That’s the Beauty of “blue sky”, isn’t it?
Question: how many times (ballpark) has WDI worked frantically on concepts and then they hit the skids? Hint: four figures
Actually the streaming/content problems are intensifying…
Correct…they should be doing more just to keep up with park stagnation. But current management has actually invited that.
Ok…but not a profit centered for TWDC. Controlled by the central party.
Current level seems high…but as you’ve pointed out: hardly anything is being done currently.
And that goes again past pattern? What can we glean?
Let’s meet at the Brazil pavilion and discuss it over lunch? Then we’ll head on over to the Play! pavilion and check that out…should be open any day now.
Whose word? That conflicts with what i've heard.
Neither of your hearsay can be proven, but his complete absence and public silence cuts against your version
I'm asking if THEIR heresay even has a source at all. Because I do have one. A real one. Unless EagleScout610 is referring to a different source, the "Tony angrily left the project" thing was a joke by Midwestern Elitist back in January. They were pretty clearly not being serious about having actual information, hence the followup post saying the source was a "bus driver". You and EagleScout610 were literally actively reading/posting in that thread when this happened as well...
Reading up on him and that statement really doesn’t look good in hindsight. But, he embodies the pixie dusting joie de vivre of so many on here, so maybe it’s a good fit after all.
That’s the problem with hearsay- it’s unverifiable.
Mission Cashgrab in DCA.
You are free to make whatever theories you want. If an actual established insider on this forum were to claim that Tony Baxter is not with the project anymore and angrily stormed out near the start, then by all means i'll hear it and defer to their knowledge (there's either scarce knowledge on the details behind this overhaul from the insiders here, or the ones that do know are keeping quiet about it). But until then, I myself have heard otherwise.
That may be true but it’s a whole new world right now and changes need to be made.
When did you become an insider ???
The "fat" that Disney has is hopefully most of the Fox stuff they bought, their Hulu stake, and a few other things I can’t think of.
I liked it when the walls back in the day were more decorated with items, now cutbacks walls are just walls.
How so? Doesn't seem that farfetched?
So I should go along with the “I know a guy and I’m hearing a thing….”?
Because of Disney stock state/outlook.
Iger is 72 , almost worth $1B, get out and enjoy what's left in life . He's a workout health freak working out with his personal trainer in his home gym prior to going to the office, like Staggs so that should extend his life also.So I should go along with the “I know a guy and I’m hearing a thing….”?
You do know that’s second to bus rumors in the history of Disney fan sites, correct?
I never exchange the “thinking” cap for whatever that is…nor should you.
To step back, here’s just my opinion:
1. The current climate for Disney based on financials does Not indicate large spends in parks. Definitely not Orlando. But that’s a long and twisted take.
But to he fair of where these rumors come from, I’d acknowledge two things.
2. Bob Iger is in Trouble - as is the board - and they need some good juju/PR.
3. Comcast’s construction is a legitimate threat. Really for the first time.
We’ll discuss “insider” another day. It will be a in a quiet, “safe zone”
I don’t disagree at all…makes perfect sense.
He isn't an insider, he is a realist. He has the simple faith that until you see shovels and walls going vertical any rumor is just puff pastry. A whole lot of bread full of hot air.
