News Disney Parks Chief Josh D'Amaro Says Pricing Model Aims to Keep Vacations Affordable for Families

[donaldtoo]

Just watched that movie about a week and a half ago.

Haven’t watched it in quite some time, but I’ve seen all 3 movies a few times, just never at the theater. Seriously silly-fun…!!!

Thursday night at PI back in the day basically had all of that in any of the clubs thanks to all us drunk CPs getting in for free. Good times!

Josh would not approve, most of us didn’t spend a dollar. CPs are only good for working late hours and getting that overpriced rent pulled out of their paychecks leaving them with about $10 for Ramen dinners.

You must have had good times at Vista Way or what some CPs described it as “ Vista Lay “.

So It's the afternoon of June 2, 2025, Josh just rolled in from a whole weekend of doing rich guy things and now has to make some obligatory thoughts about the poors and them not being able to blah blah blah afford things.

Today's thought was about why the adults only Space Ship Earth Lounge doesn't have stripper poles, you know like every normal adults only lounge has. Just think of all the dollar bills guests are saving as a result.

Next update tomorrow!!

Will the dancers be Disney character themed? I have a $20 bill saved for Tinkerbelle just in case.....

You would provably have better luck with the “Vegas $20 sandwich “. It’s a $20 bill in between your ID and credit card when you hand it to the front desk CM upon checking in. It’s a you take care of me I take care of you to get a room upgrade.

They will only accept Disney Dollars.

Maybe he will do a 180 when he gets the power.

Whoever is next will not hold the position for long, 3 -5 years max

Ugh, just what we need... a few more years of Puppetmaster Bob Iger pulling the strings from the shadows. Fool me once!

None of this would be happening unless with the full support of the Board who were all recently reelected. Last time I checked Iger did not reelect them all. Nothing but crickets on the Board retaining their positions.

Personally, if you believe that the Parks need investment and that the Parks should be considered the most important or one of the most important things at the company then Josh is the best pick.

He has the mistakes of Chapek's reign as a Parks person from 2015 on and how much he's had to fix them.

Josh for a brief time was VP of AK. Apparently the Yeti could not get fixed while he ran the park.

He was Chapek’s lieutenant.

What mistakes has he fixed?

I would imagine the average Disney stock owner in the long run has no say in who is elected when there are major corporations like Vanguard and individuals who have millions of stock-- they control who is elected

He was Chapek’s lieutenant.

What mistakes has he fixed?

Wearing tighter-fitting pants. Smiling with CM's around cameras. Thinking about affordability daily.

 

[JD80]

What mistakes has he fixed?

Lack of investment in the parks. You think Iger is championing the $60B investment?
