Iger has run his course and it’s bad news he’s around another 3 years. The entire Board and everyone needs to go. No more excuses.

You just said it better than I did.
Again, because I've been to Sun Valley, and know it can get really douchey when the Californians and New Yorkers show up in mid summer. But in May, June or September, it's fantastic. But then, it's Idaho, so it's hard not to be fantastic during those months, and Idahoans are genuinely lovely people in a genuinely lovely place. But for this one today, Bob looked and sounded like an elitist dork.
A change needs to happen to the top 1% or 2% of Disney's leadership. They've become the kind of people that the upper-middle class folks waiting in Lightning Lane for 20 bucks per person wouldn't like. Not to mention the budget crowd abandoned in Standby.
It's not just Bob Iger now. It's a lot of the senior execs in Burbank. They aren't the kind of people who would be caught dead in their own parks or at their own movies. And even when they are in their element in Sun Valley wearing cashmere sweaters in July, they still aren't likable.
Something has to change. This is no longer working.

I know it's super cliché. But I really do wonder what Walt Disney would think about what his company has become if he were still alive.

Remember the assist Bob owes Comcast for participating in getting his job in the first place?
Maybe the Don will ask him “to do him a little favor…”??

"Hey Walt, we've got a great idea ... we're gonna price the middle class out of the parks and eliminate all of the dress and appearance guidelines for cast members! Also, we're going to design the entire park experience so guests spend the majority of their day staring at their phones while different guests who paid more walk past them in line. What do you think?"
They should be sentenced to 1 week at a WDW with mandatory supervised releases to the theme parks, all on their own dime.

If it wasn't for that damned universal contract, they could just turn Epcot into the MCU.

Now we're thinking like The Sweater. Might as well since the pricing problem is fixed.

Don’t discount the 5 star bougie quality of the all star resorts now lol
I can't imagine Iger munching on a undercooked reheated caveman turkey leg at MK Main Street.

I think that should be a requirement of management. Go to the parks for a week. Stay at one of their non-deluxe resorts. Make park reservations, dining reservations, and use G+ all day starting at 7am.
I’ve always said the ones making the decisions to do things this way never have to do them so they have no idea what the common park guest experiences.

Parks are for the unwashed masses…not the Beverly Hills lawn and tennis club…
But the current management hates the customer…whereas the prior at least saw the value in understanding and predicting them…
That’s all unnecessary in the blue ocean.
And That’s the problem.
Nobody noticed them building a timeshare on the crappy rundown end of caribbean and then asking $35,000 a contract for it?
How about “club 33s” in mothballed storage spaces all over the parks?
…the writing wasn’t on the wall, huh?

I’m sure the club 33 areas are nice but it was kinda comical how they went about that.
Where should we put this in MK?
Well we have a storage nook in Adventureland. Don’t worry, those rich suckers will pay for refurb of it all to make it usable

He’s probably just mad because of the TLM math

Is that the $700B it will make after it runs in Japan for 10 years?

Just wait until the Antarctica numbers come in. It’s make Japan numbers look like sushi

Notice how NO ONE in a nametag has said a word about the box office for months? A Disney hallmark has always been pumping the tires of films to draw attention to the entire house.
There must be a standing hush order?
Cultural zeitgeist doesn’t get the cash it used to - interest rates must be too high?
