On layoffs, very bad attendance, and Iger's legacy being one of disgrace

[MisterPenguin]

That must be airbrushed. Echo Lake at DHS doesn't look that clean.

It's certainly unlittered with guests.

Wait, how did we wind up in DAK? Thought we were talking about DHS?

 

[larryz]

Deep.

Are you saying Johnny Depp is a virus?

They should develop a vaccine for him based on the Keith Richards virus then...

Are you saying Johnny Depp is a virus?

No, I wrote deep.

I don’t know, but him and Post Malone both look like the .01% that Lysol doesn’t kill.

A cast member once said there were thousands of dollars in coins in
Echo Lake. Time to go diving!

Talk about nickel-and-diming their guests!

Smith agrees

Oh... sorry, not wearing my glasses today...

That's ok, I leave milk and cookies out for Satan on Christmas Eve.

I know a dyslexic cultist who conjured Santa to do his bidding.

DVC) Disney doesn’t care if DVC rooms are booked. Disney should still be able to charge DVC members their management fees with or without occupancy. As long as Disney is maintaining and operating the resort, Disney should receive its check. Reopening right now might be a no brainer. DVC members with access to contracts would know for sure.

Disney absolutely does care whether DVC rooms are booked, if for no other reason than that they desperately need to reduce the number of 2021 points being banked into 2022. I knew bookings were low past December, based on the availability calendar, but as of a couple of days ago (and no, I am not willing to go into details, though it's somewhat anecdotal and not technically "insider info"), I now have reason to believe that it's far worse than it seemed.

If you ask the DVC cast members who are perhaps barely surviving on unemployment if the DVC resorts should open - Heck ya!

Likewise it is wonderful to see so many old school names dropping in.

Not wanting to read a bombardment of dumb people to get to the good ones is why I kept hesitating to post. Not because I care about them. But because it takes time to mute/block/troll whoever is in the way of the good stuff. Still, I'm here. Let's see what they got.

You can't layoff enough people in WDI. The place needs to be shut down and padlocked. Then after a period of time, you bring it back to life. With new people, with new dreams. And without this tired bunch of talentless hacks.


On Splash Mt... I don't think its ever gonna happen. Maybe in Anaheim. But the company is broke. Their financial situation is gravely serious and some heartbreaking change is ahead for Disney. Yet Bob Iger makes the call that "something has to be done" to monetize the current political climate. So we get this project. I should add that some of the stuff pitched is elaborate as hell. Ride flume rerouting. Concrete removal. New sets. New AAs. But its all concept with no clear runway to reality. They don't even plan on closing the ride until 2022. The project itself is on like a three year timetable. Basically an excuse to keep all "the right people" employed while everything else is vaporized.

I kept saying that the sets would have to be torn out and the concrete would have to be removed in Florida for this concept to work at all. But where would they be getting that money from???

Lol, I just didn’t know whether I would break forum rules by posting links. I will DM you too, but anyone else can simply search YouTube for “Fire Bob Iger” and “Disney Rumors.”

Of course it was by "Clownfish TV" and "Geek + Gamers"

Nah detroit is legitimately rubbish. Orlando isn't half as bad and being in florida i can shoot back. To be fair it could suffer alot but i think it will be far more bounceier than detroit in coming back. People still want to live here. Ever here anyone want to move to detroit?

There’s a ton of expensive condos, apartments and townhomes downtown Detroit so someone is interested... I lived there for several years. I wouldn’t be opposed to returning but would be priced out of the trendy areas.

Parts of Detroit aren’t great but that’s true of any city. It’s changed and improved a lot in recent years. But you can just keep on depicting it as Robocop or 8 Mile Detroit if you’d like.
