My whole point is that Disney has a larger stake then most in the viability of the Bahamas, the donation is about the same they did for Harvey, a place where Disney has limited financial interest nor any new upcoming multi million dollar projects. Disney after all Donated 5 million to the restoration of Notre Dam a place where they have zero financial incentive. I am not questioning that Disney does alot of Donating, I am pointing out the fact that 1 million makes little difference in a place that Disney is using to make profit. Call me cynical if you want but from a business standpoint donating more money now might make larger financial sense then spending more in the future if things in the Bahammas dont recover fast enough for the Lighthouse Point project that is going to require alot of already agreed to Bahammian Labor for building and staffing.

Dorian?
Based on $59.43B revenue in 2018, Disney makes $1M every 8.8 minutes. If a person making $100K per year gave the same percentage of their personal income, it would be $1.67. If that person wanted to give 1 percent or $1K to charity, at $1.67 a pop he could give to almost 600 different charities. I’m sure Disney gives lots of money and does lots of wonderful things for many different charities, but they could probably stand to give more to a place where they are directly invested.it's definitely hard to look at any sum of money in a vacuum and say "that isn't enough" - but I definitely get your point that that in comparison to Harvey or Notre Dame there are certainly reasons for making a larger donation in this location vs the same or less

They use the Port of Galveston quite a bit and with the new ships being added you may see year round use of Galveston by the older ships in the fleet.
Disneyland Paris and the movie Hunchback of Notre Dame does give an a financial incentive to donate to the cathedral's restoration.
