I’m gonna level with you all. I went out on a bad note. I thought Chapek had his business strategy locked in. Was gonna railroad a lot of divisions and do unpopular stuff. Turns out Bob Iger outsmarted him on the board and get sacked before the real damage was done. I can tell you guys that...

When this amount of money changes hands, who cares about the reason why? https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/disney-chairman-bob-iger-sells-013959070.html

Been wondering what would be worthwhile to post about as the "thing" I keep hearing about is not ready for public consumption. Having said that, here are some thoughts. Disney can brag about how much debt cash they raised but the FY21 budgets reflect realism. A lot of low level and mid sized...

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...

All sins forgiven brah. We're all good.

A bunch of people you like (or don't like!) just got fired. I'll let others fill in the sordid details of other ppl's affairs. I don't wanna name drop anyone.

http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Daily/Issues/2013/07/09/Research-and-Ratings/Q2-viewership.aspx "ESPN averaged 1.3 million viewers in primetime during Q2, down 32% from the same period last year and the lowest primetime audience for the net in at least seven years. The 32% drop was the...

Universal has bought up the property Wet N Wild sits on along with its parking lot and all neighboring property. The land is now 100% part of Universal Orlando resort. Suffice to say they plan on doing something with the land other than writing lease payments for the next 50 years...

I thought it would be fun to consolidate some of the rumors and speculation going on in other threads and also to bring a slightly more business focused narrative to the rumor outbreak regarding upcoming developments at DHS. I caution that a lot of what will be mentioned here is speculation...

Greetings everyone, For anyone who asks, yes, I still stand by my previous posts about Avatar not having a strong shot at becoming reality. But as long as Disney keeps perpetually pushing back the opening date (now 2017!), how will any of us ever get proved wrong? However, I'm here today to...

I'm just relaying that the rumormill will be churning about in the near future. That is all.

I figured I'd throw this out there for discussion since it seems pretty obvious Disney's "background checks" let this nutjob slip through the cracks. What's sad is that he was such a problem that he became known across several departments for his antics, both off stage and on stage...

Despite this being a mainly Disney board, I know there has been a lot of interest in what the Anheuser Busch sell off would mean for tourism and Disney Parks in general. Today we are finding out just how important this deal may be...

Not that anyone probably cares, but the Enchanted Oak Tavern is getting bulldozed to the ground as I type this. Carry on...

IOA Central has posted pictures of an unnamed flying coaster that is to be built at a certain theme park somewhere. This should be worth checking out: http://www.ioacentral.com/other_parks/seaworld_orlando/manta_concept_art/index.htm

It was just announced that Scott Trowbridge, former VP of Universal Creative (and probably more famous for his works, including IOA and the Harry Potter project) will be taking over WDI Research and Development, reporting to Bruce Vaughn. For all intents and purposes he can be considered just as...

Universal Studios Florida shattered its all time attendance record yesterday. Had over 55,000 guests in the park at once apparently. For those keeping score, only the Magic Kingdom and Epcot have ever posted numbers higher than that on the eastern seaboard. I guess their slump is over?

So I was at the right place at the right time and got to see a tech rehersal of Monsters Inc Laugh Floor today. What a total mess. There's hardly anything redeeming about this fiasco at all. This "living character" project seems like a grand idea when you are bringing life to characters guest...
