I thought maybe they were grooming D'Amaro for the face of the company but not after this year.
Credit to Iger. The timing of his abandonment, not just due to covid but from the culmination of problems he himself brought to the company, was perfect. It's easy to complain about his leadership but hard to deny the guy is savvy.

Rumors have been circulating recently about charging surge-demand prices for toilet Lightning Lane passes around World Showcase during festivals. No word yet if this one is circling the drain or if it could be flush with cash.
Small steps? You started with a Bob thread!
So why appoint him unless the plan was to peace out and return all along.

He saw the pandemic, didn’t want that mess to be his legacy, and dropped it like a hot potato. Now, perhaps he will be happy to pick up the mashed potatoes and host one final Thanksgiving dinner. I’m more curious of who he would give his recipes to after a short 2nd stint at the top. At best, I could see a 1-year transition where he takes his successor under his wing. Chapek wasn’t ready to fly.
Glad somebody can give it to him. I would if I could

We don’t need a nicer Chapek running things.
Tom Staggs and Kevin .... can’t remember and to lazy to google. He was ceo at TikTok For about a minute until he got afraid of Trump.
I could see it happening after his “It’s not just data” epiphany. Besides morale is at a new low and they are losing talent like Chapek loses hair.

It was a bit of a rushed through decision.
Its worth remembering the recently unveiled screw the guest for even more money system was instigated under Igers watch.
So what you're saying is... if someone were to push Chapek off of a tall building in Burbank, he wouldn't be able to fly back to the top of the building? Hypothetically.

That's a great point (bolded) that I haven't seen talked about much. Talk has typically centered on the parks, not the outflow of talent.
At what point will someone step in and say "ugh, maybe we need to change some things, since our best people are leaving us."

Less messy to give him a golden parachute. Who wants to clean up all that chappie on the sidewalk? Ewww.
But all that gold in a parachute, won't that just hasten the splatter? I guess it could create a crater so the splatter is more contained.
