Bob Iger Can’t Save Disney. Sell DIS Stock Now.
DIS stock is facing huge problems, and so far its CEO's solutions have not been radical enough to right the ship.investorplace.com
The article is only looking at the symptoms and not the disease. The people infesting their Burbank HQ are the problem. They're so caught up their echo chamber of egos, that they don't even realize that they are just pouring more gasoline on the dumpster fire that they started.
Let them fail. They don't understand or respect their customers or guests or even IP that they own or purchased.

This is what, the 30th consecutive year of price hikes and "the sky is falling" doom and gloom predictions that Disney has finally, FINALLY, gone too far?
Dont give Disney any celebrations ideas.

No. Just a reference to general Disney internet fandom.

Oh there's no doubt that the minions have disassociated themselves from reality into their own groupthink, what the company is missing is a leader, not just another caretaker. Someone to make those unpopular decisions and clean the house of those petty empire builders. They may have been separate entities with their own cultures, but in the long term they have to toe the company line.

They ever lose attendance in a non-recession before?
The current management - who almost loathe the parks beyond the cash register - believe there are no price ceilings
There are ALWAYS price ceilings

I think these “smaller” price changes are actually to avoid more significant price increases in day tickets as they’ve hit a major price ceiling. Stop making it difficult to get into the park, and then force them to buy higher priced items inside… the SeaWorld way!

Concerning WDW, it's classic "management from afar" and rarely works.

We stopped renewing our APs when reservations were required. We now take a vacation every year instead and never looked back.
Our UAPs are much more affordable, and get renewal discounts. SeaWorld passes are also great.

Bob: "We need more revenue, what can we do?"
Recent college graduate with a fresh MBA: "Raise prices on AP's. Our charts indicate that those chumps will always give us more of their money!"
Bob: "Yes! Why didn't I think of that? Those things are cheap compared with my super yacht, so it's not too expensive. And since it's passholders, we won't look like we're nickel-and-diming the regular rubes. By the way, did all the menus get updated with the food and bev price increases?"

Well, we already had decided to not renew, but now I just canceled the trip scheduled for 10 days from now and the January trip as well. 1400+ 
is way too much to renew park tickets when they also charge to ride anything. We had thought we would try to get a couple trips in before expiration but may as well just be done with them now. We had some great times there, although it has been awhile since we felt it was worth it for AP's. I might still check in here now and then as I enjoy hearing everyones thoughts and it has been a fun site to be part of.

The choice was:
A: Reverse course and implement a pricing structure that will attract a broader segment of guests which will lead to an increased number of guests visiting and a more positive view of the company. This likely will also in turn boost overall guest spending on property.
B: Double down on the maximizing of per guest revenue extraction strategy, even though this may exacerbate current sluggish attendance and further damage the company image in legacy media and on social media.

So because they're raising prices, you aren't going to partake in the pass you currently have (including two planned trips, one in ten days no less)? That makes no sense.
