Dystopian is what it is. Probably not insignificant they went that route.

Speaking of, what are the odds Disney’s fully relying on AI to cut production costs before Iger leaves?

That’s what Wall Street wants (it’s the latest fad!) and one of the major things the insurgent campaigns were pushing.

So… the chances are slightly less than they were yesterday.

Already Twitter is full of conspiracy theories that the vote was rigged because they can't fathom why shareholders would vote for the status quo.

Here's the thing: shareholders don't like the status quo (given the current stock price drop), but they really don't like the "change" the opposition is proposing, so they stick with the status quo reluctantly.

Sound familiar?

About the least surprising thing to happen today.

There are a whole lot of people out there who have trouble understanding that their world view that they bounce around a self-selected group of friends that think similarly is not the actual way things are. Other people cheating is about the only way they can comprehend being in the minority opinion on a matter.

Too bad, sugar puff. We could have been something.

I understand that commemorative celebratory Proxy War Victory Cupcakes are appearing at all Disney Parks for a limited time starting tomorrow to celebrate Bob's triumph over the legion of doom.

The cupcakes are reported to cost $29.95 each plus tax each. Virtual queues open at 2AM.

"We've been aware of Universal's plans for a new park for more than a decade. And we have a sophisticated approach to analyzing the needs of all of our businesses and strategically deploying capital...."
MY POCKET!-Bob Iger

Isn't it kind of sad that they admit that their strategic approach is delaying launches of new things.

It also can be read there with the truth that they will syphon money where it needs to come from. And we all know where that is.

The most famous shareholder attraction announcement was probably Expedition Everest in 2003.

Which for context, was an original in house theme park Intellectual Property, was the most expensive theme park attraction for its time. The last Disney show building for a single attraction of such a scale(mountains), the last in park intellectual property major attraction and only took three years to build.

It was also under Eisner's time two years before Iger would take the CEO seat.

So Iger won the proxy fight. I thought that meant that the majority of investors (the owners of the majority of the stock) AGREED with Iger.

If this is true, WHY did the stock plummet, at the moment it was announced he won the proxy fight??

Expedition Everest is one of the all time greats.

Anyone else feel Bob is kicking the can down the road knowing he won't be in charge in 2 years to fund any of this stuff?

Dino Land, Beyond Big Thunder, DL's Avatar Land. So tired of concepts with no dates attached to them.

He is kicking it down the road AND he will still be in charge behind the scenes.

THIS TIME he is going to pick someone he knows he can control as his replacement.

If things start to look worse for the company as a whole we can expect him to name a “replacement” and leave and then come back and blame his “replacement” for all that’s wrong. Wouldn’t be the first time now would it.
