Bob Iger at WDW now ... BoD to Follow?

[polynesiangirl]

Time to bust this sucker out again. Once again, thanks @CaptainAmerica

Who brought the champagne?

I don't know how I've missed this gif before, but it is amazing. LOL

Your word things very strangely.

I'm a writer. That's what I do.

 

[Progress.City]

I would settle for a leak from some third party shady character.

I want to hear it from the horse's mouth or it's just various degrees of horse say to me.

Some people enjoy splitting hairs to the smallest degree…

Students at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania worked out how much it would cost to build the Death Star and came up with a figure of $8,100,000,000,000,000 (that reads $8.1 quadrillion!), which is 13,000 times the world's GDP.

So... just how much did the BoD open their pocketbooks? Also, I need to be careful what I wish for.

This kind of stuff is what math was invented for

Looks like some good did come out of the meeting at Walt Disney World. Disneyland will spend one billion dollars on new projects if the city of anaheim doesnt put a gate tax on admission.

Disneyland just continues to get the love. Hopefully the ball has started rolling for WDW with this DHS thing like it did for DL during its 50th.

Aye!

 

[Progress.City]

I'm pretty sure they will hold a special press event to announce everything. Usually, they send out invites to the press a couple of weeks before the event. That's what we should be looking for - a press invitation. Is WDWmagic.com on WDW's press mailing list?

Perhaps they asked for the "Walmart" version?
Not the supersized?

 

[polynesiangirl]

I got to the current end of the thread, sort of! Whew!

This is all really interesting! I feel like I should not raise my expectations even a little tiny bit...but I have to admit this is encouraging. Maybe they're not just going to close the gates and let DHS return to the earth, River-Country-style, after all. A girl can dream!

Why would they be upset? Toontown is awful.

For me it's not so much Toontown disappearing but the logic behind putting a very popular IP in an area that has to close early for fireworks. Putting Star Wars or Avengers in the current Toontown location, along with projection technology, patents for drone screens, etc makes me worry about the long term plans for fireworks at DL.

What is that supposed to mean????

It means you like splitting hairs.

Is there any reason why Toontown makes more sense than Big Thunder Ranch area? Big Thunder Ranch is a complete and utter waste of space IMO.

You've reached...

The End of the Thread*

*Of this particular moment in time.

Not yet Peter, not yet.

Also, did you see DLP announced a major redo plan a few days ago? They are getting Star Tours 2, the new Big Thunder ending that DL got, and new effects for Pirates of the Carribean and Peter Pan's Flight.

It was announced last month.

Buybacks are not 'organic growth' - and you don't want the company growing in an unsustainable manner or overextending itself. You don't want "well we had a great quarter, so lets jump into some new random market!"

I didn't say buybacks, but I can see why you thought I meant that. Homemade dividends I simply selling shares. I want the company putting money into their business not buybacks. Also note to the wise don't sell your shares in a buyback... At the very least wait until after.

Dear god, I wouldn't sell until after Star Wars is released.... its at $114 in after-hours trading as it is. Gotta think that's going to keep going up and hit 120-125 by Christmas. But hey, I only have one share.

 

[JordanNite]

So where's this announcement then>?

So where's this announcement then>?

Iger personally said he wasn't going to announce anything until all the New Kids were either in jail or incoherent. So, really, any day now.

 

[Disneyhead'71]

Could it be, Disney would build an Avengers attraction at DCA, at the same time Universal builds one at IOA?

How confusing would the national advertising be?

I'm pretty sure I believe my friends (some of whom are under NDA and cant tell me anything) over some boyband has-been wannabe.

Either that or he's talking about Jay Rasulo's exit which should have been discussed at the board meeting. I feel bad for the guy, Played the political game and was forced out. Didnt like his lack of ideas but hate to see anyone fall victim to the ruthlessness of internal politics.
