company Board of Directors Extends Robert A. Iger’s Contract as CEO Through 2026

So how long do we think it will take for Hulu to disappear and all of it’s shows to get rebranded as “Disney+ original”?

Hulu really should eventually get rebranded to Star like its equivalent in the rest of the world (since they need a general non-kid show tile), but Disney won't do that because of Hulu's capital with US consumers. Especially once the Hulu Live TV is either merged with Fubo or killed off, which is likely.

Yeah, my money's on 'shortly after Hulu+Live gets subsumed into Fubo', too.

Well that ended fairly silently and non dramatically.

[Disney Analyst]

Iger has stated publicly at the opening ceremony today for Disneyland’s 70th, and on a GMA interview, that Disneyland welcomes near 30 million guests a year.

Which is a shocking number when compared to what TEA/AECOM reports.

This is the first time I’ve heard Disney publicly share an attendance figure.

So what do we think the real clicks are for MK? Who is the top dog of theme parks for attendance?

Could it be possible he meant Disneyland resort as a whole because that would 30 million based on the reports.

MK significantly under-reports. I'm not sure I can say how much publicly, but I was told a number that is far higher than TEA reports.

What does TEA/AECOM report?

I'll bet it's this. You combine the two park, 2023 was almost 28 million people.

That’s combined with California adventure and everyone that streams through downtown

 

[Disney Analyst]

Very possible.

His exact words at the ceremony today were “he would be awestruck at the fact that nearly 30 million guests go through the gates of this beloved Disneyland, each year”.

Which makes it sounds like Disneyland proper, but maybe internally they just see both gates as “Disneyland”.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

If you’re gonna take everything that the wease says on good morning America on abc as NOT being for PR…might I interest you in some prime swampland? Good price…but just for YOU

Disneyland is the name of the whole complex also

This is why I was hoping some people in the know could offer clarity. Is this PR speak? Is this Disneyland resort? Or Disneyland.

Etc.

Everything Disney on good morning America is a commercial. They pay for it…so it makes sense. But never “journalism”

 

[JD80]

I would be surprised if TEA was wrong by nearly 10-12M people.

Perhaps meant the resort's total not the individual theme park's. DL, DCA, and DTD all combined .

Always my favorite part of these commercials…

…you’re kidding, we couldn’t tell!
