Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

[C33Mom]

I have said this for the longest time. They need to experience it as a regular person, paying out of pocket for stuff and see how things are on the ground. I think there is some combination of apathy and ignorance going on there. Marie

Guys, Bob Iger is probably worth north of $100,000,000 — it doesn’t matter if he has to pay for LLMP and BOG for his entire extended family every day for a month.

Oh, it would be great, and lots of stories of Walt having managers do it, etc ... Just not sure realistic for specific Bob or Josh to do it and not get recognized

But no reason some of the senior managers/executives less known don't do that

IMO, Tony Baxter is more recognizable than Iger or D'Amaro, and I just saw a recent video from DLR where a blogger saw Baxter in Galaxy's edge. Had the blogger not basically pointed him out in the video, I don't think I would have recognized him (definitely wouldn't have if we were doing our thing as a family in Galaxy's edge). I've seen his face on documentaries and extras a lot more than I've seen D'Amaro's.

In regards to Iger he rose up the food chain after graduating from Ithaca went to ABC 50 years ago making $150 per week as an assistant's assistant ( aka gopher ) and recently celebrated 50 years of service with TWDC. He earns approx $50M a year and still can collect his social security check and Medicare. He can pay for his expenses but he doesn't have to since it is his company. There was a time a few years back where he took no salary, cut Chapek's by 50%, and SVP, EVP, VP level cut their salaries 15-30%.

It would if he had to experience the stress of a normal day in the parks like the rest of us

Dude…

He was a throw in when Eisner bought abc…they didn’t even really have a spot for him.

How’s that stock doing for the 401K?

Has Bob ever spent a day in the parks experiencing what Guests have to go through. Seems the only time Bob goes to the park is to promote something ---there and gone

I’m sure he hasn’t. He doesn’t have the time when he’s working so hard

Disney stock closed on Friday 89.93 Bob is only worth 999,999,999 now

My 401K and other market investments are doing mighty fine as a long-term investor. Thanks for asking !

When his kids were much younger , Bob, Willow and young ones enjoyed eating in his favorite dining at MGM, - Sci Fi Drive In. Execs do vacation at the Mouse House with the Mouse picking up the tab.

The cast who celebrate 30 , 35, 40 etc get a statue signifying their years of service to TWDC. Iger has amassed his collection.

I’m sure he hasn’t. He doesn’t have the time when he’s working so hard

That's why he has D'Amaro who rose up the food chain to be Chairman of Parks Resorts Experiences.
