    News Bob Iger is back! Chapek is out!!

    Below are responses to a tweet from the site that shall not be named (which is why I didn't paste it in a cleaner format). The content of the tweet being responded to was the going rate for Genie+ today. I imagine Eddie is not an insider but still interesting. He responded to a few others...

    News Bob Iger is back! Chapek is out!!

    Us Americans are so bizarre. We will pay through the nose to go visit some cute, charming resort town with human-scaled buildings close to narrow streets and limited parking, but try to build that near where people live their day-to-day lives and the pitchforks come out. So many want that...

    My shopDisney app hasn't worked on Android in months, possibly last year. The Disney+ app is starting to be unreliable on my Chromecast as well.

    An outlet where unsold merch goes to die is still open in Pigeon Forge too.

    News Bob Iger is back! Chapek is out!!

    I admit the decline of malls was a problem and there needed to be some exclusivity to brand. I still think they coud work in locations that have staying power where the ambiance and experience is part of the offering.

    News Bob Iger is back! Chapek is out!!

    Clearly more than zero by evidence of your example and the response it got. Maybe not mad but sadly reminded of what was lost. I think about it every time I see one of these displays, even when they aren't a mess. We all thought no one outside these boards noticed the decline in the parks, then...

    I can't remember if I posted it here or in the other thread....dance with the one who brought you and don't bite the hand that feeds. Its not that hard.

    News Bob Iger is back! Chapek is out!!

    Disney's core business is high quality entertainment and experiences. Fair or not, people simply expect more out of them and Disney use to relish and rise to that challenge more often than not. We are just doing what everyone else does or is allowed to get away with is not an excuse, especially...

    I can't say I agree. # of rides I think my toddler could do at each park right now... MK = 16 of 20, soon to be 21 (not counting Mark Twain or WDRR) Epcot = 7 of 11 DHS = 3 of 7 - maybe 4 of 7 (Slinky) AK = 3 of 7 (Wildlife Express is not a ride) Moving princesses, Marvel, Star Wars, and Toy...

    Yep. People sometimes forget kids 6 and under and those that can't do thrill for a variety of reasons need things to do too and shows are not the answer. Its a problem at every non MK park and is partially why MK has a crowd problem.

    Agreed unless the sale allows them to eliminate redundancies (i e., Hulu citing market oversaturation that previously didn't exist and the need to streamline distribution). Its definitely going to be about cutting costs, making Disney+ profitable, repairing relationships, improving perceived...

    They really do need to figure out what ESPN is going to be long-term.

    News Bob Iger is back! Chapek is out!!

    Closing the stores was a mistake but not in a way that is easily quantifiable on a spreadsheet. They were more than just merchandise movers to a lot of people. They were a taste of the parks, especially for those of us that live states away (particularly when they were in their a prime). They...

    Paramount/CBS should have a pretty decent library to pull from. Not quite Universal/NBC or Disney/ABC/FOX but stronger than some of those others that don't own a legacy studio or television network.

    I can understand not being excited about a guy who is primarily responsible for the guy who just got canned.

    Dance with the one that brought you and don't bite the hand that feeds. Its shocking how many executives lose sight of this.

    It was value-engineered down to an after hours party cupcake.

    It is and it isn't. Not everyone can or wants to devote that much time to an IP. A movie or two a year bridged by a single series, maybe. In the past 365 days, there have been 4 movies, 4 series, and 2 spinoff specials, correct?
