Disney Analyst: Spinning Off ESPN, ABC Is “Best Path Forward”: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/walt-disney-espn-abc-spinoff-analyst-1235285283/ Disney stock on its way to worst year since 1974 after ‘Avatar’ sequel disappoints...

I know one thing: the whole area needs a good power wash.

Chapek's biggest sin was speaking the truth out loud, like admitting the need to reduce food portion sizes to control costs. Sometimes you say it best while saying nothing at all -- don't give away the game. Chapek also didn't know how to smoothly handle the Florida political situation, or the...

This is like when the Christmas bonus is expected to be a a fat check and all you get is a ham instead. Very "Christmas Vacation" thing to do.

They are restoring the exterior and interior; they typically don't restore engines for non-flying aircraft used for historical preservation.

Can't wait for Splash Mountain to be gone, gone, gone.... bring on Tiana!!

Maybe not. But the crowds don't seem to be going anywhere. Eventually there will come a time when a 5th park makes sense, but now is not the time. A 5th park makes more sense than an entire new resort in Texas.

Thanks for the research and doing the hard work. Unlike others, I do think they will eventually do a 5th park. It won't happen soon, but maybe in 20 years. Ultimately, the need for more capacity and the threat of competition will drive the decision. The hands of time always bend towards...

Ta-da! Union reps playing it smart.

McKinsey being brought in would have set off alarm bells on Wall Street. They are destroyers. No wonder they kept them hidden.

We live in a culture that is obsessed with the self, so tattoos and piercings are here to stay.

I don't think we can pass complete judgement until the entire attraction is done, though what I'm seeing now leaves something to be desired. This is such low-hanging fruit in a prominent area of the park. A botancial garden connecting the front of the park and World Showcase may have been better.

It's a shame Steve Jobs isn't still alive... he would have made the perfect CEO. He knew how to make money, maintain quality, AND keep a loyal customer base. I could have seen him moving over to Disney in his latter years and aiming for a vision. If they can find someone of that caliber, then...

Apparently, Chapek was cooking the books at Disney. No wonder he got ousted!: https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/bob-chapek-shifted-budgets-to-disguise-disney-s-massive-monetary-losses/ar-AA14xEk1

Totally unexpected news, but thankfully the Board is doing their job and protecting the company. Chapek obviously wasn't ready (and may never have been) for the position. I figured Iger might be running for President but money talks. We need a visionary like Eisner again.

There's pressure on publicly-trade companies to please their real customers: stockholders. Stockholders are increasingly demanding more and more returns. In the past, a modest profit was considered a good thing; now investors want 100% year-over-year, product and service be damned. It's...

I just find it amusing that people are fine with disability representation but not the representation of other cultures elsewhere (the Splash Mountain conversion). It's the same concept: Disney is updating the ride to reflect modern society. Now before we get the obvious "But 'Small World' is...

No real need to remove them. They don't detract from your experience (*cough* pink birthday cake castle *cough*) and give a shout-out to the characters whose popularity helps fund the park. Win-Win.

Disney is relying on location and legacy to sell the price for what is basically a lackluster hotel. The recent renovations are comical; the theming to The Incredibles is all wrong. At this level, do they only do housekeeping every other day, as well? One could really make this a...

Expectations are just disappointments waiting to happen.
