For what it’s worth, Iger is reportedly a big fan of the 64-65 World’s Fair because he attended it as a child. Seriously, it might be the only thing “Walt Disney” that he actually likes. Explains why these attractions have miraculously survived under his rein.
Chapek was Iger's lap dog, so it will indeed be interesting to see how Chapek runs things as the sole head.
It's all likely been very assessed by the bean-counters to keep costs (employee and infrastructure) as low as possible while still having enough "stuff" open to make people happy.
Understood. Even so, it seems odd that an entire food court area will be closed.
Oh no, I'm agreeing with you. It's just a temporary set-back on the road to normal done in the name of the almighty dollar.
Chapek feels more like a puppet than anything else. He‘ll always be turning to Iger for advice. So whatever Iger likes will probably stick around for a good while.
Quoted for emphasis.
His source?
Unless Iger specifically writes “Don’t remove Lincoln, Carousel of Progress, Small World, and the Peoplemover” and frames it on Chapek’s desk, I wouldn’t say we are out of the woods.
Iger will be gone from the company in December.
I also enjoy when "person on twitter" is supposed to be a trusted source.
See? We’re already back to normal life on the boards!
He’s still a puppet, but he’s not responsible for all of the company blunders.
Bashing on Chapek is about as "normal" as it gets around here. It should be a good thing.
