I first met Alicia 8-9 years ago when she was penning articles for others and she had a very clear vision of where she wanted to be in the future, she is achieving that goal and will go on to bigger things but her collaboration with bio goes way beyond the last years reporting, it's been more than 5 years

I thought you were reacting to the expansion plots for Epic being ready in five years. Had no clue you were referencing their relationship duration as that wasn't what I was actually commenting on. But yeah.

Bob you are so full of BS you need a good laxative.
Continuing with the parks, Iger said the company has "entered into a phase where we can start building." He continued, "We have 1000s of acres of lands to develop, we could actually build seven new full lands if we wanted to around the world, including the ability to increase the size of Disneyland in California, which everybody thinks is kind of landlocked by 50%."
Never going to happen. What happened to you were holding the line on price increases.

"You can look at every single location that we've got and there's land, opportunity, but most importantly, we have so much IP to mine that there's opportunity there to create experiences that we know people will love to have in our parks. So you look at our IP, you look at the land that we have, you look at the math, the demand that exists in the marketplace, and you look at the return on invested capital. It's a no-brainer to invest that way."

I guess this means another contract extension for Bob?

If they use 2024 and 2025 to revisit entertainment and get new shows, parades, characters, etc. up and running, that will give them plenty of time to have a new land opening for holidays 2026. I can't blame Disney for not wanting to invest the past couple years with the current interest rates on loans. They made a mistake not taking out a lot of money to build during Covid when rates were rock bottom. Universal didn't make that mistake and they're reaping rewards.

But they have to do something now, and to me, I'd rather them invest in something great for 2026 and give attention to entertainment (which is desperately needed) for 2025. It already seems they're taking steps in that direction bringing characters back to meet and greet status from distance encounters.
