I figured that the cuts won't get rolled back.

And there would still be cuts because Disney's problems are not because the parks are built in foreign lands.

I figured it wasn't so much about it being in a different country, I meant more that they already have land here so it would've been a little cheaper.

I know right! i was expecting maybe a whole star wars park + a star wars water park and resort. that would have been epic.

Cost of construction is not the issue, it is Disney's inability to deliver their projects within already overly inflated budgets.
Are you speaking from hear say and personal opinion or do you have proof?
15 million people a year tend to disagree with you.

Which is ENTIRELY Iger's fault because he created a management culture and system which ALLOWS this. DGM had a saying which is applicable here 'the fish rots from the head down'.

It is a problem that started before Iger.

Yes, Yes it did however he's had a decade to FIX it yet it only became worse during his tenure so he OWNS the problem now and it can be fairly stated that it's his fault because he has not fixed the issue.

Or more likely that was never the plan and was simply people on here misunderstanding.Just wanted to drop in and say that at about 9:30pm last night, MouseGear was still open past park closing. Evidently closing the largest gift shop with the park didn't work out all that well

How dare you use facts?!?!?!?!?!Yes it was! If you had any ability to read, you would see that the article Steve posted two weeks ago stated the shop would close at 9pm.

First of all there is no reason to be a jerk.
Second of all if YOU had any ability to read you would see that he said it would now be open 1 hour after park open open until park close instead of the current 8:45 to park close.

He never said anything was changing with the closing time. In fact he very clearly showed it being the same as always, park close.

Except his "facts" are not relevant since the article he mentions said the store would continue to close at park close. The stores being open later than park close is generally not advertised.

Please don't post such nonsense with no research to back yourself up. As already stated by several people on here - DLPR has only seen a financial drop of 1% in the last quarter due to being closed for 4 days after the terrorist attacks. For the first quarter of the year this has been offset by increased in guest spending, hotel occupancy and park visitors. UK visitors have been up for the last 5 quarters if you bothered to read any of the financial reports. Saying people from the UK aren't visiting because of refugee crisis in Europe is alarmist and not based on any fact - just your own wrong opinion. Disneyland Paris is still the most visited theme park in Europe and the investments currently happening are helping bring the resort up to proper standards.

Exactly. It never has closed at park closing. But that is how it's always been advertised. I'm sorry if you misunderstood the article but that is clearly what's happened here. Steve posted what the old hours were and what the new hours would be. The only change was in the opening time. The article didn't give the impression anything was changing with closing time, you just misunderstood it to mean that.

There is a simple answer if you are interested. The stores almost always stay or stayed open after the advertised closing time because there were people in the shops allegedly buying things. They cannot close the doors until everyone is out. It to me is the epitome of Guest entitlement to hang around for no real reason because the CM's have families too and their just standing around past closing, because they can, just to me means thoughtless people, but, that's another post for another time.
The point is that as far as when the close up... nothing has changed. When they open has!

Mouse Gear currently operates from 8:45am to park close, but from Sunday, the new hours will be 1 hour after park opening to park close.
Therefore on typical morning Extra Magic Hour days, Mouse Gear will open at 9am, and on regular days, it will open at 10am.
I just don't see how you can say that the above implied that. It clearly only shows a change to opening.

A huge waste of money for the stupid things they claimed to do (aka raise guest spending).
Yet, it was an still necessary expending to upgrade the backbone and network/communications infrastructure.
Iger just tried to sell it as the best thing since sliced bread.. far beyond what it really was.

No Iger tried to use the project as the so called 'Smart Grid' is designed, Ration access to the resource instead of building needed capacity by spending a relatively small amount on rationing devices (smart meters/mickey heads) The reusable RFID ticket media was and is a good idea.
