News Disney plans to accelerate Parks investment to $60 billion over 10 years

Thank you….

…my young…apprentice

I notice you are severely lacking in the news of expanded MK and AK, time to find you that ostrich picture again

 

[Phicinfan]

What’s funny is at the end of the day…Peltz caused this.

We never get these fireworks without the pressure.

Peltz or Peltz and the legal stuff going bye bye....an interesting confluence is driving this now...

I never claim to be “in the know” on those matters

I just remind that those who claim to be are being fed by those who are speaking way above their pay grade (the money…period) on such things

The DAK things makes sense. It’s total rot and they are letting it collapse just like they did splash and to a lesser extent GMR prior…

It’s a reskin…so that’s not great…and they managed to tank an INDY film (put that one up on the mantle next to the last 3 Star Wars)…so not ideal

But I’ll take it. They need stuff. Badly. Yesterday

Keep going

 

[Phicinfan]

Honest to goodness, while I get the enthusiasm about what has been rumored and announced. Can we get some of the $17 B promised and get a new track for SM and a decent ride for Figment in Imagination please? I would be thrilled with that. Oh and new ride system for SSE please

It’s the optics that’s killing Bob. Wall Street made no bones about how they blamed him for Slaphead and his stunt departure and return

Every single opinion - pro or con - said “succession”

He’s on notice and his ego took a punch from clubber this time.

Dinosaur is the only reskin. Rest is new per reports now. But I get the lack of enthusiasm.

I am still not swallowing the expansion of MK in both Frontierland and now supposedly Adventureland. Just seems more than usual for Disney.

What's the unmet demand though?

They still sell relatively cheap annual passes to fill in the gaps.

To me, the day they can fill every park with guests paying full price is the day they need more capacity.

That makes no sense. Higher attractions per guests per hour would clearly be seen as a better value.

Figment is such low hanging fruit…it’s on the ground right now.

There are 4-5 spots dying for something that gives them immediate pub.

I count 1-3 in MK
2 obvious in Epcot
1+ in mgm
And dak is being taken care of with an expansion also needed

It’s not a lack of enthusiasm. It’s calling out the math

They’re taking out 3 things - even if they kinda suck…that need to have more capacity back. It does no good to shuffle a few people around and drop the wait for FOP down to 160 minutes

…gee…thanks

SM, Stitch and ???

2 obvious in Epcot

Test Track is already happening thanks to GM - SSE and something real in WoL?

1+ in mgm

Animation courtyard?

Yup

Hey @lentesta I think we have a new Disney buzz word. The next cruise ship will be the “Disney Turbocharge”

I’m already drinking straight gin on an empty stomach, @PizzaPlanet.

This is one of my biggest grips over this. They take YEARS to do this stuff and we end up with a NET LOSS of attractions!!!

Sometimes I do think this is their strategy to keep Genie+ and ILL in demand!

Hey…did this blind acorn find his squirrel today?

She’s saying it’s a better scenario for Disney to fill the parks with limited capacity

But the attendance drop is proof that won’t work. The customers are starting to reject wdw…all the management excuses are just excuses. It’s not covid time delay or any of the other nonsense. The customer is not getting the value…and their revenues and most importantly profits are in jeopardy

Get ‘er done. You’re up, Bob

The varying degrees of confidence on villains land on here makes for some fun drama haha.

Villains land seems like the phase 2 for northwestern expansion of MK and we know how well this company does at delivering on phase 2s.

Y'all understand all this hoopla is just to goose D23 ticket sales?

Not worth it. I will just watch one of the 236 vloggers that will cover it for free...

Is the joke that D23 tickets were already all sold out?

Bob is all about expanding capacity.....

That would be a hit…they need it at studios
