It will definitely be authentically Disney and distinctly Chinese!

Ni hao Dave! Hahaha lil Jimmy #AuthenticallyDisneyDistinctlyChinese

I will take Daisy Ridley, you all can have the speeder bike ride. :D

Hahaha, best post... @WDW1974

It's nice to see a Tomorrowland that actually looks futuristic and not retro. Also, the park seems to be very big with lots of space between attractions.

I really think all this plays more into Tom Staggs' legacy than it does Bob's.

After multiple acquisitions in the past 10 years it isn't abnormal for them to restructure and reduce redundancies. For example, I would imagine there are studio consolidations since they don't need overhead and production units for Marvel, Lucasfilm and WDS. Likewise they probably consolidated...

"We expect to continue significant investments across our Worldwide Parks segments, which we believe will help us to further grow this business for many years to come."

B.D. Wong was in the original movie. Pratt is a mega movie star now. D'Onofrio is a good actor and was recently in The Judge. Television is not a lesser form of acting... McCaughahey was just on TV.

Not to mention they perfectly weaved in enough of the original movie to make the nostalgia flow. The acting was also far superior than the originals which helps a great deal. This movie actually had a thought out story, one that in a world of cloning dinosaurs made more realistic sense than say...

I agree, also I just saw Jurrasic World and thought it was great. They did a great job reviving this franchise and it's obvious why the movie has been such a hit.

It's the only up charge event I've ever been interested in attending but won't attend because I won't be paying extra on principal. If I had children I'm sure that would change if they wanted to see something like the Christmas or Halloween party. I am actually somewhat excited to walk around...

There are quite a few full circle type stories with Disney and Pixar. All of Pixar's films were made with Disney, Lasseter, ILM eventually being bought by Disney and reunited with Pixar... Pretty ingrained. Arguing whether Lacasfilm or Marvel fit the Disney mold is one thing but denying how well...

Finally a competitor to Club 33!

I wonder if the Spirit came across this but China's remarks on Greece were entertaining. The kind of jabs they throw are quite great... Premier Li Keqiang had the following to say (background info China owns some Greek ports thus having a stake in their future): He desribed Greek Prime...

I think Strategic Planning never went away, it just previously reported to Jay. Now it reports directly to Staggs and Iger. Essentially they removed some responsibility from the CFO role prior to naming McCarthy the CFO.

Well said.

My last sentence references TWDC... In general though these groups shouldn't be an absolute horror.

Strategic planning could be very positive if done by the right people. Strategic planning is essentially supposed to take issues handed down by a COO or CEO so that a dedicated team can think up strategic solutions to pitch to the CEO/COO. Similar to how WDI and Bob just pitched a few plans for...
