Yeah. I don’t get this talk. Of all of the Pavilions, Mexico is the last one that needs anything done to it - it’s the New Orleans Square of World Showcase pavilions. The restaurant and the tequila bar make bank and not sure they’d offset that lost income with LL revenue with a new D or E ticket

Thanks for your input and correction. When was the last massive Disney layoff that was branded with a dystopian label?

I don’t see the same company that cut off the ability for smaller theaters to host repertory screenings of older 20th Century Fox films doing that

And Iger never gave a big RIF a pithy nickname like “Project Believe” as if this was some new innovative initiative within Pixar or Parks/DCL. At least people are waking up to the fact everything is performative with him.

I am glad someone posted this. This man is the poster child for dispensable, replaceable executives that ride up the ladder in leader and management positions no matter the core competency of the company. P&G? Outside consulting for pharma and private equity? You too can eventually become a...

The Fifth Gate is being built…in Fortnite. And it will be a massive and colossal waste of money that would have been better spent giving some TLC to their physics parks.

Fair enough. It had never occurred to us to rent a car until DME went away. Pricing out Ubers or the Sunshine express to/from the airport, renting a car is usually a wash depending on length of stay.

I told my wife yesterday that if we find ourselves using a bus at WDW I’ve failed in my vacation and logistical planning. -Signed, a dad that infrequently drinks and has relented to renting a car when visiting the parks and usually books hotel reservations/DVC based on which parks were...

Harder or Iger? That’s what’s curious about this. Usually it’s Harder representing someone against larger media conglomerates. The fact he’s doing so for Disney/Iger is a curious one.

Charles Harder is a very good media lawyer. Possibly one of the best. But he’s often adversarial to big media companies. More often than not you would expect him to be against Disney than aligned with them. There are some other dynamics at play here which are quite interesting.

Uh oh.

Firing swaths of CMs is one of Josh’s core competencies. Please stop being surprised he keeps doing it, and don’t buy into the performative empathy for how he “cares.” Wait until he supercharges this with AI and the labor contract negotiations next year.

You’ve said earlier that you stay at the Wyndham, which has its own shuttle services to the parks. Sincere question: why don’t you use that transportation offering instead?

You keep making these broad statements that are unknown to anyone that doesn’t work for Disney.

Few, but in all the times I’ve been to DS I’ve never spent less than 3 hours there. The moment you start charging for parking - which they cannot do under the current rules - it disincentivizes potential customers. Again, it’s still unclear to me how having a few routes of the transportation...
