Not for it... with it! That requires the desire to get the money unless one is born wealthy. And it depends on what the dream is. If it requires substantial material investment to obtain, then it is a prime motivation. If it is just a personal best like best skier or best baseball player or best singer, song writer and so on. Even then it requires at least a modicum of financial longing in order to maintain ones health in order to attain it. The degree of involvement varies, but still is there.

Plenty of room where abandoned show buildings used to be in EPCOT
Just as empty as the gains corporate sponsorship of those attractions netted.

...if only Disney could find the nickels in the couch cushions to pay for the operation of their own parks?

Potatoes potatos. Legacy is about the power to control the narrative long after you’re gone.

I thought his second fluff-filled book was a How-To, to be titled, “How To Buy Companies to Create A Mega Media Conglomerate (And Kill Creativity and Imagination At The Same Time)”.
I’m surprised his first book was expanded so far beyond the first draft, which was two 3x5 index cards (front AND back).

The first book was not very insightful...other than tacitly confirming what happened with Lucas
You expected it to be insightful? “Buy stuff” “Contain Costs” “Big shareholders good” “Theme parks dumb”
Yeah, he basically kicked George to the curb once the ink dried on the sales agreement. “Bob have good Star Wars ideas. Bob no need George.” (I kid, I kid... Bob doesn’t sound like a Neanderthal at all)

I didn’t expect insightful...and Bob didn’t disappoint.
As far as the Neanderthal goes...they could have probably understood the ethos just as well

Did they restore bonuses? Disney's year ended September. I remember reading they restored the executive salary cuts. I don't remember reading they paid executive bonuses. But then, I don't read everything, so maybe they did.
I think the problem with Iger at the end of his time has not been wanting more money or power. A big part of the problem over these last years creatively have been decisions that were made that cost Iger/Disney money so Iger could be better positioned politically. Once Iger got the money it became about being loved and remembered. He thinks politics is his ticket to those goals.
I am sure many in Disney's studio divisions will be very happy when Iger is finally out of the creative process. There already are enough problems trying to balance financial goals with artistic goals. Having a former weatherman who now thinks he is a creative genius being guided by his future political ambitions in charge of Disney creatively right now has to be a nightmare.

Oh man if that doesn’t sum him up perfectly I don’t know what does!
Iger and Chapek earned less in 2020.

Still waiting for Iger to see his legacy become a "disgrace"....
His legacy will take a decent hit when Disney’s PR machine isn’t managing it anymore and their goal shifts to building up Chapek, just like Eisner’s did when he was replaced. Then a decade later there will be a reassessment where people will start saying it would be nice to have Iger back, just like what happened with Eisner.
