Chapek's beard is as awkward and poorly-conceived as all the other Disney overlays. A plus-up for sure, but it just doesn't quite conceal what used to be there; you can see the Superstar Limo behind the Monsters Inc.

There are definitely some lunatic fans out there. They are probably the same type that cry during movie trailers. I'm sure these people curse Chapek's name each day for "ruining the magic" while also having the highest tier annual pass.
I don't take issue with Chapek himself, he's just part of 20+ years of bad company culture. Late era Eisner, Iger, and Chapek are all the same as far as I'm concerned.
At the end of the day these are business/finance people trying to run a creative company.
Iger gets the best reputation because he happened to be the one spending big money on acquisitions. Chapek had to pick up the tab for it and during a pandemic too.
A lot of the things people blame Chapek for (reservations, Genie+) were all started during Iger's rule, Flexpass was a thing a year before the pandemic and paid fastpass was in the works since 2012 and already existed with Maxpass in 2018.

From Disney Parks Facebook:
"JUST ANNOUNCED: During the Legends Ceremony at D23 Expo, CEO Bob Chapek shared that Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure is expanding with a third attraction with a brand-new story that will bring guests into battle alongside their favorite Super Heroes. More to come on Sunday during Josh D’Amaro’s Hall D23 presentation featuring special guest Kevin Feige."
@Californian Elitist Could this be mention of the Avengers ride? Or some silly show?

If it’s a show, I will crack open a bottle of wine.

Nah, I'm even more convinced its the reintroduction of the E-Ticket, its the "bring guests into battle alongside their favorite Super Heroes" line as that is exactly how they described the Quinn Jet attraction.

Okay, that's a bit better because there's still some salt-n-pepper in it. He looks less like Santa Claus In Training than he did in that Twitter video. But still... I wonder what Mrs. Chapek thinks?
There was like, maybe 1 person clapping.
They were probably just staring at his new beard.
But... ouch. He's got to know at this point what the company's fans think of him. You almost kind of feel sorry for him. Almost.

Ya that’s what I’m thinking. A Coaster doesn’t really scream “bring guests into battle alongside their favorite superhero’s.” Sounds like what they re describing is taking place on a screen. Of course it could be screens in a coaster like Cosmic Rewind but I wouldn’t put my money on it.
Yep. Because wine would help with the disappointment. That and shopping, my personal favorite.

The Nordstrom at South Coast Plaza has a nice bar on the 3rd floor. Tell them I sent you.
