Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Wait, what, didn't it used to be a couple hundred dollars a short time ago?

I priced it out about a year ago…it was a lot.

Edit:
It’s $440 for Friday…but ironically drops to $280 on satruday…

I think what we’ve seen the last year or so is all of Orlando has outkicked its coverage on price…

Just because they think people will spend 300% on vacation from what they did 20 years ago…doesn’t make it so.

At some point people had to start saying NO

Peloton is now selling in big box stores for 1/3 the price that the were 4 years ago

You should be fired and assets seized if you were an executive of that

In 2021 the CEO bought a 55 million estate in the East Hamptons amid the company's plummeting stock.

Speaking of Florida, my wife remembers growing up and visiting Destin when it basically costed nothing. Has changed a lot. She would tell me stories about how cheap it was.

How about "Life is a tale full of sound and fury signifying nothing" I liked it the way it was presented better in the Steve Martin movie, LA Story

He just sold 24 million in stock this month. Guess he needed the money...I wish I were a CEO and I could just sell stock and get golden parachutes. Or be like Peleton and buy magnificient homes when the economy is tanking...

Golden parachutes are even for execs who get fired for performance ( ie Chapek - $23M ). Ovitz in the 1990s had a better parachute - over $100M.

I miss those days in business school. Oh well.

I have a degree in business management, if you can believe it

It should scare the crap out of the Disney hierarchy. Maybe they should sell to Bezos now when they can get a good price?

Honestly…even some in Gen X are becoming skeptical/defectors…and realize how high its tolerances was for cynicism in the first place

It really does take the sheen off of the once pristine brand. But as long as people continue to pay $6 for a bottle of filtered tap water, Disney don't care.

Speaking of money, people are paying for a lot for NVidia stock, after it posted 265% in profits for the quarter. AI chips. It's a bargain for 714 a share.

That was a great movie, btw.

 

[Eric Graham]

It was a bargain at 714, I bought 100,000 shares...

You’re gonna make your stand on bottled water?

How about “after hours”…which is literally a scam to fix a “problem “ they created

Like making an arsonist fire chief

Whoa calm down there Scrooge McDuck. Maybe go for another dip in the ole Money Bin?

Is that an another Robin Hood Scam ?

No thanks. I will stand on line at the park water fountain with other fellow guests filling up my empty water bottle and or asking a cast member for a cup of water and ice. That's a lot cheaper than $6.
