News Iger at Parks This Week

[GhostHost1000]

So seriously, during his time as CEO, was Chapek ever in the Orlando parks? I'm trying to recall a mention of that.

He was. He just didn’t have all the fangirls slobbering over him

If it already hasn’t been mentioned, Iger and D’Amaro were at Animal Kingdom yesterday. They are at Magic Kingdom today, getting an up close look at Tron specifically. Thought some would like to know.

Usually they save these sorts of exclusive photo opportunities for the After Hours events

They are probably making sure their dunk booths won't be too loud near the rentable Cabanas for Dinoland

He became CEO on November 20th and then was at Disneyland as CEO just two weeks later, back on December 3rd.

Why does it take him so long to get out to WDW, and then doesn't return for another year or so?

Disney owns a fleet of Gulfstream jets parked at Van Nuys Airport, so why does Iger so rarely use one of them to fly to Florida?

Same reason every other Californian only comes to Florida in January?

Iger did come last minute in 2012 to MK. Obama team decided last minute to tell WDW that POTUS was going to promote tourism with a speech in front of the castle. Iger and Staggs flew from CA to be part of the invited guest audience.

 

[ToTBellHop]

Is Iger staying at BoardWalk? Anyone visited the gym early morning?

Genie+ has been $15 this week, and was $20 over the long weekend. My family has used it every day for 6 days so far and it's worked flawlessly.

Good grief.

That’s per person per day?

Yeah he was, quite a lot.

It's a price increase. I'm not arguing that. But from my perspective it's a price increase that makes the parks experience better, not a price increase that makes the parks experience worse.

It’s daylight robbery that’s what it is.

Wow.

one can save $15 on entrance fees by going to AK over MK, then you will have that $15 to spend on G+

What a bargain. AK barely has enough attractions for G+

I am joking, I guess one could splurge on the hopper option hop to MK at 2PM and use the g+ there -- but, oh yeah, hopper has one price, so the savings is lost -- I guess then it is MK.

I’m a close personal relative of every person in that photo. The average height is 7’2”, so even though Iger is a robust 6’9”, we didn’t want to give the wrong impression.

Starting to sound like they are avatars

 

[John park hopper]

Iger goes to the parks as a VIP and is treated as such. How about going incognito with a budget of the average visitor and experience what the average joe goes through--long attraction waits-high prices - food quality etc etc. Bob get the real park experience.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

Wow.

I've walked onto every attraction this week, including Big Thunder about six times. That's worth $15. I do, however, loathe Individual Lightning Lanes (and virtual queues). And they should be publishing prices at least 30 days in advance.
