They've been using that designation since at least mid-November, when they launched the new website.

Shouldn’t it be DisneyParks, Experiences and Products?

More MBA crap.
"Walt Disney Parks and Resorts" always made more common sense, with or without a Consumer Products division affiliated. Forgetting the "resorts" part, I think, has been a part of the problem with the "experience" overall these days, especially at Walt Disney World where the "resort" concept should be the most fleshed out of any resort complex in the world.
No matter what they call it, they are better off by leaving the corporate office often and, just like Walt did, walking around the parks and resorts and "experiencing" their product ... and hearing real live consumers... themselves than they will get from any offsite data analysis alone. That is rarely a tool business schools teach, but Walt helped build that business that way. And it certainly worked.

They’re trying to make the illusion that all things are quintessential Disney...and that products and parks are of equal quality.,
They are not.
Parks are high quality (until the Bobs get done with them)
Products are almost the opposite

...for the win
I totally agree. And do it without their handlers and without their name tag. Be as incognito as possible. Actually experience the parks as a regular guest. I think there have been Disney CEO's and other high-ranking people who did that, once upon a dream...
They only did this to better hide the consumer products bleeding. Just as they did when they merged Interactive Media into Consumers Products.
This change makes it difficult to determine exactly how the parks attendance and revenue are doing. The Division had a 5% increase in revenue and a 10% increase on profits. However the increase in profits and revenue includes drops in consumer products and Shanghai and Paris with a small increase in Japan. Therefore we can be sure Domestic Parks and resorts had revenue increases in excess of 5% and profit increases of over 10%. Unfortunately, it is now impossible to know the exact numbers.

Correct
Yes...it does....
...so what are they Hiding for a ceo looking to cash out?
You can’t spell corporate synergy without DPEP.
How soon after he retires do you think Iger liquidates his TWDC stock? Weeks? Days? Minutes?

True, he does have over a million shares to liquidate, and who knows how many more he'll be gifted by the BoD for "exceptional performance" between now and 2021. (Being facetious, I know that's not exactly how it works
)
