Judging by his utter hatred for the parks (other than a source of income for TWDC), I doubt he’ll ever set foot on parks property again…at least without armed security + the fact he won’t be able to parade around with his name tag…
I think Bob C. is a much bigger parks fan than Bob I., in terms of actually an enjoying an attraction here and there as a guest.

True. But I was thinking more about a potential multi-day type of experience that encompassed more than a virtual type theme park.

With things like this there is as much that is reliant on timing and execution as there is on concept.
This is why I would have liked to have seen Disney Parks and Resorts revive Walt's old idea of a ski resort somewhere. Or at least I would have, before the Imagineering dept. was gutted. Something like Mont Tremblant resort, which looks exactly like something Joe Rohde would have designed.

Disney seems unable to think outside a warm weather box, however.

I can't speak for Winslet as I don't recall ever actually seen her in anything. DiCaprio's acting in his youth however was quite poor. That said, he definitely got WAY better. I found his performance in the Aviator to be really good, and then Inception as well. Shutter Island is the best i've seen from him.
DiCaprio was nominated for an Academy Award three years before Titanic

You can’t decide to leave out the heaters to add them later like you can with shade.

And CMs (I don't want to sound like a right wing crackpot) are showing their uniqueness in ways I find distracting and distressing (and off-stage and in real life I'd be completely supporting them ... but, no, I don't want to see dudes with black nail polish and nose rings on MSUSA). The Disney Look was once considered a great thing and a model for other corporations.


I felt bad for Chapek when people got on his case for saying that adults want to watch grown up shows after the kids went to bed. Every other streamer is expected to have content for kids and adults. Chapek had this huge money pit of a streaming service that needed more subscribers and he was stuck with kids to "all ages" franchise stuff or he risked the brand. Iger is more smooth but he has the same fundamental problem.

For some audiences that may mean no hints of anything controversial to a genuinely socially conservative mind (no homosexuality, no interracial relationships) but in general it means no sex, no violence.
I think you are partly right. I think it is not so much about none of something, more about not constantly having it thrown in your and your kids faces. I have no problem with what other people do, and would protect their right to do it. I do not want anyone banging on my door all day to preach religion at me either. Does not mean I am not religious.

At least in Florida he seems very popular with the cast members.
The cast members know nothing. I had some detailed conversations during the pandemic to feel them out

First, they seem to not grasp the P&R head is beholden 100% to the ceo…in this case that was chapek. It’s their largest revenue source. They’re not “half in”

Second, they see a guy posting selfies on Instagram and Facebook with the serfs and think that matters at all…which it never will.

The deal is/was they hated chapek and needed a saviour so they picked tight pants. It there’s no divergence. Never was
