Given the wording of, 'this holiday season', it seems like they are ready to open as soon as this weekend.

Yeah, I’m a fan of them not giving the official date of reopening. Just have ‘Lilly Belle’ or ‘Roy O. Disney’ sitting at Main Street U.S.A. at rope drop one day ready to greet the first guests in 4 years.

Trying not to get too excited but I hope the train is ready by the 2nd week of January! Sounds like it will be.

Yep. Also received an AP Survey and gave them a piece of my mind with the changes in the last couple of years. I hope they're listening to us!

It appears to come form "Bob Iger" directly. It more likely came from his assistant, but it looks like it comes from Bob.

Not "Disney Destinations" or WDW.... anything.... specifically BOB IGER? If so, I searched my inbox, junk, deleted and deleted deleted and don't see anything. I guess I'm not that special.... ha ha....

For those that may not have gotten the email sent to D23 members:

As we approach the end of 2022, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to the biggest Disney fans in the world – all of you.

Disney is fortunate to have the most devoted and enthusiastic fans, and I was reminded of this a few weeks ago when I visited Disneyland Resort and attended the Candlelight Processional. It was invigorating to be surrounded by so many guests who make what we do possible. We love your passion for our company and your enthusiasm for what we create, and we will continue to do our best to exceed your highest expectations.

As you know, next year Disney will mark its 100th anniversary. We are immeasurably grateful to the generations of fans all around the globe who have invited our stories and characters into their lives, and we look forward to celebrating the groundbreaking moments, the cherished memories, and the creative visionaries that made Disney the most beloved name in entertainment over the past century.
During the coming year, D23 will launch a slate of exciting events to mark this historic milestone. More information can be found here.

Looking at all the opportunities ahead, I can honestly say there has never been a better time to be a Disney fan. It is an extraordinary privilege to lead this remarkable company again, and I am so grateful for your continued passion for Disney. On behalf of all of us at The Walt Disney Company, I wish you a wonderful holiday season and a very happy and prosperous New Year.

Best,

Bob Iger

When you click on Bob Iger’s email it comes up as this: Bob.Iger@twdc.com

DH asked me if this was Bob‘s real email address and would he write you back if you emailed a reply to him. I said doubtful but I am sure some would try.

 

[Chernabob]

Did anyone else get a Holiday email from Bob Iger thanking them?

Yep, I got one too. I'm just a member of the free D23 tier.

I also considered replying back, mainly out of curiosity! Maybe I should add him to my Christmas card list...
