I think the cdc lost that battle and Dec is before any potential administration changes. Theres a couple of discounted cruises late January early February that I have my eye on, but I’m not sure how the capacity limits are going to affect bookings.
Outside of Disney fan sites I’m not sure that many people care.
I think people understand this is a crisis situation. However, when people return to more normal travel patterns and are greeted with negative signs of Disney's new leaner operations. Things like long waits to enter a park, for rides, to order food, messy bathrooms and trash, fewer food & entertainment options, etc. that's when the pushback will happen. Customers are going to expect to be wooed by companies competing for their patronage, that's why people are looking for discounts already. If the basics are a serious of frustrations, I don't know how it's going to play.
Unfortunately this is happening in companies across the world - and it will continue to happen for some time. Its very sad that people at disney are losing thier jobs, but this is not unique to Disney, florida or california. Retailers, hotels, aviation jobs - disney have sadly lost a huge number- i can't help it was in some way political - its interesting California are now moving ahead with reopening plans. I cant help but think Disney did *some* of this to put pressure on.
One revolt that came to mind was the ouster of Eisner as CEO. It worked and Iger became in charge. Both are doing fine financially. Eisner joined the billionaire boys club and Iger is not far behind.
The world was far more motivated then. Now, most people talk about it on the internet without implementing a thing.
I feel very much the same way. We all hope that travel bounces back in a few years and things go back to normal, but who the hell knows what kind of economy or world we will be living in once this pandemic is over. This crisis feels different to the others we have lived through over the past few decades, in part as it has collided with broader divisions over the results of the dominant economic (and perhaps political) model. This could end up in a more prosperous society, or it could go very much the other way.
I disagree with how Disney is now. Yes they put in some great new attractions. When I walk into a Disney park now I think of Six Flags. What I mean by that is the constant bombardment of IP everywhere which I equate to the constant bombardment of Ads at Six Flags. Adding all the IP into World Showcase and shoehorning in IP into places has turned me off Disney.
Shame he chose to copy Walt on that habit.
Up until Pixar Pier and Toy Story Land I would disagree with you, but those 2 are certainly at six flags level.
I wasn’t disagreeing with his opinion of Disney, and I won’t disagree with yours either—it’s a matter of personal preference, after all. My only point was that those of us who continue to enjoy the experience aren’t simply falling for Disney’s messaging. In my case at least, it’s a genuine love affair. (I’m referring to pre-COVID times; I have no desire to return before things start getting back to normal.)
Looks like entire departments are being eliminated.
That’s creative content??
Yep. Some CMs were relocated but the majority and the department is gone.
My decoder ring is busted, which one?
