This was talked about quite a bit in the annual refurbishment thread. But it was chalked up to Disney being cheap/lesser quality work as seen all over property these days. I thinks that’s significantly more likely than them deciding to refresh half the mountain and leave the other half untouched...

Based on how they did a terrible job refreshing the outside based on photos on blogmickey and reports from the other site about the interior, I 100% think this is what’s happening. Letting it rot until they retheme it.

They haven’t sold Splash merchandise (with very limited exceptions) since they sold out of their initial inventory after re-opening. I’d be shocked if they had any new splash merchandise ever again.

That’s not what independent means. It means they don’t work for the Walt Disney Company. They already work somewhere else. Bob Chapek is not independent of the Walt Disney Company. Mary Barra is independent of the Walt Disney Company. No matter what Bob and other C suite Disney employees are...

Certainly a fair comment. But those aren’t the rules right now, so Disney has to pay market rates for executive compensation. Regardless of the pay of Chapek, even if you paid Chapek and the executives $0 for the last 2 years, the parks division lost $12 billion in profits and cash flow...

Their job is not to work for the Walt Disney Company. They are independent directors. Why are you trying to compare apples and oranges? Ill try to put this in layman’s terms. If you are looking for a job and Walmart says we are only willing to pay $10 an hour and Target is willing to pay $25...

I knew this post was coming. How far back do you want me to go? Year to date: DIS down 15%, S&P 500 down 10%, DOW down 8%. Disney is by far the worst performer. Going back one year: DIS down 22%, S&P up 12%, DOW down 3%. Disney is by far the worst performer Going back two years: DIS down 4%...

I’m not sure I 100% follow your first paragraph but I am interpreting it to mean that you think the compensation committee is making a ton of money and will receive massive pay raises if they bump Chapek’s pay. This is not true. Compensation Committees are required by the SEC to be composed of...

First of all, the Compensation Committee proposes the executives’ compensation packages and it is approved by shareholder vote. Chapek did not give himself a 100% raise. Second, the majority of that compensation is not in cash but in stock awards. Third, yes shareholders would be unhappy. If...

At the end of the day the executives are responsible to their shareholders. Their shareholders are mostly made up of working Americans’ 401k plans and public sector union pension funds. The stock is down 25% in the last year and 36% from its all time high during that period. Whether you want to...

They still have those there? They’ve been sold out for good in Florida for ages. Dang.

What artwork is Disneyland selling? I looked at Disney Springs in Florida and there is none there. The gift shops in Florida around the ride are empty of Splash merchandise as well. Splash Mountain merchandise was sold out but it’s not being replaced. They haven’t had merchandise there in 17...

I just replied to you on this. No they aren’t. Brer Bear snuck onto one design. That’s it. All Splash Mountain merchandise has been removed and is no longer being sold. One oversight design is an exception not a rule.

So since we didn’t hear anything about this during D23 I assume the ride isn’t going down in 2022. It’s been a while since it’s last refurb and it shows. We thinking they are just gonna run this into the ground until closing or will we ever see another winter refurb?

I activated my AP almost 3 months ago and never got any magnets. I had no idea that was a common problem.

They removed all the Splash Mountain merchandise from the stores. They removed all the Splash Mountain artwork from the art store in Disney Springs. They removed Splash Mountain from the create your own magicband designs. I think Brer Bear sneaking his way onto one magic band is the rare...

That’s because that’s exactly how she meant it. The comments on here are beyond insane. She made a lighthearted joke that almost all of us can relate to. People are acting like she killed their first born. Lighten up people. Yeesh.

So has anyone heard anything in rumors recently on this starting soon? I’ve ridden it over the last couple months and broken animatronics are not being fixed. Not sure if that’s just the state of WDW right now (I know this has been an issue in the past) or if they are planning on starting the...

So I didn’t pay for anything yesterday at Animal Kingdom and I have no regrets. I did pay for Genie+ today at MK and HS and also have no regrets. Mind you, I am paying for just myself and modified my spending habits a little bit to allocate money to Genie+ instead of dining but I think it saved...

I feel like they have to build something new at Animal Kingdom. They push so many guests through Everest I feel bad for anyone who bought an ILL for it having never been here before. The line is almost never more than a half hour. I feel like they are going to really struggle selling it. Might...
