News Disney's top executives arrive at Walt Disney World for a global retreat

[larryz]

LOL, slumming it this year.

Slumming it with a big tax write-off on a building still in depreciation mode...

 

[mightynine]

Overheard as execs tour attractions: "Does this have something in development for Disney+ yet?"*

*not really overheard

Was Aspen booked?

Gates rented out all of sun valley just to p!$$ with them…

Brian Roberts gave him the idea

I meant nothing?!?!?!?!

OK Then...............

Just making fun of the missing "l" in "public", that's all. Struck me as funny this morning.

I would have thought the Grand Floridian would be their preference, since it's such a great deluxe resort...

If someone who is there sees Josh or another parks executive, could you please let them know of ToT’s poor show quality and to give it a proper budget to fix everything? It just keeps getting worse and worse every few months.

Please don't bring that up with them. They will say "crap we forgot to put the GoT skin over that" let's green light that

Lack of a “booked up” park with upsells for bad rides would strengthen the case they need to do that

Typically the executive retreats happen at Y&B resorts.

Will they be touring the park incognito and experience the park as John Q public ---waiting in long lines, eating reduced meal sizes, paying outrageous prices for snacks, getting up at 6:30 am to get a Genie + attraction, expecting to ride something that's broken and off line. Some how I don't think so.

Or agonizing over planning an exorbitant day of park-hopping when you can't spend the morning at the Magic Kingdom and have lunch at Epcot until dinner-time?

Not sure if this has been mentioned but our favorite site is claiming the Play Pavilion has officially been canned….

It's being reworked into the Pay Pavilion.
Experience the thrill of upgrading every aspect of your Disney Vacation! (For additional fee(s).)
(Pay Pavilion requires a separate admission fee from your Epcot Ticket)

I thought it was basically “done”…what the hell actually happened on a bloated “timeline”???

This one is probably a doozy. Did they do an “announcement” and capex to do interior demolition on an abandoned pavilion??

To something better?

No way in hades (unless they can get a hades ride out of it)

The only good news is that the roof is more weatherproof than it used to be.

(that’s not news that a weather pavilion is coming either. That sailed with Chapeks IP mandate)
