The Steve Jobs estate/her is the single largest shareholder. Is Eisner still #2?

Foxxy Hooves is saying Echo Lake going bye bye. Two steps forward...

Anyone here willing to confirm or deny?

Jim Hill first mentioned that over the summer.

Just to clarify, she would be the largest individual shareholder. I believe there are other institutional shareholders who command more shares.

I do not know. @ParentsOf4 might.

I've heard so many things about Echo Lake, I'm kind of beyond caring anymore.

I just want my Roger Rabbit window fixed.

What would be the point of draining & filling in the lake and tearing down two CS eateries when there are other expansion pads with more room and easier access for construction?

I believe the thought was that the two restaurants would remain (or at least the kitchens would remain). The lake is in a prime location and the footprint of the park is relatively small. With the change in this park being both Star Wars and Pixar, it makes more sense to me to have Pixar at the back of the park, that's more likely to be expanded, IMO.

Well said.

Just because any/every one can Tweet an opinion or even post a blog doesn't mean that they should.

People have more information at their fingertips than at any other time in human history, yet so much of it is utterly worthless.

I do miss the early Internet days when very few people were able to express their opinions on much of anything, let alone spend 31 hours a day tweeting about EPCOT wall carpeting.

In my opinion it also hurts the integrity of a blog when they ask readers for money for a new computer or pimp their wife's jewelry business.

Took a quick look and Vanguard Group with 81M shares of DIS is the largest institutional owner so Mrs J is the largest holder it seems.

George Lucas was number 2 at the time of the Lucasfilm sale. I assume he still is.

So what, Gertie will be turned into that weird dinosaur thing Boba Fett was riding in the cartoon part of the Holiday Special?

I'm sure he feels the same way about USF.

The studios park is a laugh a minute unlike that Mickey Mouse operation up the road.

I can't think of a single project Disney has done in the last fifteen years where the final reality lived up to the concept art.

... which is even worse when you think about the considerable decline in the quality of the concept art over the last few years.

I have to respond, since this is the second time I've seen you make this reference. The problem I have with the above statement is its implication that Six Flags does not invest in its parks, which is far from true. Six Flags adds a significant number of rides to its properties every year or two. This year for instance will a large number of installations as well. However, as we all know, Six Flags isn't really into a themeing, which for Disney and Universal is the bulk of the cost for each attraction. And that's not to say that rides that Six Flags builds are of less quality or less safe. Six Flags is more about thrills (and these days, massive product placement in the parks). If the thrill factor is there, no one will care about the theme.

Never thought I'd see the day when someone compares Disney to Six Flags and fans of Six Flags feel offended.

Well thats because they're not theme park people. They just arent. Theyre business guys who wouldnt have the first clue of where you'd find the castle if you were on Main Street.

If theme parks are one of your core businesses then you can answer those softballs. He could on the networks side.

Re-direction, I hope people don’t pay that much attention to avatars. People might get the idea that you have a Sterling reputation.
