Ahh, but the economics of it! DVC is a money stream, hard to interrupt or disrupt due to signed contracts. While I don't have the quarterly results in front of me to give specific numbers, yet common sense says Disney will build DVC anywhere and everywhere for the financial support of...

As new hotel rooms on property are built to the Marriott standard, look like Marriott, avoiding costly theming (see new Polynesian bldg) will have an effect on people staying there.

Has anyone found a second source for this tail of woe? Perhaps a similar tale of denied DAS services leading to unintended consequences?

Alligators in Seven Seas Lagoon rarely attack people, until one did. And now there are fences on all beaches. How long until fences go up along running trails? Chain link, 7ft tall, to keep nature away from people. Will it take the loss of another small child, or will Disney be more proactive...

Individual Lightning Lane Pass to Ocala National Forest works. Who would have guessed the line meant climbing trees?

Sort of like "Andy's coming!"

So Disney picks up 15 million subscribers for Disney+ which appears as 15 million reasons to get a deal done. Disney+ is saved! Hallelujah! Well, we dropped a few channels, but did you hear? We saved Disney!

Looking at my Disney DVD collection of movies covering the 70 years of classics, from 20,000 Leagues to Pirates makes me very happy that these great films are mine to watch at any time. Share with the family too. Make a movie night of Pollyanna and or Old Yeller. Do not depend on streaming...

Wonder how much growth in Consumer Products came as a result of getting rid of brick and mortar stores in malls and moving onto an end cap in Target? How much of the product sales come through the web? The shopping thread on this site has many wonderful things to buy, from Disney and other...

Bring back the Birnbaum books! https://books.disney.com/book/birnbaums-2023-walt-disney-world/

That is certainly one way to view the post. Another way is to recognize that Harrison Ford brought a great deal of acting ability to make Indiana Jones his own. That merely substituting a brunette English actess while changing other parts of the casting while trying to use the same type of...

Just to put meat on the bone: https://www.boxofficemojo.com/daily/ Box Office Mojo shows 'Sound of Freedom' making 14M, where Indiana Jones made 11M. With nearly zero dollar budget the Freedom movie brought in the traditional, Christian, mom and dad. Apparently in a bit of hubris, Disney...

At first reading, TPA was Theme Park Association. But Tampa works better, thanks for clarifying. Fixed that for you.

TWDC was entertainment for the entire family. Over the past 10 years, they worked hard in movies to redefine the concept, family was given a new definition. In announcements, in the four key values (now 5), in staffing, and in any public facing content the definition was changed. Now, the plan...

Headlines for those like me that do not like to click blind links: Disney stock downgraded over fears of stalling growth in its streaming brands, lower visitor numbers at its theme park KeyBanc analysts lowered Disney’s rating from overweight to sector weight Wednesday, causing its stock price...

You are wrong, Polymer. It is done in less than 4 pages. What is wrong with you? :)

From the previous post by @wabbott : "(c) Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution had made platform distribution decisions based not on consumer preference, consumer behavior, or the desire to maximize the size of the audience for the content as represented, but based on the desire to hide...

Perhaps Mulvaney was not the culture ripping event, but perhaps timing where everything has already bent the knee so Mulvaney was just the last one on, that tipped the boat. Question for Iger, does Disney move forward now by having bubbles appear above characters to identify characteristics so...

Three themes like can't run away from your troubles, don't get involved in someone else's, and laugh at your troubles are problematic and have to be erased from history. Themes from successful movies can be recast with non gender role, new castings, new forms of relationships and given 100's of...
