The que is better than the ride honestly. At least with mermaid the ride isn’t absolutely crap even though the que there also blows you away.

The worst thing about being a DVC owner is DVC owners.

Maybe most of them….some of them were in crap malls. But really could get away with a big banger store in big city’s only in high end only retail locations.

Here's a NYT article:
"Investors now want to see old-fashioned profit in streaming."
"He [Iger] cannot simply continue on the path he laid out before he left, as the landscape has changed materially,” Richard Greenfield, a founder of the LightShed Partners research firm, wrote with two colleagues in a client note on Tuesday.
"... the problems can’t all be laid at Mr. Chapek’s feet."

It's hysterical to me. Chapek got canned for implementing Iger's streaming strategy. So they brought in Iger to fix it.

"Old-fashioned profit". How quaint. It's like the investors want Disney to make money or something.
My only comments on the Star Wars bruhaha - Kathleen Kennedy created the "Lucasfilm Story Group", hired Kiri Hart for it, and greenlit The Last Jedi. Those decisions alone should have resulted in her "spending more time with her family" years ago.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss, who was the same as the old boss, who is now the new boss. It enough to make your head hurt.

Wait, why don't we like the Lucasfilm Story Group? I thought the Lucasfilm Story Group was just Pablo Hidalgo and Leland Chee slapping novelists on the wrist when they try to do something that goes against established canon.

“Making money?” What a concept! Hey, wait, that’s what Bobby C. Wanted to do…… Nevermind.

Iger did not have a reputation of micromanaging segment heads like Chapek, though any major project or change would have needed his sign off. Chapek was different as CEO because the pandemic provided the chances to make much larger changes and the company could use the parks to create new revenue streams as other divisions struggled.
It's really Wall Street's streaming strategy. Every investor rewarded big bets on streaming in 2018 and 2019, no matter the initial losses.

It’s more the valuation to me. Every company spends money on things that don’t generate revenue instantly. Apple with R&D for example or a more precise example would be biotech. Years and years without a single penny draining investor capital while they navigate the web of government regulation and trials.
The issue is disney WANTS to be valued at a multiple like apple or any other big tech. When in reality they should be valued just like Comcast (multiplier ratio not dollar value)

Historically, most movies in a series see diminishing returns in B.O. There are definitely exceptions to this, but it's mostly what happens.

There's a town hall meeting for all employees at noon ET. Odds that anything newsworthy is announced are about 1,000-to-1.
