Bob Iger stepping down as Disney CEO - effective immediately | |
Freckle Face User ID: 53124077 United States 02/25/2020 06:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | One of my friends is leaving on Friday this week for a family vacation with her spouse and kids. First half of the trip to be spent at the different theme parks, then second half of their trip will be spent on a cruise ship. She was so excited about it today, been saving money for a long time for a great vacation and it’s all paid off. Now she is just doing the whole countdown “three days to go” thing. Quoting: Freckle Face I was shocked and couldn’t believe my ears. I asked her if she was worried about the coronavirus, especially with the big crowds at the parks and close quarters on the ship? She responded quickly by saying, “Oh you’re funny! Don’t you know that’s fake news? Really, it’s all been debunked, that’s only affecting a small percentage of people overseas. She just grinned and giggled. So I did too. Wow. Thanks a lot CDC. Doom on. Sad but a lot of people i know are finally getting their dream vacations or dream jobs with out of town training. I just reminded everybody today that TSA has new procedures in place for screening so make sure they dont cough or run even a degree of temperature because they can be put under investigation for the virus. I am not trying to scare them but want them aware. Crazy times we’re living in. |

At some point the citizens will find out what these super wealthy "elite" have done and they feel much more secure on a smallish island where everyone but their security is disarmed.

Quoting: nythinker I literally just posted in one of the Corona threads if Disney Parks close then it's gotten real! This is pretty close Disney Shanghai and Hong Kong still haven’t opened back up. Expect news on Disney Tokyo this week or next. People are probably bailing on Disney Cruises. The Chinese are the biggest vacationers, so Disney Los Angeles and Disney Orlando are probably seeing huge drop-offs. Disney is about to tank on their biggest sector...parks and resorts. Their three-legged stool is about to lose a leg. The virus has already been a major hit on a Disney, and we're nowhere close to that story ending. They are not going to be able to stock the pro with sellable stuff as it’s all Chinese huge losses coming of this continues. It’s already a germ fest there |

Quoting: Larphillips Disney is about to tank on their biggest sector...parks and resorts. Their three-legged stool is about to lose a leg. The virus has already been a major hit on a Disney, and we're nowhere close to that story ending. A glance at the typical demographics of customers in those theme parks in the US on any given day indicate Chinese still represent a fairly small percentage of total visitors. However, other tourist spots in both America and Europe for the past few years have become increasingly dependent on visitors from China. I believe there's another Disney park in Japan and it's considered a cash cow. But if the dynamics of Covid-19 and Wuhan start repeating in Japan, whoa. In turn, if that starts happening in America, oh-oh. Even hurricanes and earthquakes haven't affected the Disney Co's US-based parks for more than a few days, if even that. . |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 75131813 United States 02/25/2020 08:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Iger has been trying to retire for about ten years now and at the request of the Board has continued to put it off. And he is not going far since his replacement will report directly to him instead of the BOD as is normal. Iger explained it is for better continuity and a smooth transition. He will be concentrating on Disney’s entertainment branch as in the artistic arm like movies and the new streaming behemoth Disney recently created instead of the theme parks and marketing aspect, and the artistic end has always been his strong suit. I see him finally stepping down in 2024 once he has established a strong direction for the streaming branch and the big screen division, expect a large barrage of new content programming on the streaming side with a healthy dose of traditional Disney classic to back it up, all content that will be unavailable any where else. On the big screen side, I see Iger pushing for the more traditional family oriented original animated classics that has largely fueled Disney’s success. |

Either a Weinstein/ Epstein / Prince Andrew pedo link or bugging out with his family to someplace safe. Quoting: SmoothSailing They certainly are the ONES to watch!
