You're absolutely right. This is why they are doing it to themselves. Disney needs to look like they have the lights on. This is their play to salvage future bookings. As the headlines get spookier and the virus sticks around, I dunno what those future bookings are gonna look like. Images of...

Disney Springs doesn't require navigating thru a compulsory registration system just to go inside. Good to hear they can make a go of it with the world on fire. When MK reopened, they relentlessly pushed Splash merch on the ebay sellers with no shame. Ppl hauling trash bags of plushes out...

Got some news on rumored tensions in CCPland. I won't repeat what WDWPro has documented well in his own thread, so I'll cut to the chase. I don't think the Chinese parks are getting sold. There certainly doesn't seem to be any buyers. And I also feel like the CCP is willing to hold on to...

Disney is straight up using quantum math to claim this operation is profitable. It is not. We all see the deserted theme parks and lack of guest spending. Yet, there's many Disney spinsters trying to tell us that what we see isn't really what we see. They're good at that. Look at the failed...

It's decent. A little better than Universal sometimes. There's not much there to spend on tbh. Painting. Lighting. High guest contact surfaces. Simple stuff.

37 pages. I shoulda logged in and caught up last night. I *will* be back shortly.

*logs in* “Oh, 27 pages” *walks away from monitor* I’ll be back to add more later on. 😂

I'm tearing thru a Sam Adams summer pack I got on sale. Maybe five deep now?

Midnight here on the best coast.

All the OG people coming back is necessary. We are at the precipice of the most titanic change in the company's history. We all know it. COVID-19 has called out a lot of business bluffs. Disney is no different. They just have a decade of *insane* customer management ditching the middle class...

That largely depends on how certain financial circumstances play out. Disney is pretty screwed. WDW is losing more money than if they stayed closed. They say staying open is worth it to encourage future bookings. Thus, its like a loss leader for future sales. I dunno what to say to that logic...

The global economic depression we are entering will send Orlando tourism volume crashing back to the early 90s. I think the entire region did like 40 mil a year back then? Good luck spreading that around all the new stuff that's opened since. I can't wait and I for one look forward to $99...

The latter for sure.

I think every park in Orlando will be down to five day operating weeks in the not too distant future. WDW will put it off to the bitter end because that will completely torpedo future bookings and their optics of a resort that can stay open. Reality: this resort cannot stay open as it is...

I know there's probably some overlap with my posts and that of WDWPro, whom I find to be an excellent read. IMO, this is a person who is "legit" and they are posting good info. Don't take anything I post as some attempt to steal spotlight off their content.

Likewise it is wonderful to see so many old school names dropping in. Not wanting to read a bombardment of dumb people to get to the good ones is why I kept hesitating to post. Not because I care about them. But because it takes time to mute/block/troll whoever is in the way of the good stuff...

Makes a lot of sense. Las Vegas has same . Gov. Sisolak had to lay the law down on masks in casinos. Before, one could tell by social media who was enforcing the rules and who wasn't. Lots of social media posts from Cosmopolitan and MGM Grand. Not much at all from Wynn or Venetian.

Statistically, yes. Enough of WDP&R management is total garbage that simply removing their ranks will produce better outcomes. Disney has some of the dumbest True Believers in the industry. Its no wonder they are so hapless in a time of crisis.

On a macro level its definitely due to COVID-19. We have three decently sized tourism markets in the USA to study right now. We'll start with Las Vegas. It's a show. We sit on occupancy in the mid teens during the week and then host a bunch of sick Californians on the weekends. I'd also...

Oh man. I have logged in, written drafts, deleted them, and swore I would never do this. Yet here I am. And I'm ready to start some . The Walt Disney Company is about to experience some of the deepest layoffs I have ever witnessed in my adult life. I would call attention to the 2002 and...
