Will he call off the lay-offs and hiring freeze and break up the task force? Will he roll back the price increases? Will maintenance be improved? It means nothing to anyone but investors.
(not got a shread of any informed information, purely speculating)
I'd imagine the lay-offs and hiring freeze will carry on. But I'd expect park services to improve, even if only slightly. Chapek was pretty ruthless with cuts to the parks, Iger for all his faults 'got' the international tourist - a segment most here seem to forget about. It's that segment that brings the most money into the parks, and its them who've had the biggest cuts - no DME, no Dining Plan (Yes you hate it - intl visitors dont), paying to park at hotels, idiotic park reservations, totally cruddy Genie+, etc.
Some of these were obviously in the pipeline pre-Chapek but its undenable that they've not left international visitors with a bad taste. Price increses whilst sucky can be accepted, but the insane levels of "Here, have some inconvenience" nonsense Chapek introduce for practically zero gain will hopefully go.
Iger spent years building up the ideal perks to keep people on-site. Chapek threw every single one of them away within a year. Right now its vastly cheaper and easier to stay off site, and spend less in the parks. If Iger can bring back MDE and the Dining Plan (with the free dining deals they did every year for UK/EU customers) it'll go a long way to fixing that side of things.
If nothing else, I hope he kills the pass reservations. I'm probaly being too hopeful for him to kill Genie+ and Lightning Lanes.
Wouldn't be at all surprised to see a 5th gate greenlit within the next 18 months now though as right now Disney's going to get a massive butt whooping when Epic opens.
