Huh I did not know that still I’d be very surprised if it won out (I am as against that idea as anyone on this board)

That would make more sense to me than someone actually looking at cars in Frontierland vs. other proposals and saying “yes! That’s it!”

No no, just that Iger is good at running the entire conglomerate. Eisner would have (and did) blunder.
Iger is no doubt a worse Parks CEO imo. But he’s a good Disney CEO. Arguably the best. I say that Begrudgingly.

Well I would say the best was Walt followed by Wells and Eisner.
Chapek and Ron Miller are both hard to judge because of so many unique situations. But neither would be on top of the list.
Eisner alone vs. Iger…. That’s a tough one.

Just got back from WDW , my wife and I took the raft over to TSI, once we had walked around we pulled up two chairs and sat in the sun overlooking to dock of Liberty bell , sat and both agreed , removing this water way for a car’s attraction is a crazy idea ,I get this part of the park isn’t everyone’s favorite part, but when all is mad busy gives you time to chill and remove yourself from the crowds , take stock , and get back into your magical day, but we are in our 50’s so prob the minority here, even if the island goes, Libery bell is just so lovely, my mum loved to trip around the ROA, that was her chill time, removing this is IMHO is not good imagineering , Walt bought all this land so future CEO’s can use it and expand,I’d like to take mr Igor and sit him inside ‘’one man’s dream ‘’ because packing all this in one park along with villains seems strange to me. We still had a great 10 nights. But wish they would leave ROA alone .

IMO, Mr Iger will never to add a 5th park at WDW ,for me personally he will be remembered for adding IP , when the great minds in imaginnering were steered to greatness and could design attractions like E.E, TTBAG, Splash, Space, BTM. that’s all non IP, Pandora is my favourite IP, and I get it IP gets the crowds in , and when done well can be amazing, and more people mean more money, and so on and so on, but have a mix, now it all driven by franchises , even Walt added IP, but seems to be getting more rarer these days. We as fans I’m sure will look to the new leaders to drive success , expansion , and value , hard job I’m sure, and not one I’d like . But here’s hoping

Even ignoring the parks, Iger has done things like buy FOX for no reason, abandon hand-drawn animation like Eisner did, basically abandon the Muppets, repeatedly get Disney bad publicity, released tons of live action remakes, let the company shed its family-friendly image in favor of the cold money-hungry "buy everything" image it has today... there's probably other things I'm forgetting at the moment.
I would not call him a good CEO.

All things (except Fox) that Disney was inevitably on the road to doing. Iger didn’t invent any of that — but he did weather it.
I’m grading him on a CEO-basis, not a Disney-basis. He’s a good CEO. Just not the CEO I want for what I want to see from the company.

how did he buy fox for no reason I think one of the main points was to get the x-men and fantastic 4 back

He did not basically abandon the muppets either he’s giving them plenty of movies and shows over the last 15 years weather or not you think they are good or well received is another matter

People view it as a waste due to other than the Marvel IP, they haven't done much with it. Add that many seem to be against adding any adult oriented Fox IP to the parks or D+.

I’m one of those people. The word Disney and Deadpool should never go together.
It would be like Disney having a “Kids” meet and greet in the parks during the Eisner era.

So alien encounter was okay but censored Deadpool isn’t?

Yes because Disney would have had no bad publicity if Eisner had stayed
