I don’t agree with most of your financials…however, I totally appreciate your watching out of market hockey games. I’m a Philly guy so go Flyers. But, I spent so many nights watching Hatcher and Modano vs. Sakic and Forsberg. Ah, the good old days…I mean…I am the espn generation…right in my wheelhouse. And a follower of all things sports…
And I never use it. Begrudgingly to watch out of market hockey games.
It’s just a terrible/repetitive product. Beholden to the nba (bad prosuct)…not really comprehensive enough on any sport to engage the modern degenerate gambling crowd.
I think it had its time. And it’s basically responsible for almost the entirely of one guys career. Don’t sleep on that factoid.
But I can’t see it.
Maybe it’s because I can’t stand mcafee and Stephen A so much?![]()
I’m 10 miles form center city…and I’m sure as HELL not watching in market gamesI don’t agree with most of your financials…however, I totally appreciate your watching out of market hockey games.

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming![]()
Wanna know why?You’re not counting Villain's Land.
Also, buried in that Orange County tax doc is a note about growth in short-term rentals (e.g., Airbnb) outpacing hotel room growth. That might be worth watching. I don't think Orlando's ever been a top market for Airbnb.
The parks can make off-site guests wait longer in line, so they have a built-in defense. I'd love to know if the people renting Airbnb are coming from value, moderate, or deluxe hotels.
We have discussed before. How Iger has been given a pass by Wall St to me will go down as one of the biggest mysteries ever…That’s my Star Wars argument:
“Look at all that money they make!”
Yeah…good thing they can’t track/report all the money they are NOT making due to product rot.
Shareholders would not be kind to those types of things if they were actually engaged…but they’re mostly computers anyway![]()
Working on it? These last projects have over promised and underwhelmed for most part. Removing something to replace with another without any expansion. All these years w/o a night parade and finally get one and by all means its good but far from great and doesnt top any of the previous ones… as Sir just said noone ever talks about the missed revenue this company or any company for that matter…I mean, they're definitely working on it. Its been multiple decades since they've moved with such speed and intent on so many projects across so many areas. Now, will an economic downturn slow them down?
Nobody said any of that…So attendance this past quarter at WDW didn't go down.
And hotel reservations were indeed up in accordance with last quarter's guidance.
And this next quarter's guidance is that reservations will go up even moreso.
Some like to present WDW is on the verge of collapse with guests abandoning WDW. Not happening.

Tron we lost nothing agreed was an expansionTRON was an expansion.GE and TSL was an expansion.Ratatouille was an expansion.Cosmic Rewind's gravity building was an expansion.Villains will be an expansion.Going from Primeval Whirl to Encanto will be an expansion (in footprint and capacity).Monster Inc Coaster is an expansion.
And that's just in Orlando.
And no one talks about missed revenue because how easily one can make up imagined billions that were "missed."
Just like one can make up that there is no expansion even in the face of contrary evidence.
The Walt Disney Company made a *profit* over over four and a half Billion dollars in just this one, past quarter.
$2B from parks and cruise lines$1B from Entertainment content (TV and movies)$1B from Sports.
In just one quarter.
But we were told over and over here how streaming would never be profitable for Disney….Guidance on streaming:
Projected profit for the fiscal year was $1.0B, now, it's $1.3B.
Cash booked hotel nights:
Q3 2024: 2,110,690
Q3 2025: 2,206,760
So about 5% more rooms booked with cash vs the prior year quarter
Relying on stock price to judge the health and performance of a company is itself unhealthy.Just a reminder to anyone who wants to buy into the smoke and mirrors.
Disney stock as of right now is worth what it was 10 years ago.
That is not the sign of a well run healthy company.
What’s the total room count (DLR, WDW, Aulani) including DVC (which DVC booked rooms are not counted as available room nights on the filings)?At 91 days in the quarter, that's 28,198 rooms per night.
At 86% occupancy that's around 32,788 domestic hotel rooms.
DLR has ~2,905
WDW has ~29,355
So that's 32,260. Plus whatever Hilton Head and Vero Beach have, which isn't much.
I'm sure there's some rounding in that 86%, but the numbers seem to line up.
