News Disney and Miral Announce New Seventh Theme Park Planned for Abu Dhabi

[Ghost93]

Well the backlash to this seems to be going just great for Disney.

They must have been offered so much money to do this.

Since Disney isn't paying for the new park, there really isn't THAT much of a risk.

Sure, there may be some bad PR, but not the kind that I think will lead to company boycotts.

The purpose of this is a contract extension…

And I’m more than willing to be proven wrong…gladly.

Now, the test will be if TWDC can effectively and efficiently split Imagineering's bandwidth between the new park and bringing to life the $60 billion dollar improvement plans...

They did say they will be hiring more Imagineers but obviously needs to be good people, get them up to speed, etc

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Theoretically, this should just print money for the company without taking away from other parks.

What if they just keep it and take your money for what they already gave you anyway?

You still buying that? Those details are really flowing, aren’t they?

Well they can’t seem to get much done without 5 years and $500 mil…so new faces might be a good thing, eh?

It will be interesting to see from which location the Imagineers will be allocated to this project. Don't want to move to Lake Nona ? We've got another location that the company requires your services at ;

If Lake Nona was still in the conversation, I'm sure people would rather move there... Unfortunately it doesn't appear to be the case, much to my chagrin.

Yes, ‘cause he’s gonna want to stick around to see it to its completion …at this rate, Walt won’t be the only CEO to die at the helm…

Walt didn’t have a vert climber

But he wasn’t a weasel that had to pay for friends either

Disney already did by making Snow White and Encanto. Not the first company and certainly not the last.

Hang on, what? Disney sold its soul to the devil by making Snow White and Encanto?

Asking in an earnest non judgmental way, were you already firmly an adult in the 80’s?

I can’t even see what you’re replying too…I just have to assume it was completely stupid

Coach potatoes vs workout fiend. Doesn’t take rocket science to figure out what’s better for life.

And Frank Wells was too... If he wasn't, he'd likely have been CEO instead of Bob.

I thought that too. Frank Wells also liked adventurous sport. When his copter he was in crashed him and his friends were heli-skiing . His good friend Clint Eastwood in his mid 90s and still going was in another helicopter who was the lucky one to survive.

So. When do the Disney employee protests start?
