The sudden slide mere days after news about Galactic Starcruiser, and the worries that heads were going to roll soon because of it?
The timing defies coincidence.
Guess it’s time to bring back some more of the Magic that’s expected from disney!!! They hiked the prices & minimized what you got… we’re still holding out till that returns.. so good news seems like they might start to listen
Disney is not the nfl
How many times have I said in over a 3-year. That we need to get rid of Bob chapek he smells he's ugly he looks like an orangutan's grandson and has the feet of an elephant get somebody in there that can run the company for the guests and the fans that's all have a nice day and if you go to the zoo no feeding chapek bananas
Our poor Chapek………. What is up with the hate……. Tom would miss his best buddy if Chapek left WDW……. WDWNT has to start a save the Chapek campaign. We need to rally to save him……. Do the right thing.
Happy birthday, Eric!
It's almost like if you continue to increase prices while lowering the overall quality of guest experience, you lose guests. Super weird how that works. People want an idyllic family experience at the parks, with Disney+ etc…they aren't getting it. We just see prices going up and not seeing any value for that price increase. It's turning people off. Fix it. Fire Chapek.
Simple; go woke, go broke. My family is done with Mickey Mouse.
chapek is seriously living on another planet lol how delusional can someone be??
i listened to an interview with Abigail Disney today and i love her. SHE would make a great Disney CEO
The"magic" is dead. Greed took care of that.
Disney stock tanking… for a day. Chapek's never going to get fired is he?
The crazy entrance price doesn’t encourage people to go. The parking prices are ridiculous when you consider your going to there park.I don’t know how people afford it know.
To all who come to this happy place; welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past…and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams and the hard facts that have created America…with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world.
Mr Disney was a dreamer, he gave us so much. A place to experience his dreams with our family. We shared his vison, his love and his view of the world. In turn we would make our own memories, create stories and encase our families in his vision.
Now we have lost all that, with rocket high prices, the removal of OUR fun rides because it is deemed “offensive”. The lack of maintenance makes the old magic look broken, or even inaccessible. Uncle Walt’s vison is replaced with greed, making the park a heartless husk of its formal glory. The competition is kicking at the door of the main street castle and it stealing the king’s throne and the entire kingdom.
The public will seek other ways to make memories that Disney used to excel so easy at. It is a terrible dried up hunk of its former self. I am saddened to see to state of this magical place dethroned of its glory. There is little happiness left for us now, at the happiest place on earth
Chapek is getting what he deserved
Because he's been a big bully to animation fans and Walt Disney's history
Disney is sucking more now than ever before. So disappointing. They care nothing for poor children.
The CEO Disney should definitely be fired he should definitely not be able to run a company like this ever again and all of his money should be stripped from him
It always baffles me that they can say with a straight face that they’ve made “record breaking profits” when it’s only because they started charging more for the same products.
Used car salesman Chapek has deserved to be canned for months now he has systematically removed any sense of magic and fun from his parks by choosing to nickel on dime the customers time and again. Bottom line, Disney has lost a lot of luster in the past 2 years and it all comes back to Chapeks antics. Stalled projects, extra charges, taking away perks for resort guests, sneaky price increases, and now hiring freezes when the parks are overcrowded.
Been calling since he was hired to do the job. He is a cheapskate, money grabber.
Under performance of parks my ass, they are full everyday. And cost so much no one can afford it.
People like Kathleen Kennedy are responsible for destroying an automatic cash printing franchise like Star Wars and yet no one calls for her removal. A definite sign that she knows where all the bodies are buried in Disney and Hollywood in general. No one is calling for her firing?
How about who ever leads Marvel? Phase 4 has been a disaster and nothing in their future looks bright.
The parks are riddled with complaints about Genie, skyrocketing prices, the reservation system, and no one is doing anything about it. Quality and cleanliness has gone down at all the parks not to mention the quality of the guests…
Bob Chapek. The China Joe Biden of Desperateland
Disney+ will be sold off to netflix by June of next year… you heard it here first!
You guys are absurd to blame Chapek for the downed stock. The country has printed trillions of dollars and let them loose with zero return value. The ingredients for economic collapse. Not to mention skyrocketing interest rates from illegal fed, and the fact that many folks still vote for "free" money even though there is no such thing. And these people who are for communism are not even at the beginning of education on how to survive well without stealing.
Fire Chapek and Make Disney Magical Again!!!
As a person who had to work 3 jobs to afford everyday bills PLUS a trip to Disney for 3 people, I think if they made it more affordable to book the vacation, more people would come out and also spend money in the parks. I was just there in Sept and didn't really buy any souvenirs. The hotel and park passes alone (no park hopper, no memory maker) was about 3K. I know this is unpopular opinion, but the reservation system could be beneficial. Instead of increasing the number of the guests in the park (longer wait times, more congestion and madness), drop it down a little so people enjoy themselves more (decreased wait times, more fun with family, less whiny kids). Good mood means happiness, and happiness means potential sales, and that people are more likely to come back.
Oh Disney unfortunately I feel like is going to go down it’s just not what it once was it was magical had the perks that you couldn’t get anywhere else and it’s not like that anymore it’s just gonna take people not returning and some years for that to be evident but it will happen
Fire him!! Get someone, who won’t back down to the woke mob
Get woke, go broke!
Just let Bob deal with Florida transition from self government to dealing with local, state governments now. Once those losses are dealt with a new CEO can be hired.
Price hikes NOT the problem at Disneyland. It's the hoards of locals who bought way too cheap Magic Key passes, that are clogging up and ruining the park experience and chasing away the tourists!
The idiots currently running Disney need to double the price of Magic Keys immediately! They do NOT need to keep raising daily ticket prices.
If the locals go back to regular crowd size- pre covid size… problem solved. The only way that happens is if Disney doubles the cost of the Magic Keys. Otherwise, the so Cal Disney parks will continue to fall apart and hemorrhage money.
Why? Because the new post covid locals are destroying the parks, and don't have money to spend at the parks! They use the parks as cheap weekly entertainment and a place to hook up with their local neighborhood pals. What's happening at the parks is so evidently clear, it's almost laughable, if it wasn't so sad. LOL!
Boycott the parks
Disney needs to sell off 20th Century Studios
Chapek as well as board needs to be fired! However boycotting the parks will also get the message across, maybe holding out a year is a bit much for folks, however a one or two days a week or one week! People are the power, not corporations! Corporations only have the power when people give into them! Simply Boycott Disney Parks for as long as possible, a week a year however it needs to be massive! Plus share holders need to call for Chapek’s & the boards head, however careful about the “Woke Agenda” class waiting in the wings
FIRE CHAPEK!!
❌The Disney BRAND has been DAMAGED.❌ I have a pricey DOONEY & BURKE Disney bag & I WILL NOT USE IT!! I do not want to support/display Disney IN ANY WAY right now! (So NO NEW Dooney Disney purchases either!) Disney decision makers have BROKEN THE MAGIC & don’t seem to care (at all!)
🌟Will SOMEbody please uphold WALT’S Dream?!🌟
Guests want to feel like WELCOMED GUESTS, not tolerated data points valued only for maximum $ spend ( !!! )
