Hey Ap'ers, how does it feel to know you are a contingency plan?

[larryz]

Fine by me.

It's the fact that they could care less about people and it shows in their product.......

they used to be all about customer service, making the guest feel number one, cleanliness, going the extra mile to make the experience special and now it's just WHO MAKES US THE MOST MONEY AT THE LOWEST COST

They could care less about people

Been there done that. Several contractors bid on a project. 95% of the time contract is awarded to the lowest bid.

Honesty that is just stupid. Even if you think Disney is different than other sellers of “products” that doesn’t change how a CFO should act…in a freaking financials meeting. It’s just plain stupid to think/expect that Csuite executives are supposed to be tailoring there reports in the same way as a commercial to the general public.

This wasn’t a PR junket, it wasn’t a Disney+ spot. It wasn’t a horse and pony show to drive internet content like D23. It was a business meeting, run like a Fortune 500 company should run such a meeting, using language that one should expect from a proper business meeting.

Let’s take a poll on this one?

Regulatooooorrrrsssss…mount up!!

That’s actually statistically false when the manager knows what they’re doing

Investors are people too.

I know there’s an ignore button, but then I’d miss out on comedy gold like this!

To answer the question in the title... that's what we've always been, a contingency plan.

What you think the investors should be ignored? The people who actually own the company shouldn't have a say in how it's run?

That's comedy.

It’s comedy when you steadfastly refuse to look at Disney as anything other than a line on the page.

If it wasn’t unique…this forum would not exist.

Spend much time on “valvoline Magic”?

You’re ok with numbers…by the psychology and history are lagging behind a little.

I still think we can get you there - however.

I get that you tell yourself this so you can sleep at night. But if you are honest with yourself, you are jealous that I can get a popcorn bucket that you cannot.

It‘s important to work through your feelings, not just bottle them up like I did in my bedroom for 5 years while Mom and Dad engaged in verbal fisticuffs.

He can just buy one on eBay.

…that’s the better way as long as you wait until 500,000 have been sold over the next month

Can't pay the bills in magic and nostalgia. Disney is probably the greatest theme park venture that will ever exist... But it still exists in the real world.

For $500. Might as well buy a Pixie Pass.

Somebody's buying them!

Uninformed dork alert ahead ----- I honestly didn't know that eBay wasn't auction only and when I'd read about people selling stuff on here, I thought everyone was actually bidding for it. I never go on it and my husband asked me if I really thought he was bidding on plants for his aquarium and I said yes.

Disparaging, annoying, and insulting your most loyal and rabid customers on a daily basis is what all the smart CFOs and CEOs do these days.

Been busy since 1997, huh?

I don't know, eBay was just never on my radar.

When you are told by your boss to go with the lowest bid, I don't question it.

I've never been impressed by Disney's leadership.
