I bet it would be more than that. My guess is that they'll try to hide the sticker shock by making a stay there be at least three or four days. More of a package thing.

Well it remains to be scene...but I think the one ride is gonna be great and the other a complete punt...so 50/50
As far as the overall theme goes...I just don't know.

With the recent market changes, they may be reading the tea leaves for the future knowing they won't be able to refinance their $750 Million in bonds they have outstanding at better rates and that they are eventually going to have to actually pay back those bonds with real money. They may just be attempting to stretch out their cash in and out flowsknowing they will have some big expenses in the near future they will have to cover.
If they were smart, they start selling stock shares to make up needed money now, while they can still get a lot of money per share. They probably won't do that as it will dilute their earnings per share for the board members shareholdings.

Yeah...but iger is trying to inflate his stock parachute and the best way to do that is do stock buybacks...
More sales might actually drive the price down.

Yeah really. Most large companies have been playign the bonding to buy back stock game for a while.
http://cbonds.com/emissions/issue/61283 This is just their bonding that c gonna come due in 2022. Play around on the site and you can see other issues due up to 2044.

Yup. , I wouldn't be surpirsed if Iger bails just after his 2019 contract expiration and sells all this holdings at that point once he no longer is required to fill out a From 4 with the SEC.
Problem of sellign more bonds its gonna cost Disney much more as interest rates rise to sell more bonds, even right now.
Once US Treasury bonds become worth something to buy again as a 'safe' asset as interest rates finally rise, (for some definitions of safe - won't bother getting into US solvency issues etc...) fund managers and other investor groups will start buy the US bonds as a better deal than Disney corp bonds, unless they offer higher coupon rates (the % interest) than US Treasury bonds. Disney will eventually be backing themselves into a corner. Shared by a ton of companies but still in a corner.

Hmmm. I’ll save my time and simply agree to disagree on what and why Disney should take your advice.

I don't say that Disney would ever take my advise. It's just they are painting themselves into a corner p bit by bit and they will need to come up with some hard cash sooner or later. Stock sale now might give them more cash for future commitments while prices are still high.

Sounds like he/she has a handle on it to me...but I'm in engineering - what stupid people do.
You're not just taking the opposite/pro-disney side of everything, are you?
...now if you excuse me...I'm gonna hop in the car and see if anyone is standing inline looking for the last jedi somewhere...
Maybe I can scalp some tickets and make some cash?

Back to the original topic,
I really hope they don't delay any SW hotel opening past 2021. I'm willing to pay some stupid amount of money for a night or two there that year. It's my 50th that year and the MK 50th year. Definitely planning for a trip that year and would really want to stay 1-2 nights at a SW themed hotel. stay somewhere cheaper for most of the vacation like mebbe and All Star or buy some DVC points from someone for AKL room, but would move out and go to SW Hotel for two days in the middle of that trip just to stay at SW Hotel.
