No. Iger is to blame. He underinvested in the domestic parks in 2000-2020, instead chasing more revenue per guest rather than more guests. The guests kept coming anyway and the parks are packed. MyMagic+, the multibillion investment he chose to make instead, a failure. And we, the park lovers...

I disagree. You are trying to connect two similar but very different models. TikTok and YouTube aren’t content creators. Their algorithms allow them to mine the millions of junk videos to find the viral ones. They spend nothing on content creation and have literally millions of videos made for...

And yet they keep producing flops. But at least they have the data to know it….

They had the best person for the job - he designed the masterpiece they are destroying now…. Those folks are being pushed out and few, if any, remain in the company.

I never in any way in my posts, expressed anger. You seem to be projecting. All I said was that I had zero desire to go the theaters to see The Marvels. Based on box office performance, I don't seem to be alone. Disney needs to figure out why its movies aren't connecting or drawing...

Perhaps, so rip the band-aide with this one (Marvels) that no one cares about anyway? I could see that. Fundamentally, I'm not sure it matters. There is just too much content out there and compelling content will draw people to theaters. I haven't seen Wish, even though I kinda want to. But...

Then I'll wait 9 months. I had no desire to go to a theater to see that movie - it simply isn't drawing to audiences. And I don't think I'm alone in this and the box office numbers seem to validate my thinking. Heck, besides the discussion here, I've truly forgotten that The Marvels is a...

Seriously? Disney didn’t overpay, just Murdoch overcharged…. Ok…. Comcast has been outmaneuvering Iger for years and Iger’s ego as dealmaker couldn’t walk away from the not so subtly laid trap.

I expect a new CEO to restore faith in the organization so that when they announce something, it’s meaningful and taken seriously. And then through consistent and concerted action, restore the organization to one that creates content and experiences that will drive profitability and growth.

Please see thread on lids/straws.

If that is because you personally prefer the hygiene of doing so, that's completely fine and your prerogative. But the idea that any customer forward establishment would require this is the problem. Disney is supposed to be better than this.

100%. It's so hard to watch current leadership. This area looks nice, and should be part of a Moana expansion at AKL (or in Adventureland) for kids to play in while waiting a rider swap or as a nice diversion. It is not something blog-worthy as a stand-alone item and certainly shouldn't be...

Minor correction, using the (false) premise as a pretense when the real motivation is $.

Exactly! This is a place that should give you cups with lids already on and straws simultaneously because their clientele is exactly the kind that could use such assistance. Good client service doesn't wait for you to ask for something so trivial hoping that you won't to save a nickel. Magic...

You, are the magic.

It's like the people running the place have never met their core audience - families/children. Kids are really great with open cups without lids....

Agree - Disney+ should have been Disney's answer to the decline of DVDs, not their answer to the streaming wars and decline of cable.

Yes. I would probably quit Disney+ at these inflated prices, but Verizon still pays my bill and then my 3 year D23 inaugural term can finally begin.

But they can’t. So who really calls the shots?

I think originally Desantis wanted the political fight and thought it played well for him, but that narrative is shifting. Now, he needs an off-ramp, whether he realizes or not. Perhaps a $17B victory for the State could help?
