I think. I guess. I hope?

Disney stock certainly didn't get a bounce from the Burbank coup and return of Bob Iger. And it's still headed downward a month later...

From $158 a year ago, down to $97 when the Burbank coup happened on Nov. 20th, and then sliding another 10 bucks to $87 at today's bell.

When does Disney's recovery start? After all those critical people in Burbank cubicles return from their two week Christmas break?

Looks like the perfect time to buy more Disney shares!

This should have been the big giveaway that it's fake:

From an email Bob Iger sent to D23 members -

“As we approach the end of 2022, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to the biggest Disney fans in the world – all of you.

Disney is fortunate to have the most devoted and enthusiastic fans, and I was reminded of this a few weeks ago when I visited Disneyland Resort and attended the Candlelight Processional. It was invigorating to be surrounded by so many guests who make what we do possible. We love your passion for our company and your enthusiasm for what we create, and we will continue to do our best to exceed your highest expectations.

As you know, next year Disney will mark its 100th anniversary. We are immeasurably grateful to the generations of fans all around the globe who have invited our stories and characters into their lives, and we look forward to celebrating the groundbreaking moments, the cherished memories, and the creative visionaries that made Disney the most beloved name in entertainment over the past century.

During the coming year, D23 will launch a slate of exciting events to mark this historic milestone. More information can be found here.

Looking at all the opportunities ahead, I can honestly say there has never been a better time to be a Disney fan. It is an extraordinary privilege to lead this remarkable company again, and I am so grateful for your continued passion for Disney. On behalf of all of us at The Walt Disney Company, I wish you a wonderful holiday season and a very happy and prosperous New Year.”

But the demand you are talking about are add-ons. People feeling forced to buy Genie does not mean the parks need attendance to drop. Further, this started with Iger stating this is the best time to be a Disney fan because of investments, many of which are designed to make things feel more crowded. Your response is to raise prices to make everything ultra-exclusive. Is that really making things better for Disney fans?
Raising prices to that level would collapse the parks.

It’s a model…and it was done deliberately over time. It’s not a “switch” you can flip

Our resident upside down economist will get out his class notes and try to make it sound all “enlightened”…but I would be content to watch it actually play with an “I told you sou” on deck

Crowding is something that can be controlled and shaped. Disney wants it to feel crowded because it changes expectations. They’ve got people paying to make crowding worse.
Net growth of operational capacity across attractions, dining, and shopping at MK has barely moved in the last 30 years while average daily attendance has increased. Of course it feels crowded.

I say this a lot, but it remains a shocking truth. Magic Kingdom today has less dining capacity than it did 30 years ago. Less! And it’s something that generates revenue!

I feel like no matter how many times this fundamental truth is stated…you’ll still get a steady stream of:

“Maybe they can tier the prebooked fast passes and dump the genie?…Value 2, moderate 3, deluxe 5???” Posted in la la land responses

It’s a MATH problem!!! You can’t give out cookies when you have less than the party goers want to eat
