    Unsure who to vote for regarding the Walt Disney Co. Board

    184 was the peak. Pretty much half. trying to claim Chapek is responsible for this mess, while Iger refused to step away (or give up his shower) is a tap dance. The leadership was the same and you know it.

    Unsure who to vote for regarding the Walt Disney Co. Board

    The current leadership is squarely responsible for deflating TWDC stock by more than half its peak. Any mention that the current leadership is a better option and one should vote for the status quo, is a true head in the sand moment. Wow…just wow.

    News Chapek FIRED, Iger New CEO

    Yes. To a certain extent. However, during the recent decline, they ignored some of those fan-tested storylines, to adopt commercially failed storylines written under disney leadership - like Ms Marvel. That, combined with terrible execution since End Game, is what caused marvel's brand decline...

    News Chapek FIRED, Iger New CEO

    Wow. This is actually a brilliantly stated explanation of why Kennedy may still be there. I had been scratching my head at this for a while. Her track-record with Lucasfilm, following the Disney purchase has been abysmal. She's overseen the destruction of every major Lucasfilm franchise (and...

    News Chapek FIRED, Iger New CEO

    It probably cost alot more than $300M, once you consider reshoots (which rarely get included in the posted budget). They actually had to bring in John Williams to re-record score sections, the reshoots were that significant. Then you add in massive promotion - the real Disney cost of this...

    News Bob Iger is back! Chapek is out!!

    ...and Im saying a great deal of Chapek's bad, was really Iger's bad. So while I agree that anything over Chapek, the fact of the matter is that bringing Iger back is very much a doubling down on alot of the things that were ushered in on Chapek's watch. It's just going to be candy coated now.

    News Bob Iger is back! Chapek is out!!

    instant, massive upgrade? You do realize that the vast majority of Chapek's moves over the past 2 years were basically Iger initiatives that were ham-fistedly delivered by Chapek? The only difference between these two is in careful vs painful presentation of bad ideas. Nothing more. Iger...

    News Bob Iger is back! Chapek is out!!

    AFAIK, Disney was looking at rather broad layoffs in the immediate future. While Chapek is largely considered the reason for the company's dire situation (whether appropriately assigned blame or not), layoffs under his watch would not have gone over well. I think everyone in the boardroom knew...

    using Genie+ while traveling with multiple families (staying both on and off property)

I'll be traveling with my family, a second family who's staying on property at a Walt Disney World hotel and a third family who is staying off property (not at a WDW hotel)...

    Living with the baboons

    Thanks for being on the spot to raise your phone to record it. Much appreciated! Every time I witness something worthy of recording, like this...I stare like a moron....and then after its over, turn around to whoever is behind me and say "did you see that?" when I could have recorded it and...

    Calling the Resort Reservation Line

    I had to call WDW website technical support today to address an issue on MDE. It kept showing old reservations that were canceled over a month ago, and I wanted them to try to fix it as we're about 25 days from our trip. I had to navigate through several menus, giving the automated menu my...

    News Disney mask policy at Walt Disney World theme parks

    Actually, I didn't say it either....my original comment was severely misinterpreted (or purposefully mangled for false pretext). My original statement was that our immune systems were not being exercised....and the combatives you refer to, put words in my mouth and claimed that I stated our...

    News Disney mask policy at Walt Disney World theme parks

    This is going to be a thing for years to come. As a nation, we spent 18mo at home, masks on in public, washing our hands 3x more than normal, hand sanitizer, distancing. The end result is that our natural immune systems have not been exercised….anywhere close to what our immune systems had to...
