Bob is hyping "the bundle" an awful lot considering how bad ESPN+ sucks.
I find ESPN+ pretty solid. If you’re a hockey or international soccer fan it’s a no brainer for the price point. They have added a lot of pretty valuable college rights to the package as well.Without really looking into it much, I thought ESPN+ is basically the out of market service now for NHL and MLS which has some value for people in specific situations. and has a decent bit of European soccer for those who watch that.
I know there's some lesser games in college football and hoops so I guess if you are a fan of a team featured there regularly maybe it has some value (but can't image that is a significant number)
What other significant programming is on there?
I'm not sure, but the glaring omission is live NFL games. Paramount Plus/Peacock, Amazon all carry live NFL games. Clearly, Disney has not opened their checkbooks although you can watch MNF on mobile devices with the NFL app. The product is a non-starter for me without the NFL.Without really looking into it much, I thought ESPN+ is basically the out of market service now for NHL and MLS which has some value for people in specific situations. and has a decent bit of European soccer for those who watch that.

Genie+ penetration is what's exceeding expectations, not Park Pass.Regarding park reservations, how much of it is getting people to pay for tickets sooner before travel days? People not wanting to be kicked out are now buying sooner which essentially gives Disney interest free loans. Is that what Bob means by "exceeding expectations"?

This is us. DH is a huge soccer fan so watches MLS and a bunch of European matches. And now that the Kraken exist and we live outside the local market. I'm not sure how much they would have to charge before DH wouldn't get value out of the bundle for the soccer. The MLS is actually "in market" courtesy of a VPN. Comcast and Altitude Sports (the CO sports channel owned by the owner of the NHL, NBA and MLS teams) have been in a spat for years now and so the games aren't shown locally. It's a big mess. But ESPN+ + VPN = necessity in Denver.Without really looking into it much, I thought ESPN+ is basically the out of market service now for NHL and MLS which has some value for people in specific situations. and has a decent bit of European soccer for those who watch that.
That was my takeaway.So, AFAICT, nothing newsworthy. No announcements of new content we didn't know about. No new policies.
Because some people are capable of looking ahead and realize those results are not likely to continue.That was my takeaway.
Must say that I don't quite get people taking such delight in the stock going down after they just announced pretty strong financial results, decent results for D+, and excellent results for the domestic parks. That sort of feedback from investors is not exactly propitious for the company pulling back on nickel and diming customers at the parks or prioritising them for investment relative to other divisions. It shows the parks can make money hand over fist and Wall Street more or less shrugs. It also shows a company can't just be wildly profitable anymore.
