It’s not about your personal experience. The “guy in the video” breaks down the entire history, the theory and the application…and then does a case study in real time to prove the point. It’s about numbers and studying patterns.
So we’ll agree to disagree. We’ll go in circles if the “I think THIS” is used as “evidence”. Have a good one
Ever hear of "elasticity of demand?" Some products are more elastic than others. But all have their breaking point.
I'm past my breaking point. I just can't justify the cost and the trouble of traveling from northern New England with two young children for what now doesn't seem like a particularly enjoyable experience anymore.
I hear a lot of the same…and it is “tempered”…for now…with the long-standing belief in Disney and the very human instinct to take a bit of a leap of faith and “hope it works out”
That was…it was 100% a complete bait and switch. Make announcement to create buzz, keep WDI out of their hair wasting time on “design”…and can it “just cause”
Bob I - where's your nametag?
Does anyone with any power in the company realize this change in the fan base is happening and the amounts of negative press going around, or are the engines going full speed to the iceberg? Just wondering if anyone in the crows nest is sounding the alarm.I hear a lot of the same…and it is “tempered”…for now…with the long-standing belief in Disney and the very human instinct to take a bit of a leap of faith and “hope it works out”
…which means they still have some time to fix some of what’s going on. But not forever. I don’t think there was anyway chapek would be out of there quickly…
…but if their park attendance starts to collapse…the board will have no choice.
Some people hate Rice. But at least he’s a Hollywood guy.
He’s retired…he is “no one”
There’s no icebergs out there if your concern is Wall Street.
D'Anaro has zero media experience (which is crucial for the job), is a revenue management guy by training, and came up through Chapek at CP, and is loyal to him for giving him these huge career jumps.
Well a lot of people seem to be on to his game…which is nothing really…
Will attendence make the board act? It seems they are making more money than ever before under his leadership ( wether or not it is from his doing or his implementation of the weatherman’s plan)I hear a lot of the same…and it is “tempered”…for now…with the long-standing belief in Disney and the very human instinct to take a bit of a leap of faith and “hope it works out”

Let s keep in mind that parks and resorts are just one part of TWDC. Some predict the sky is falling in parks and resorts and that may lead to Chapek leaving. I'm curious how the numbers pan out in future Wall Street quarterly public earning calls with Chapek, CFO Christine and the Wall Street analysts as Chapek discusses TWDC business in addition to parks and resorts. If he can pull magic out of a hat and exceed Wall Street revenue estimates and impresses the street and company shareholders , he's not going anywhere for the moment.
Right now that Iceberg is many miles off. For some to stop going it will take probably a couple years before they realize just how much more it is costing now. Those that are wealthy will tire of it all and find new stuff to amuse themselves. The Pandemic has limited the number of places to socially impress others. But it will happen.
Wall Street isn't the concern at all. It isn't even related to reality. It's a place were rich people go to gamble. Common folks, those people that made Disney what it is, are bothered or even affected very little by what Wall Street does.
Maybe. Repeat customers are not high on their priority list. As long as the "one and dones" keep showing up, they could care less.
