I agree. Both are trying to remain upbeat with forced smiles during this turmoil but their sadness shows.

No, in large part because his MO was fixing everything that Eisner was perceived to have broken - rebuilding bridges with Pixar was a pretty promising step in the right direction in that regard.

Tommorow, Imagination! Get‘s the refurb we have all wanted. (Sarcasm)
Apparently he doesn't yet realize he doesn't have any. Maybe Willow will break it to him tonight over dinner.

Iger is smart. He knows what’s going on in China and Hong Kong spells bad news and the price hikes and Star Wars land attendance isn’t sustainable. He also wants to avoid Eisners fate.
So now he gets To quickly go out on top and can kick back and blame the new CEO for everything that’s going to go wrong in the next few years alongside shareholders and the board AND keep his comfy salary going on the side.

He looks like Hank trying really hard not to lose it as he explains that they're not rocks; they're minerals

Well, there it goes.
There’s no positive way to look at this.
I know everyone here has different opinions about modern Disney Parks, but we can all agree that it’s bad to have constant price increases (tickets, hotels, dining, merch, etc.) combined with budget cuts, maintenance cuts, and nonstop upcharges. Welcome to Chapek’s Disney Conglomerate.

True. The investors who questioned Eisner’s cost-cutting tactics and Disney’s lack of creativity don’t seem to care anymore. As long as Disney owns the majority of IPs, Wall Street keeps its mouth shut.

I cant help but think, sadly, that whoever it is will be recommended by Chapek and come from his team, so he can have a yes man in charge and henchman to do what he wants at the parks.
edit: in terms of a new parks and resorts chair....but I realize now thats not really what you referring to,,but still..
In my opinion, I don’t even think they had time to look for someone else. There is definitely something to this story that we don’t know about (yet).

That said, they keep asking when they’ll resume stock buybacks on the earnings calls.
