Agreed. But some in this thread seem convinced it is a realistic possibility.

Sadly the practicality of these suggestions isn't a prerequisite to them being mentioned. Much like threats of a jail or toll roads on Disney property, it is all just hot air to try to hurt those standing on the other side of the fight. DCL didn't accidently establish cruise terminals in...

Succeeding in politics is about playing to the crowd, and appealing to >51% of your voters.

Usually your first instinct is the correct one. In this case Disney kept quiet initially, even if they were working in the background regarding the law. The vocal minority pressed the issue and forced Chapek into speaking out. Because Disney's business is entertainment, seems to me they...

Fundamentally speaking, anytime you alienate even a small portion of your customers, it is bad for the bottom line. I do not reside in Florida, so I have absolutely no skin in the game and I don't get a vote. But I am a Disney shareholder. I have no ability to exert any pressure on DeSantis...

Not disappointed at all, I only urge caution when picking sides, especially when you have a failure to recognize your bread and butter customer that is paying the bills. I get that. But companies should use caution. If you need recent reference, Anheuser-Busch is a good example. The buyers...

Good for them. I'm not a shareholder of those companies. But I am of Disney. So when the the company makes a step that affects the stock value, it affects me. Thus I am not impressed when they commit an unforced error. Especially when they have fiduciary duty to me.

Really? Mutually exclusive? Seems like a partisan take. I believe Disney and the board should be focused on their fiduciary duty to the shareholders, and I don't believe that weighing in on political matters falls within that duty. Especially when it could be perceived to alienate parents of...

I wonder how much state time/money/resources this Senator utilized to put together this completely unsolicited bill that has effectively a zero chance of success.

For sure. Disney is supposed to have a fiduciary responsibility to the share holders. Making business decisions that aren't in the interest (long or short term) of returning value for the shareholders is a violation of that responsibility.

But not teaching slavery is?

I'm not offended by condemning slavery. Not sure how you got there or if I mislead you... I referred to slavery as atrocities, which google defined as: an extremely wicked or cruel act, typically one involving physical violence or injury. I condemn it in the most severe method in which my...

Yep, for so many I feel like this was a big loss. At least Iger reversed one decision - regarding Hotel parking fee$.

You are so right. America organically invented slavery without precedent. And no examination about mindset (justification, etc.) of that time would be useful to help prevent the possibility of history repeating. Let's keep it narrow and focused.

Slavery has been a part of history (and practically all countries/civilizations) since the beginning of time. Please do not pretend that America was unique in the exploitation/deployment of those atrocities. If we are going to teach people to hate America, we should at least be fair and make...

I feel like you may not have your fingers on the pulse of the typical American vacationer. I believe it is a minority of folks that want to plan out every minute of their vacation, though there are certainly some out there. Most people want to have fun, relax some, and not be on a...

And if they wouldn’t haven chosen a side, they would still have RCID right where it was.

I've missed the buffet since it closed, but I have a hard time believing the quality (or value for that matter) will increase with a QSR over the buffet. However, I'm always happy to have WDC prove me wrong. Go ahead, I dare ya!

And when ROTR goes down after waiting in line for 1.5 hours, I really get that special magic Disney feeling deep inside. ”Well, you can wait longer, the ride might come back up today, but if you leave you lose your spot in line.” Oh and no refunds on our up charge to allow you to ride a ride...

Yes! I’d happily pay an extra 20 or 30 bucks on the tickets, but having to buy genie then spend the whole trip with my nose in my phone screen? I can stay home and surf my phone screen all day for a hell of a lot cheaper.
