3) Yes Avatar Land - 5 years and waiting. Star Wars Land - yes you can wait five or more years for that too. Don't make me laugh regarding the re-do of Maeslstrom for Frozen. Smoke and mirrors - Avatar could be years away. Star Wars - i believe it when i start seeing construction. But he's been here for more than ten years - not one e-ticket attraction. Disgrace.

Avatar is set to start soft openings by the end of this year. Just throwing that out there.

As usual Disney fan boys like @hakunamatata , shutting down any debate by polluting the thread with nonsense

WDW has not received a respectable E-Ticket under his reign at WDW. A massive failure.

He has been slow to invest in new projects and the projects announced do have longterm timelines, making it difficult to wait with such needy parks at the moment.

Star Wars might turn out great, but EPCOT and DHS are not up to Disney standard at the moment....not even close. All of the "Favorite" rides are pre-Iger with the exception of Toy Story, a fun, but lazy attraction from a Disney perspective.

Not sure what you're saying on other CEOs. Iger has been one of the highest (top 5) paid CEOs in recent years (by a lot). I think he madw over $40m in 2015 and only like MSFT's new CEO and crazy Larry Ellison make more.

Yes, DIS stock has performed well, but Iger's pay is among the most insane of any US company, so you are not correct in saying "CEOs are making as much or more" across America because only like 2 or 3 make more than Iger and Iger makes like double his closest competitors. CEOs make a lot, but hardly any make Iger Money.

Iger has been a great shareholder CEO. I own shares. I am happy about that. But he's essentially stood on the shoulders of geniuses before him to squeeze pennies out of WDW and expand the Disney name in China. I'm fine with all that, but the flagship parks should NOT be in their current state under a "good" CEO. He's been awful for WDW.

First it was Meg....now the crosshairs are on Bob (both of which deserve blame). What about the shareholders who cast their votes and the mindless pleebs of these forums that complain and complain.....and complain but still continue to go to the parks like a crack addict to their dealer.

Don't go, don't give them your money. That is the course we (my family) have chosen but until enough people take action that hits them in the pocket then you can forget having a voice and you can forget being heard and you can forget doing so from a forum or using a petition.

I think most hardcore Disney geeks are going to keep going to the parks. That is inevitable.

The ones that might end up reevaluating the value they are receiving from a Disney vacation are probably the average, everyday tourists and visitors that make up the majority of visitors to the parks.

Don't like either, but If I was forced to choose, I'd rather see park attendance drop from increased ticket prices than lack of attractions or wholly closed sections of the parks.

We (me and the fam) are in the minority then because after 7 family trips (10 for me personally) we are not headed back anytime soon. I've been on these forums since 2008 and going to Disney since 1977 but enough is enough with issues, problems and a de-valued experience. That was pretty much my point. That unless people take action more than typing their name from their easy chair nothing will change. Shaking your angry fist at the sky...useless.

If the world was run on petitions, we'd all be screwed. People in power would simply be overthrown because a minority of people on the internet were upset about something.

I'd disagree with you, but considering your current incarnation will be gone by then Jordan, why bother....

Let's make a deal. If Avatar is not open by the end of the year, you will stop posting on this forum? Agreed ... you are super confident after all.

Let me tell you Avatar is no where near being ready.

It's interesting to see that both Eisner and Iger had one thing in common...They'd stick to one thing and focus on that before they leave the company..
Eisner: Sequels to classic animated films that were not really necessary
Iger: Live action remakes of Disney classics that were not really necessary

Eisner at least cared about the theme park division. Iger has utter contempt for it.

NOT ONE e-TICKET ATTRACTION UNDER 10 YEARS OF IGER. Disgraceful. No one can defend that.

You'll be lucky to make it until the end of the month, Jordan. That's what I'd be confident of....

That's called "Padding their Retirement" because they will be paid residuals for eternity from any $ made from them.

Not that I care for Iger but what about Mine Train? Little Mermaid?
