2013 Shareholders Meeting: Game Thread

[RSoxNo1]

A regular occurence on Sports Message boards are game threads where contributors follow along with the game providing their own commentary. I think something similar can work for a Disney Shareholder's meeting...

The meeting begins at 12 noon today and will have a live webcast here:

Hopefully we get some news today. Does Iger ever reveal new projects at these meetings?

Nothing specific, usually its just generic statements that don't leave a lot of room for interpretation. Regardless, I wouldn't expect too much about WDW, except their recent completion of New Fantasyland.

 

[bethymouse]

Darn. I was really hoping for some big announcement!

 

[MarkTwain]

So we're making games out of the shareholder meetings now?

Iger mentions Avatar without mentioning details - take a shot
Fantasyland Expansion touted as major success/example of spending in parks - take a shot
Disneyland and WDW combined into same attendance to make WDW's sound better - take a shot
Song of the South requested on DVD - finish drink
Shareholder mentions Imagination pavilion - take a shot
Shareholder says the word "Dreamfinder" - finish drink

I see news reports saying that it's not starting until 1 PM, but the site itself says noon, and the link will be active at 11:55. Unfortunately I won't be able to listen live.

Some idiot will talk for 15 minutes in the Q&A about how Horizons should be brought back.

Happens every year...

Time zones perhaps?

ETA: Nevermind. I looked at the investors page.

Eisner sort if "inadvertently" announced Everest at the meeting years ago. That's the only time I can really recall anything close to an announcement.

I just hope that someone brings up maintenance, or questions some of the direction of Next Gen. Those questions are harder to dodge then, "What's next?"

surely Nex Gen will be a big topic of discussion

Really? I always assumed the shareholder meeting would be boring. On a side note, if given the opportunity, that idiot would be me.

Or "How much awesomer will Disney be next year?"

I just updated the first post with the link to the live webcast:

For some reason I couldn't use CTRL+V to paste in an edited post, has anyone else had that problem?

Right, I'm just hoping that someone actually asks a tough question as opposed to "What can you tell us about next gen". Perhaps are you concerned to the end of spontaneity or the privacy concerns.
