Also. What’s going on in Orlando?

Everybody is skipping their trip, waiting for EPIC Universe to open maybe.

A lot of people, including me, are avoiding Florida like the plague. DL is now my best friend.

Interesting to see that subscribers grew for their streamer, Peacock, and yet stocks went down despite lots of other good indicators.

It's almost as if Wall Street isn't counting total number of subscribers any more in their stock portfolio.

Remember that when we get Disney's filings.

(Anecdotally) I have peacock because I get it free with my my internet tier through a promo, and before I had it free because I had a Comcast cable subscription. The day I have to pay for it is the day I cancel.

 

[BaconPancakes]

I pay for Peacock to watch Chucky.

Maybe. Also could be people went west for the Nintendo world, or they are delaying til the new park opens. Or it's just Disney drives all other parks in the area still.

Agreed. Disney is the economic engine.

Maybe a people discovered that the Mouse is a Rat.

Will definitely check that out. Big Chucky fan back in the day, but I don't think I've seen anything past "Seed".

Same. I’m wearing that Magic Key out even though I live much closer to WDW.

For me, it’s because Disneyland feels much more Disney to me than WDW - the Florida parks have lost so much magic.

Rat, schmat. They're tourists, whadda they know?

Disneyland feels like that great new unique local pizza place when it first opened. Disney World feels like when private equity got a hold of it and started franchising

Well in China you MUST love it and The Party.

and

Japan is the only one that is truly a masterpiece. Likely because it isn't run or owned by Disney.

Credit Card Declined? Maxed Out? All I did was buy a Genuine Mickey Bar Ice Cream Novelty.

Congratulations in making it happen in regards to your daughter will be debt free after college. My peer's kid is in a situation graduated from the US Naval Academy debt free , while getting paid approx $1K monthly courtesy of the US govt while at the Academy. He's stationed in Japan as a Marine officer living on base so he can even save more $$ for retirement.

If you go into debt while attending a service academy, you have a serious problem.

Comcast sinks despite profit beat, as broadband subscribers slip and ad revenue slumps

Comcast revenue and earnings both topped analyst estimates as theme park sales rose, and Peacock added 4 million subscribers.

Wonder what the reaction would be to wearing this at WDW?

Service academy - free tuition room and board, basic medical dental , = college debt free.
