WDW Pro and Clownfish are clickbait for Disney purists who opposed Iger's IP buying spree and want to bring Disney back to the "glory days" (as in, the leftist-targeting, fascist-supporting, union-suppressing days; reminder that Walt's politics were no different from that of Rupert Murdoch's).
But why then would they stop work on the Tron and Guardians coasters? At this point, the only thing about the 50th that's worth celebrating is the fact that WDW is still around at all.
While Disney isn't "running out of money" they aren't making profits, either.
Only if the demand quickly comes back after the rules are relaxed. International, business travel and youth events won't be coming back for years, if at all.
WDW was regularly hitting their 35% (or is it 40%?!!) capacity all holiday. Remember, a reservation system was needed to hold back the crowds even though it is insanely dangerous to be in crowds during a pandemic.
Your fears are unfounded. As time goes on things will go back to normal. Wearing a mask (actually smart during flu season) and other protocols will not be here long term. I suspect at this point based on current data won't last beyond fall/winter this year. As with any other viruses that we deal with we find ways to combat it. This too is happening with COVID, we have treatments and now vaccines.
I have no horse in this race, but, objectively it looks more like you're saying they're saying that than it does that they're actually saying that.
The “glory days” as in the “creatively rich” days.
WDWPro: "Disney's losing money, at the moment spending is being directed to Disney+"
Not if they want to preserve the strength of their profitable businesses that actually feed streaming the content. The last thing we want is for Disney to follow AT&T's path and sacrifice their entire studio slate to the streaming gods, resulting in thousands of layoffs due to lost profits and potentially a forced sale of the studio entirely to please investors (HBO Max is a separate operating unit from WB, meaning the latter is making almost nothing from the HBO Max deal). That's not even getting into all the talent and executives who might exit and the labor unions that may boycott.

Slpy3270 is one of those idiots who like to go on Disney fan sites and bash the Disney company's creator out of a wealth of ignorance and arrogance.
Looks like to me a correction of over-exuberance that came from the Investor Day data dump.
