What remains to be heard is if during the next Disney earnings public conference call with Wall Street will the analysts ask highly paid Bob some tough questions namely this matter during Q&A.Since it doesn't appear to have been mentioned yet, I'll just drop this here and wait for @Sirwalterraleigh's head to explode:
Unpacking Bob Iger’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good PR Week
Many in Hollywood hoped the re-upped Disney CEO, long considered the corporate leader most in tune with talent, would emerge as a levelheaded mediator who could end the labor impasse. And then he spoke his mind.www.hollywoodreporter.com

Only one line in that article sticks to the ribs
“A source very familiar with Iger found his comments in the CNBC interview to be angry and self pitying”
I hear the voice who said it. Someone who considered Iger to be a whiner many years prior.

It’s a real test of how much his clout has eroded? He enjoyed 15 years of never being questioned. But literally nothing under the roof is going the right way…as it stands…

He’s really aimless without Mucha. No way 1) he goes into an interview such as that so underprepared and 2) that a trade like Variety would write that story without fear of retribution.
They'll all ask the same question: When are dividends coming and how much?

I was just kidding. But I just googled it. Oh Dear God.
No doubt already on eBay for a hundy.

What you think they’ll do for Snow White? Sell a commemorative apple?

I know you were - that’s why it’s funny!
But also not funny…
I bet they’ll sell more of those buckets than tickets for the movie. That’s the sad part.

At this point Disney desperately needs a momentum builder.
Sadly, with the slate of movies they’ve got lined up, I just don’t see it. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying they’ll all flop. I’m sure there will be some, if not many, that will turn a profit.
But what they need now is that “Frozen”, that First “Pirates of the Caribbean”. Something that far exceeds the expectations. Then equally as important. They need to build on that momentum.

Too bad they never struck while the iron was hot and made that Toy Story spinoff for Jodi Benson and Michael Keaton.

I am loving that with the writers strike, Igers name is constantly being called out. He has single handedly destroyed his own reputation with his comments.
He not going to be able to throw someone else under the bus about this. He has to own it.
His ‘ride of a lifetime’ is completely de-railing from the plan and I am all here for it

They’d make more on that than the movie.
Guests will buy pretty much anything. A guest collected 4oz of Splash Mountain water with documentation on the last day of operation at MK , sold it online to the highest bidder - $120.
