I choose Bran the Broken. As Spaceship Earth will soon tell us, the importance of story is paramount, and who has a better story than Bran the Broken?

Besides being a skilled leader who relates to his workers, can keep the company profitable and the vision to keep moving forward... AND it will be someone who had a pleasant childhood filled with trips to the parks, stays at the resorts and enjoyed the attractions. We need someone who values the parks and has the love for them that we do.

lol, the entire article tells you why that is not about to happen. Basically it boils down to this...

Since Iger took over, Disney’s stock price has risen from $24 to $134 (as of this writing), a 458% increase. Under his leadership, Disney was an early adopter of licensing content to streaming services, creating nine-figure annual revenue streams for the company. At Iger’s behest, Disney aggressively sought out high-profile brand acquisitions such as Pixar Animation, Marvel Entertainment, Lucasfilm and 21st Century Fox. These additions helped transform Disney into the undisputed top theatrical studio in cinema and set the company up as a legitimate threat to Netflix in the streaming wars


Not one mention of the parks

Next telling statement....

There’s a reason why consolidation, scale and verticalization are gripping the industry in a holding pattern of massive mergers and acquisitions. The entity that owns the greatest share of eyeballs will be the big winner in many areas of media consumption.


relate to his workers?? what workers? the cm's in the parks?
