I’m celebrating because the parks were amazing in 2020 when Chapek took over.
Everyone implies Iger is behind all the recent unpopular changes from behind the scenes (G+, reservations, AP changes, magical express death, etc) but he was CEO for nearly 20 years, if he really is responsible for all these changes he played the worlds longest long game… 20 years of minor changes only to implement a bunch of monumental changes all within a year of stepping down? Seems unlikely to me, so I put that blame on Chapek.
Iger was far from perfect, most of Igers park successes stopped when Staggs left (coincidentally also when Chapek took over the parks
![Winking face :wink: 😉](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/7.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png)
) but Iger never burnt the parks to the ground for a penny like Chapek did.
In short… Iger isn’t perfect but he worries about guest satisfaction, Chapek was purely a numbers guy and the guests didn’t seem to matter to him at all.
