    Disney Stock News & Earnings

    I find the article from The Street to be poorly written. It makes several assumptions but never talked to anyone. For example, "That's why you hardly heard a complaint when the company turned its FastPass+ -- something that visitors to its Florida Parks got for free -- into Genie, a paid...

    Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

    I got the email around 11:38, my FP's disappeared this morning, I'm not sure if the chicken or the egg came first as I was working and not watching my personal email / MDE close enough. One of only two ADR's just disappeared moments ago. I think they did a mass wipe of FP's but are doing ADR's...

    Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

    My sweet Mickey, I am gone a couple hours to eat dinner and watch some Mandalorian and now you people have closed every ride in all 4 parks! New theory: Remy is a Bob.

    Seriously, if they're ever going to unfreeze Walt, now is the time!

    Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

    That is part of the reason I'm holding off. It is unlikely we'll be able to go next year between kids' school, work, and an extended family vacation elsewhere, but it could be worth at least seeing what the offer is.

    Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

    FWIW, I cancelled a 2-night stay for mid-July on Wed. night. Didn't receive a cancellation email, but the money was refunded to the gift card I used by Thur. morning. We also have an 8-night stay starting July 17th. I'm on team no mask, but it's a game of chicken for me as to whether they...

    Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

    Bob: They're talking about the masks on DISBOARDS again. Other Bob: They're really going to freak when we lower the age from 3 to 2. Jeff: I think I can get them to ignore that. Josh: You're the new guy, you're nuts, no way you can do that! Jeff: Hold my :drinking1!

    Iger Retirement In Hindsight

    As I was reading through this thread I was planning on making the same point about the "Executive Chairman" title. And also point out that the statement about Chapek not being a board member didn't age well. 🤣 I think it is an important distinction that he didn't take the CEO title back, and...

    Disney reaffirms July dividend and executive pay

    The title of this thread is very misleading. Nowhere in the article is there a definitive statement about bonuses or the July dividend. The July 2019 dividend was not announced until late June last year. So by that count Disney still has two months to make that decision.

    Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

    As a general business rule this is the case, but at this point Disney, and potentially other businesses may need to run at an operating loss. As long as they are covering their variable operating costs and eating away at fixed costs it is better than just burning fixed costs.

    Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

    Personally speaking, we have a trip planned mid/late July. I hope it happens, and if the parks are open we will likely go. If it is a "limited" experience we would evaluate exactly what that means. We would have to weigh what is open vs. what discounts are being offered. As with many people...

    Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

    I've read or skimmed almost every post. Lots of opinions, and I will add my $.02, broken into two posts, so $.04 if you will. I personally don't think Disney is at a high risk of bankruptcy. I think it is likely that revenue will start picking up as summer hits. Operationally speaking, I...

    Annual Passholder Previews REGISTRATION LINK IN FIRST POST-EVENT FULLY BOOKED

    I actually received the registration email and could have booked a spot, but unfortunately my AP expires a week before. 😢 :eeyore: We are not renewing, so I didn't actually register. Big congrats to all those who were able to get in, ENJOY IT and let us all know how it is!:chewy:

    Multiple Discount Question (TiW/DVC) for Big Group

    I will echo the above that your plan should work. We actually had a waiter at Chef Mickey's even apply our AP discount to a separate check that we weren't even paying as we were already paying for 19 of a 22 person party with our TiW cards (we got the additional card for my DW so that we could...

    TABLES IN WONDERLAND - are my calculations correct?

    Tax is calculated AFTER the discount is taken, but you are right that the gratuity is calculated before the discount is taken. One thing I don't see you considering, many restaurants offer a 10% AP discount, so you should really factor that into your "Not Using TIW" calculations depending on...

    New AP Holder

    Welcome to the club! I'm not sure if there is a specific board, but my quick two cents, carry your passholder card and ID at all times in the park and ask EVERYWHERE if they have a discount. Most places do, and if not, you don't lose anything by asking. Enjoy!
