Time for the war to begin.

With Universal's purchase of an additional 100 acres, they now have enough land for 2 more gates, a new City Walk and more hotels. They will go ahead with this soon, so Disney must act now. Universal is serious about equalling what Disney currently has so the only way to keep it's lead is for Disney to start an all-out war.

Disney should buy Seaworld, build a 5th gate based on villans and add scare zones for Holloween and of course more hotel rooms. They need to do this now and not wait for Universals move. SeaWorld could be used both as an extra thing to do for people visiting WDW and Southern California and while also working as a regional park operator. It would be a win win for Disney and Seaworld.

Disney still has a major lead and can't afford to let Universal continue to gain on them. Taking these steps would not only add gates but go after Universal on their Halloween Horror nights without hurting the current Not so scary Halloween Party. The time is now for the real war to begin.

Disney thinks their upcoming 2 Star Wars rides is a big addition. I don't expect anything bigger out of them.

You're thinking of the old TWDC who thought in the long-term.

They are acting now, what do you think Star Wars Land, Toy Story Land, Hollywood Studios makeover and Epcot’s makeover are? They are building more hotels, Star Wars Resort, Disney’s Riviera and Swan & Dolphin is expanding amongst other expansions. Disney will never buy SeaWorld since the park is a PR nightmare and the quality is not anywhere near Disney’s standards. And a villain park won’t happen, the theme is too limited, a land at Magic Kingdom or Hollywood Studios would work though. Disney’s Halloween parties are aimed at families with children whereas Universal’s are aimed at teenagers and adults, completely different demographic. Disneyland Paris tried an adult event but the Walt Disney Company wasn’t happy about it.

Another park, 3-4 resort hotels, Citywalk2 and something else are currently guaranteed.

Fun times. Economy and world events allowing.

Ya tom morris was the one who was involved in creating the turn table for imagination!

They need to build some different stuff if they really want to compete. Enough action movies and simulators already.

It's never going to happen with this management team who are more concerned with positioning Disney as a 'growth stock' than actually GROWING the business.

Eisner took a TINY WDP and grew it organically over 800%, The so called 'rockstar ceo' Iger has managed to grow TWDC 70%.

He did manage to triple the stock price though by spending every spare dime on share repurchases.

Let me put it another way. MARVEL and Lucasfilm COMBINED cost less than what Disney will spend this year on share buybacks. Or SDL could have been built for 2/3'rds of this years share buyback program.

Disney HAS enough money to do whatever they want but the priorities are warped because Disney is managing the stock price while down the road the other park is managing the business. And there is a big difference between the two.

Just imagine where Disney would be if it managed the business.

They could have bought Sony and Dreamworks when they were in crisis making the Studio business an even larger powerhouse

They could have bought Netflix when it was in trouble a couple of years ago

Instead they bought back their stock
