Whether the Chapek thing was true or not, the way Disney’s PR responded was shocking. Seems very off-brand for them to even comment on something like this.

Zenia is no longer in charge and it shows
Well... remember this?
"A little birdie told us there are some rumors flying around about our beloved Tiki birds at Walt Disney World Resort. We’re sorry that our fans are being fed incorrect information by unscrupulous sources. While “toucan” play at that game, we deal in facts here at the Disney Parks Blog. Although we won’t address every rumor, we want to set the record straight: there are no plans for our feathered friends to fly the coop any time soon"

Right in line with the response to SJ black widow lawsuit id say.

You're forgetting the part where he's introduced and walks across the stage. Not even a swell of orchestral backing music could hide the boos.
Perhaps wanting to avoid the Q&A by the loyal shareholders in attendance.
She would've said the same. Maybe worse

I don’t think so. I don’t know anyone personally, but as just a person looking from the outside, there’s been a distinctive change in PR since Chapek has been around. I know Zenia has her detractors here but it always seemed to me that Disney did a great job of “controlling the narrative” under her guidance while still maintaining a positive and respectful treatment of their fan base.

She was also very good at making sure none of the poop flung by the fanbase actually stuck to Iger.

Iger's inner circle is leaving at the end of 2021. Loyal to him were Zenia the top communications chief and Braveman , the top legal guy. All including Iger are leaving at the end of the year.

So they responded to a rumor about why the CEO won't be at D23 but haven't said anything to try to clean up the bad press from the CFO's comments about cutting portion sizes being "good for some guests' waistlines?"
Of course not they want to spread some Pixie Dust to make it all go away.............. Until they tell us all the new things we are getting, which never seem to arrive as promised or on the time they project..............
This thread shows what an isolated bubble this forum lives in.
The general public knows nothing of an off-putting attempt at a joke by the CFO at a quarterly call.
D23 isn't a quarterly or stockholder meeting with questions being asked (wait until the beginning of 2022 for that).
If you think that people who are paying big bucks to hobnob with Disney bigwigs at D23 are upset about the $15 Genie+ fee, then you don't know this crowd.

That’s all good and well but who am I supposed to throw these 75 soggy Mickey waffles at? What a waste.

Throw them at Josh. She'll throw herself in the way and take the hit for him.

Do you think they noticed the lack of parking lot trams? The declining service? The increasing crowds and lengthening lines? The sluggish return of entertainment? You really think G+ doesn't rub some the wrong way?
For some reason, Chapek is dodging one of his company's biggest public events. The PR spin is nonsense on its face.

Hey, do you think Disney will announce its big investment into the super savory and family-friendly world of sports gambling at D23?
Bet the whole vacation fund on The Mighty Ducks! And when you lose, a couple of large men in officially licensed mouse ears will beat you senseless behind the dumpster unless you pay up!
