Disney's Bob Iger to Choose Sucessor Soon
The big boardroom story, according to my sources, is that Walt Disney Co Bob Iger has f I n a l l y made the decision to name an heir apparent. So it’s between Tom Staggs, the Chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, and Jay Rasulo, the Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of The Walt Disney Co. “People are canvassing and campaigning for this like an election campaign,” one insider tells me. Tom’s the pretty boy. Rasulo’s kinda troll-like. “Jay knows how to talk to Wall Street. But Disney loves their leaders fit and healthy.” It’s also part of that company’s lore that Michael Eisner plucked Bob Iger from obscurity because he looked good in a speedo.
Got to give another shoutout for the Beast. Agree 100% with your assessment of it.
I think there was a fandom that liked the Iron Man and Spiderman movies, beyond that I'd say there wasn't much crossover.
I have been very disappointed by Disneyland merchandise. I think the only items I've purchased out in California are the Fastpass pins and some stuff at Mickey's of Glendale. I have yet to find a t-shirt in park that I like.
I imagine that happens on more than 75% of sales.
Busch Gardens in Tampa does have a vendor in the line for Congo River Rapids. If you've ever seen the line stretch over the bridge you'd know exactly why.
Iger.
I got crazily into it when I got to be an extra in "The Avengers". Now I'm rather obsessed.
I think there is something to this. Putting the movies aside, I think from a theme park standpoint it's more popular now that it has a shot of coming to Disney parks outside of FL. Of course WDW fanboys could have gone up the street and seen Marvel theme park attractions all along.
That's how I feel about all elections but I still vote...
Right....
So 200mil is the line for dog vs hit? whoa the new hollywood math is crazy.
Agreed. But good Scandinavian design always ages well, that's not a concept exclusive to airport architecture or the 21st century. Much less aging Scandinavians like myself.
That's why the 60 year old "Danish Modern" furniture pieces in my home still look fresh and fantastic in 21st century SoCal. LAX should have been on its third renovation by now, after it stopped being modern and useful about the same time stewardesses stopped wearing miniskirts and go-go boots. But it's finally getting a renovation to the tune of Billions of dollars and it will take years of construction and headache.
I wish them well. But it's still a gross airport. And what a miserably frustrating way to start or end a Disneyland vacation. Much less the embarrassment that LAX provides as a major port of entry to overseas visitors to our country. Eek!
