If films and tv were doing fine, they wouldn’t be talking about big parks investments …let alone actually making big parks investments.

It’s pretty misdirection. But it’s not anything they actually have to stick to as the decade progresses.

We may be in a position in a few months where more Parks attractions are formally greenlit and in production than Marvel and Star Wars theatrical films.

And even Diagon is an easy skip at this point. The better attractions are in Hogsmeade, and the newest Harry Potter addition will be in EU, so if you are going to skip a park, USF becomes the obvious choice.

That works out just fine, as a third park is not charged at full value when your third day.

And Universal still makes money on those folk for the nights.

Kids are going to want Minions and Dreamworks.

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

We never get these fireworks without the pressure.

Now hopefully it’s enough to get them to stop making intentionally $h!tt¥ movies too…

My worry is now that Iger has won, he really does not need to do anything.

His win had proved approval for the status quo. Iger is great "As Is", Nothing needs to change.

Increase profits through cuts everywhere in everything (except China).

Again, I hope I am wrong.

Would it help to know that Imagineers took an international research trip?

No.
Trips are fun.
Before the big vote in made some investors think they are doing something. Just a publicity stunt.
Any actually research collected is fine even if they never intend to do anything.
Research trips are less expensive than actually doing anything and is a business expense and is written off.

The only thing that matters is the end date

Enough of these stupid convention shenanigans and webcasts and slow rolls

Get it done

I agree, but they’re clearly not waiting on D23 to start. If they’re starting permitting now. Construction and development timetables circle more around financial dates than convention dates.

We just like the convention dates because it sets stuff more in stone.

More comments from Iger at the media event:

"Iger said at the media event that Disney will be careful to spread its investment in its theme parks over the next 10 years. “We actually have a fairly good idea in the near-term of what’s being built, but we’re purposefully not going to allocate it all,” Iger said. “Because who knows? In five years we can end up with a giant hit movie — think ‘Frozen’ — that we may want to mine essentially as an attraction, or a hotel or restaurant in our parks. So you want to maintain some flexibility.”"

There’s no need to wait to put up construction walls and get excavators in there…plenty of “coming soon” time for the tight pants joker to do a speech

I’m going to give them the benefit of doubt for now. Seems for WDW they are going ahead with the AK and MK expansions and while I feel HS still needs a lot of work, I want Paris to get a big bulk of $$$
