Table service, which is most of our meals, costs more with less choices and tastes like they are using cheaper ingredients. It isn't terrible or anything, but it certainly isn't as good as it was in the past. I will give them credit for making some strides in quick service but that came after a...

That statement simply isn't true. Quality of food is down. Quality and variety of merch is down. They can NOT support 2018/19 levels of crowds because they did not expand capacity so have limited their upside. Maintenance is a bigger issue due to not only decreased spending but also lack of...

I think you mean 2016 as attendance increased in 2015 (up 2.5 mil). While if did decrease in 2016 it was a small dip (down 300k) and then went up again in 2017 (up 2.1 mil), 2018 (up 2.4 mil). 2019 is when I believe they hit their ceiling and people were finally fed up as attendance went flat...

Sports made 17 billion dollars in revenue last year with 2.5 billion in profit for Disney. Getting more eyeballs on your events through partnerships and cutting into costs is exactly the type of thing any good CEO should be doing. Also, bringing it DTC should make a difference. Yes, Disney owns...

Agreed to a point. DTC can't flop or underperform significantly vs. linear but I don't think it needs to match it anytime soon, just be heading in the right direction and get in the ball park

Makes lots of money still and will for the foreseeable future. They can shut it down once it doesn't or sell it off so I am not sure what your point is here. Good, because it will do more than break even. It doesn't have to reach linear at it's prime to be successful. Just under 50% for each...

True, only politicians, private owners, and C-Suit members of every large company to ever exist.

You just described human beings.

Why? The people showing up later in the day paid just as much money as you did. Is there some reason they should be left with nothing but their prebooks? I seriously don't understand that mindset. You already get short lines from early entry and rope drop. You are already going to be able to...

To be fair, they are doing exactly what the fans claim they want as there was a LARGE number of people who kept saying "just give us paid FP+". Well, looks like Disney listened.

There had to be some other mitigating circumstances for that to occur. Something like lots of rides being down all day or buying it late in the afternoon as it was near impossible to use the service on even a busy day and get less than three selections. That would imply that every single...

Many LL lines have a wait over 15-20 minutes, how do people having medical emergencies leave those? Also, I would argue that most lines you don't have to go very far before reaching an area that would be easy to exit. For example, many of the older rides have the LL right next to standby...

Is there some reason they can't try the other accommodations?

Just got back from it. It was pretty good but I had to reset my expectations about 30 minutes in. Those going in for a monster movie may find it a little slow or be disappointed but it is worth a watch if you take it for what it is.

I don't think you know the type very well if you think he is laughing at anything. $100 says stoking his ego is more important than the money.

Yes but that wasn't pristine tap water bottled at a Coke plant!

And then was promptly removed due to incompetence. I'm sure he can be a good executive it just isn't with a company like Disney.

I'm sorry but evil genius Iger theory where he somehow sees far enough into the future to know he will be able to set Chapek up and return triumphantly to save the day is a bit to tin foil for reality. Sure, he may have freaked out, but it is much more plausible he had been going back and...

What? Chapek was great. Except for going overboard on streaming, clumsily fumbling around in public causing numerous issues both internally and externally, pausing and then slow rolling construction to the point where Disney build times are now a joke, alienating workers and talent, driving off...

Gross.
