News Bob Iger Steps Down - Bob Chapek CEO

[SuddenStorm]

Disneyland has a lot of dark times. Before the Iger dark times, there was Pressler/Harris dark times from 1997-2004. Disneyland only had two years of sunshine.

Ha!

2005-2015 was pretty good. Disneyland proper was left mostly unchanged, and for the most part improved. DCA got a ton of investment that helped make it a decent half day park. I lament the loss of the original Star Tours during this time, as well as the original snowman in the Matterhorn, but otherwise things were pretty good.

2016 on are huge mixed bag, with mostly misses. In my opinion.

Not saying all of Iger was dark times, but the amount of news organizations and fans talking about how Iger was disgusted with Chapek's price increases for tickets and foods was just plain hilarious.

The 50th was a really great time for Disney! That's when I was a teenager and went from being a visitor to being a fan.

One aspect Apple has got down to a science is making their products at a breakneck pace with low labor costs. In the early 1990s there was a business article on the Death of Apple who is worth currently $1T.

Apple was dead…gates outmaneuvered jobs in the market cause he knew his ego made him vulnerable.

But the software yielded the market to the “machine”

And griping aside - apple has always pulled off more reliable machines that are more than the sum of their parts

That was one of the first to use a built in CD-R. I believe it also used a variation of the ZIP disc. 100mb was huge! It would take forever to fill up something like that.
