I wouldn't take your financial advice. You clearly are viewing the company through rose colored glasses and trying to make up excuses for poor performance. The dividend yield for Disney was crap before the pandemic so stop trying to pretend that is the grand excuse for their poor performance...

Ignore the pandemic and just look at the dividend yields in the past years after the pandemic... they are crap and haven't been even 1%... You have to go back to the 1980's to get a yield that is even close to what Comcast has been getting in the past decade. The reality is the shareholder of...

You can save yourself a lot of time by just looking at the stock performance from the time of the deals to today... For comcast their stock went from 35.50 to 34.70 so it lost a bit but they had total dividend payments of 7.09 during that time so an investor got a net gain of 6.29.... for Disney...

I think the biggest reason you felt less tempted is that Disney has been in a race to the bottom when it comes to the merch they sell. I've been going since my parents took me the first year they opened and sometime in the 80's the merc seems to have started being a little less special... then...

But they didn't call it Splash Mountain land... it fit into an area called Frontierland... It simply would make more sense if they stuck with more generic lands and not base this one on one particular movie franchise. Frankly Carsland would make a lot more sense in Hollywood Studios. I think...

I really have to question the long-term viability of a segment of the park dedicated to a particular movie franchise. When you have Tomorrow Land you can move in and out rides that have nothing to do with each other because they still represent the future... can make changes in the other lands...

What the hell happened to her tail? No shiny scales just a what appears to be a big flannel wrap that someone pulled out of a thrift store garbage bin. The appear to have spent lots of money on other things but ignored the tail... I've seen countless high school productions of The Little...

If you've been living in a cave since covid you might think that. For the rest of the people in the US when covid hit and the government started throwing money at people it started inflation which just went up and up and up and that was way before any tariffs. And the problem with inflation is...

If they would just stop the tiered pricing based on age and charge everyone from 1 month old to 100 years old the same price, then throw on a ticket requirement for every stroller and a lot of the problems would be eliminated. Anything to cut down on the toddlers and strollers would open a...

If you want mystery pins, use Ebay. It may cost more than the original price of the pin but you don't have to buy 4 different ones before you get the one you actually wanted. Have done that for one my daughters that collects pins while it might require you to wait a few weeks when they first...

Abu Dhabi's international mix of visitors only had 20% from the middle eastern area. They have been and are trying to pull in visitors from outside that area. The UK alone accounts for more tourist into Abu Dhabi than Saudi Arabia which is right next door.

Oh, I don't think it is a good idea. It reminds me of the 80's when EIsner ended the showing of classic films in theaters on a rolling basis and jumped on the stick it on video and sell the video... It made a lot of money at the moment but it cost them long term. That's what you will have with...

That and the fact that it won't cost them anything because another company is doing all the work... This is basically just selling off IP to a part of the world they were never going to go into.

A dry heat is fine when it's in the 90's... but we are talking 110... when you get into triple digits I don't care if its a dry heat or humid heat, it's still too hot to enjoy anything.

Regardless of what they end up allowing, how many people want to visit a theme park in 110 degree weather. Frankly the location is the biggest problem unless they find a way to build the entire park indoors.

They used to think they had endless amount of money... but as the oil reserves showed that they weren't endless they finally decided to try and find other sources of revenue. Tourism seems to be the favored idea for a lot of these middle eastern countries, though I am wondering... I've...

Then they better hope for a different WDI that what they currently have.

I think they told the artist it would have rides and attractions that fit within the local religion. The artist realize nothing would really fit so he just pained colors and hoped nobody would notice. There are so many things that can offend the locals I'm not sure what they could use from a...

Well... if it is anything like the Radiator Springs at DL they better find a way to keep the crowds of people that pay to ride it and don't get to happy, because I remember quite well the first years of the ride at DL... It was craptastic at best. some days the downtime was as great as the...

I didn't think to take a photo of him, I just told my daughter not to even bother looking at anything the guy had. If he was pulling that stuff on kids I wasn't going to support him or let my daughter support his BS in any way. But given the number of books he had filled with pins I have to...
