So the problem I see here is not that Disney hasn't produced entertainment for the masses, but that they haven't produced entertainment that will please EVERYONE. "I want an e-ticket ride", "I want more/less Star Wars", "I want no more Stich", "I want no Shanghai park", "I want to see more of the color blue in It's a Small World".

Not everyone wants more e-ticket rides, and not everyone hates Magic Bands. Some will, some will not. I personally feel that Disney is what it is, an escape from reality that is a total immersion, not just a roller coaster ride followed by a walk to another roller coaster ride. When I planned our first family trip there when the kids were still under 10, we never once considered what e-ticket ride was at what park. We went so that we could enjoy and take it all in. We didn't step foot on RRC or ToT that first trip and it turned out just fine.

Could there be some things done differently in my mind? Yes, definitely but that is my opinion. I am fine with the way things are, Disney is as much a state of mind as it is a destination. If you go in expecting anything other than what it is you of course will be disappointed.

Perhaps BOB IGER will be vain enough to type his name into google whilst purring over his next dream movie project ... and see the absolute hate for him.

A despicable CEO of the worst order. GREED at the heart of his love. Single handedly destroyed Walt's vision of the parks. A man consumed by greed and staying in power he has all but asset stripped WDW to protect his profits and salary. Short termism CEO's like him destroy companies. See, Panam, see IBM, see Time Warner, Lehman Brothers, all had CEO's who were driven by short termism and getting profit in to satisfy themselves, rather than looking after the long term future of the product they were in charge of.

BOB IGER NOT ONE E-TICKET ATTRACTION IN OVER 10 YEARS OF HIS TENURE.

BOB IGER LETTING PARKS ROT.

BOB IGER WASTING BILLIONS ON A POINTLESS extension of the fast pass system.

BOB IGER OVERSEEING SOME OF THE BIGGEST RISE IN TICKET PRICES IN THE HISTORY OF DISNEY.

BOB IGER LAYING OF LOYAL CAST MEMBERS AT TIMES OF RECORD PROFITS SO HE CAN ARTIFICALLY KEEP PROFITS HIGH FOR HIMSELF.

Now you're just repeating yourself Jordan? Better than quoting oneself, but a bell end move nonetheless. Again, unsurprising....

Give me a break. Walt Disney (the man) was a capitalist, plain and simple. When he said "quality will out," he wasn't speaking out of some rainbow-and-unicorn desire to give people kewl things just to be a super kewl dude. "Quality will out" means "building high-quality things is the best way to get people to give us piles and piles of money." Now you can disagree about whether Bob Iger has successfully implemented that particular strategy in pursuit of profit, but the pursuit of profit itself is nothing new.

He also said that “Disneyland is not just another amusement park. It’s unique, and I want it kept that way. Besides, you don’t work for a dollar- you work to create and have fun.” - See more at: http://www.mywaltdisneyquotes.com/disneyland-quotes/#sthash.Hqw7AJSd.dpuf

Movies in generally have lost touch not just disney, they are just moving with the times, especially with Universal making waves with minions.

I'm so sick of seeing those cancerous minions. I liked them at first when they were just in small doses, but now with they're everywhere and I never want to see them again. Disney's still making great movies, but I hope that Lasseter can sway the new regimes after Iger leaves for more Hand Drawn films. The question is who will leave first. Lasseter or Iger?

I know that a lot of us don't want it, but the reality is that he extended his contract at least 2 or 3 times in the past few years. In Iger's mind, his tenure as CEO will never be complete as long as there's billions of dollars left to be received in the world.

The "Save Disney" campaign (both of them) had the advantage of having a relative of Walt Disney behind it utilizing the Disney name (Roy E. Disney, Walt's nephew). A campaign now would almost have to have a similar pull behind it to get off the ground. I'm all for signing a petition to knock him out of his position but it has to be a well structured and thought out campaign. NOT someone just ranting political views on a fan-based web forum.

The first one gave us Eisner. Both did great things for the company. But in both cases, the longer they stayed, the worst they were for the company. Eisner's problem was losing the safety net that was Frank Wells, Iger's problem is that he's making the company nothing more than an IP explotation company and doesn't care if the heart and soul of what makes Disney Disney is one day lost.

Yes it did. But a new CEO's never starts out as being a money grabber. They hone that craft after years of service until they've padded their retirement so much that leaving the company wouldn't bother them anyway.

Exactly. Like I said, both Eisner and Iger started out great. But the difference is I think that Eisner would've continued to make great decisions if Frank Wells was still alive to tell him no. Iger has no one to tell him no, especially the past 6 years since Roy E. Disney died. The company under Iger is starting to feel less like the Walt Disney Company, but rather the corporation that owns the Walt Disney Company as well as many other exploitable IPs.

This. Like I had stated previously, people of power arent just going to step down because a few people on the Internet are upset. If that were the case we'd all be in big trouble.

Supposing Iger were to retire any time soon, do you guys (or anyone) think his obvious replacement Staggs would be any improvement?
