Uh of course he’s going to say that publicly, otherwise he’d (further) tank the stock

Yeah, I was excited reading about all of the low attendance stuff before our trip a few weeks ago. Results did not bear that out. We were there from 8/16-8/23, and it was quite packed every day. We were at Universal for 4 days before that, and while quite busy, it really wasn't too bad. Disney, though, seemed every bit as busy as prior August trips. Combine that with the surface-of-the-sun weather, and it was an exhausting trip (but still fun).

You going to fill that 300K a year crisis PR job they posted after Sun Valley?

It's not just what he is publicly saying, it's also the good numbers coming from their filings. You have the CEO stating confidence, you have good numbers coming out of their reporting, you have independent analysts calling the park performance "exceptional" and yet the same voices on the internet hoping that they will eventually RUE THE DAY.
Maybe that day will come... maybe.
Pessimistic or not, he walked away with a $23M exit package when he was fired.

I would like to get it, but there isn't a whole lot being offered here to get. Mostly just a lot of wishful thinking from people who want to be justified in their dissatisfaction. But here we are and Iger is still in charge and nothing ever changes.
Like what?

The stock is being propped up by the excellent position the parks are in.

Dude cmon. You know very well that Disney isn’t doing that well in other areas, we don’t have to cover them for that.

They have some short term challenges, yes. Long term though? Unless there is a massive shift in the way people experience entertainment, away from TV and movies, they will be fine.
If you want a more balanced outlook on how they're doing... read this:
Disney Gets Stock Price Target Cut by More Than $30 From Wells Fargo Analyst
“Approaching calendar year 2024, we think the longer-term direct-to-consumer earnings/margins story begins to emerge as the key reason to own Disney in duration," writes analyst Steven Cahall.

Yup, this was my exact experience 8/18-8/26.

I am disappointed. IF there is allegedly a drop in attendance, I hoped it made the guest experience better. There are reports in this thread of very low wait times and I am beginning to think while there are moments of low wait times, the guest experience is not any better on the whole.
