D23 Parks and Resort Panel 2019

THE 1HAPPY HAUNT

Well-Known Member
No...as the disappointment/angst was raging on the D23 thread as the parks presentation ended...all of a sudden I got barred from that thread...before I commented 😉

Can’t say I blame him/her that did it...I get people riled up. But it was a hate fest by most everyone who was posting...one fool just lost it and lashed out because it apparently triggered her “thou must not speak ill of bob chapek” principles...I guess.

I got a story like that from another place...for a rainy day (2 actually 😉)
I don't get what you mean by barred?

Investment is investment....
In this unique case, the investment is fundamentally changing the product and the entire identity of a company that grew a huge fanbase over several generations based on a specific style of entertainment. Disney isn’t Amazon... well, ok, NOW it is...

What happening now is if you accept this...you’re too old and your money (we have near all of it) doesn’t matter...

If you don’t accept it...you feed the stock crazy, haphazard beast Iger is running.

It’s the Dutch door of “modern thinking”

That's happened to me a couple of times. Not sure what triggers it and it's not every post. So there must be an auto moderation on certain terms.

Glad I kept my brunch plans for today. Just got home and it only took me 10 minutes to get caught up, and it appears I didn't miss much.

Most Flattering Thing I Can Say About 2019 Parks Panel:
Mr. Chapek actually pulls off the jeans-n-blazer look pretty well. His jeans are contemporary 'Cool Dad' yet not hipster skinny, and the look suits his frame. It even makes his drab corporate personality a little more palatable. Whoever styled Mr. Chapek for D23 did a great job! So at least there's that. Also, no Tomorrowland announcement is a good thing since it would have come from Bob Chapek.

Most Unflattering Thing I Can Say About 2019 Parks Panel:
This is now a company that doesn't get it. They brought the Target CEO up on stage at the Parks Panel, like the Target CEO is the equivalent of talented senior Imagineers? That's not just a warning flag to Disney theme park fans, that's a flag of surrender. The rest was just a mish-mash of queue artwork and confirmation of rumors we already knew about (Magic Happens, Epcot, etc.). And poor EPCOT, that is just a thematic mess that I don't get.

Thankfully, brunch was nice. Without a single Instagrammable Moment. :cool:
You and your brunch!

Thank you for posting this. I just had to double check that the Target dude announced that they would be opening a store "right here at Walt Disney World Resort." 🤣

He did? That's wonderful.

Poor guy, he was probably overwhelmed. He's at the largest convention center on the West Coast, in front of thousands of lunatic fans, with singers and dancers and Chewbacca. I can't imagine the Big Box Store Industry has a similar fan convention where he would get practice at this.

You’ve never been to Wal-O-Con??
They really party at the rodeway inn outside Little Rock
Are people really excited about a Target in WDW?
No...absolutely no one is.

I can’t see Disney’s angle either UNLESS It’s in the useless “flamingo crossing”...where the CPs hopefully use it for pharmacy isle 12...

Does Disney really want people buying cases of zephyllis springs and taking a Lyft down Buena vista boulevard back to beach club with it??
