Chapek walked away with a $20M in severance pay . Why would he want to come back ?Allowing Bob C. To step into Igers shoes. Then after creating havoc allowing Iger to come back with another extended term so he can continue to set up more bad pathways for Disney to continue on.
Didn’t say he is coming back. He replaced Iger when he first “retired” which was bad move #1. Then when havoc came Iger came back. Bad move #2.Chapek walked away with a $20M in severance pay . Why would he want to come back ?
I loved those Osborne lights on Streets of America . One evening Jennings came with his family and wowed us with his visit. Gone too soon, RIP. If you ever are at Ft Wilderness campground, many of the guest RVs in the trailer loops are decked out with Christmas lights in December and it is turned into their own version of a Christmas light show.For me personally, it was the loss of the Osborne lights I would have easily gone without Galaxy's Edge and kept the city streets in order to keep the Osborne lights.
We loved going to WDW during the Christmas season and walking through the NY streets to see the light and music show. No one elses light shows ever compared. And it was always a competition between me and DS to see who could first sight the Black Cat. But it was a seasonal thing and didnt bring in $$$ and when Disney saw the chance to add SWL which would be profitable for them... I thought they could have found another place to continue on with the Osbourne show since it was always so much a guest favorite. .For me personally, it was the loss of the Osborne lights I would have easily gone without Galaxy's Edge and kept the city streets in order to keep the Osborne lights.
Absolutely! I agree...This is an opinion based thread just wanted to see what everyone thought.... I think getting rid of the old FP system and filling in the Lagoon and Closing 20,000 Leagues.
I can see where you’re coming from but for me it’s not even comparable. TBA does have quite a few weak points but it is a vastly superior attraction to something like FEA. I also understand the stakes were higher replacing SM, but for me at least, there are some strong visual aspects of TBA that do stand out. On the other hand, JII was completely and utterly torn out for almost nothing. Blank walls and a couple window display dioramas that looked like the inside of an elementary school science fair. Will always be WDI’s worst attraction, I will never be able to understand how they messed up so severelyWhile I agree, I think splash to tba may be in the running now.
Yes, I think in a general sense the worst decision has been going down this route of over-complicating the park-going experience. I feel like there have been many errors made in terms of eliminating or replacing different attractions, but there is ultimately the possibility of these errors being rectified or better attractions coming in the future. Making the park experience so dependent on aps, paid reservation systems, and programming ride times in advance, however, is harder to unwind and is all-encompassing rather than just a something good going away.The worst decision for my family was WDW's pennywise and pound foolish monetizing of shorter wait times by introducing ILL/G+... while making changes to staffing and capacity that it knew would increase standby wait times, and structuring queues to ensure that standby guests would be able to see (and be demoralized by) just how many lightning lane guests were gaining priority access, all to further incentivize ILL/G+ purchases.
Of all the changes, downgrades, and cuts WDW has made in the 10+ years we've been visiting as a family, that was the one that eroded the quality and pleasantness of our visits the most, and broke the proverbial camel's back as far as us wanting to return. We have no desire to deal with the time-consuming hassle and extra expense of ILL/G+, and no desire to deal with the time-consuming hassle and [still hugely expensive] exercise of waiting in standby lines that WDW has intentionally made longer and slower -- either way, we lose.
