Games and other screen-based activities definitely have their place. IMHO, inside a Disney park is not one of those places. To improve guest immersion in a new Disney park, do away with any reason a guest might have to look at their phones. For that matter, CMs too.

I don't think Iger has any regrets. From what I've seen, Nintendo had a lot of control over the project. We know from Potter Disney doesn't really want to give that much control up. And he still doesn't take video games seriously.

I dunno. After he struck out on being a Cabinet secretary and buying into a major sports league’s ownership he was a big investor in clothes for digital avatars.

Almost guaranteed to be a test for more Disney characters with the digital Fortnite universe. I don't think many understand how big Disney is aiming for with this $1.5B investment. Going to change everything.

While I am against this in general James earl jones consented to this so I don’t see how this specific example is that bad.
