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

How about they cancel both and don’t touch imagination?

What say you?

Stranger things have happened

 

[Agent H]

I think a sizable portion of the people here would forgive things like Villains and Monsters being cancelled if they got Imagination redone in return.

I still think if imagination was gonna happen it should have been confirmed in 2024. That would have made people forgive the Epcot disaster.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

I would happily trade Villains and Monsters (neither of which are very exciting to me) for fixing EPCOT.

That ship left the dock…unfortunately

Thats probably why they are doing that media event on DLP's 33rd anniversary to announce upcoming things for the resort.

With what's rumoured to be announced this week (1 flat ride), it wouldn't look good for DLP

Prince Alaweed Bin Tahal who is the biggest investor of DL Paris putting in his share ?

Where have you been? Kingdom Holdings sold their shares to The Walt Disney Company in 2017, and Disney has fully owned the resort since.

It was a not very well publicized bailout

Disney didn’t want to…but they had no realistic choices

Why does everyone have a weird obsession with igers shower?

Why does everyone have a weird obsession with igers shower?

I think the CEO shower thing is a nice perk. The exec that ran the company I was in back in the day had his own personal bathroom next to his office including a shower. At times he would have work on the West Coast for a few days then fly the red eye arrive in the East Coast the next morning at 6am and go straight to work and that shower comes in handy.

Yeah but that doesn’t explain why people love to crack jokes about that specifically.

Not everyone - only 2 particular members.

The shower - and access to it - popped up in a bunch of “palace intrigue” post-mortems of the Chapek succession in recent years.

There are, like, three or four people on this forum who basically just use it as their Iger burn book and otherwise ramble incoherently.

 

[BrianLo]

Disney prioritized dealing with the oncoming disaster of cord-cutting rather than goosing their parks. Comcast was late and confused about cord-cutting and streaming and decided to make the parks their priority. Good for Uni park fans. Bad for business...

And neither thread the balance needle correctly between the two.

Why does everyone have a weird obsession with igers shower?

It came out of a story that claimed Iger never actually gave up his office when he stepped down from CEO and Chapek was CEO because he really loved that his office had a shower and he really loved taking multiple showers a day.

I presume he still has this office and will retain it after he (again) steps down from CEO sometime in the next 20 years or so and is kept on in some sort of paid adviser position.
