The 21st century SotS/Splash Mountain blunder is on Iger. That fire existed before he came in, but he made sure to pour lots of gasoline on it instead of water.

I still don't get why they need to change it. Your average park-goer probably doesn't even know about Song of the South because Disney's been burying it for the past 30 years. They're more likely to associate the Briers with SM than the movie they originally came from. This whole move just reeks of virtue signaling to me.
Very accurate comparison btw.

There's an entire thread dedicated to arguments as to why they should/shouldn't retheme it.

Oh you know…racism, cancel culture, social justice warriors, agendas…
just what you want for fun/unwind
This has been litigated before, but the Guardians retheme plussed up what was originally a panicked construction of a value- engineered version of the original Tower. There's no real tragedy unless you're a real Tower of Terror diehard based on the west coast. Now, if they did what they did in Anaheim to Orlando, that would have been pretty unforgivable.
Then you've never entered the defunct politics thread it seems.
Let's see, theme parks around the world closed, resorts near empty, cruise ships not running, Disney stores around the USA flat line and that's just for starters. It is not rocket science that difficult decisions had to made to furlough thousands of workers of all levels of the company including layoffs to weather the difficult last year / the covid storm. It is really easy to say hatchet man in these circumstances. If one thinks that the staff should not have been furloughed when many operations were closed/ not fully operating , that person is really in fanasyland.

and they were dictated what to do in most of those cases.
and the two “big” decisions that were made were wrong…
trusted Florida and laid off everyone.
I mean…nothing I type really should affect your trip. You might just want to mute me until the fog clears.
Everyone on earth had to deal with the same scenarios…

Thanks, I was really too lazy to find that thread and I thought this one was close enough
Relocating from expensive Orange County CA to Orange County FL with lower COL, no state income tax , is a no brainer financially but just get ready for the oppressive heat and humidity and hurricanes, etc .…I’d be interested to hear some honest opinions about the relocation?
