    The rich keep getting richer, Bob finding more ways to pad the ole bank account. How much exactly is Bob worth thanks to his profit making schemes and price gouging Disney fans? Anyone is free to Google it…
    For example: Disney CEO Bob Chapek and his predecessor Bob Iger more than doubled their salaries in 2021. Chapek earned $32.5 million, while Iger took home $45.9 million. And, Chapek received a base salary of $2.5 million, stock and option awards valued at nearly $14 million and other compensation, including a change in the value of his pension, worth $1.7 million, according to the filing.
    All that is personal earnings, not what the company absorbs. It’s funny how they doubled their salaries when the parks were shut down for so many months due to covid and no parks were pulling in revenue. Price gouging at the finest. Eliminate the dining plans and jack up food prices. Eliminate free resort parking and start charging $25 a day to park your vehicle in a parking lot long since paid for. And then the biggest ripoff of all, Genie+ and Lightning Lane to replace the free Fast Pass system that worked. All this without a reduction in resort or park prices. In fact, all those prices went up as well and there was a recent article that the multi-day tickets will no longer be discounted as much as they were. Bob is surely in line with the Biden Build Back Better plan that has proven to be a failure to this country. Likewise, ole Bob is a failure to Disney and all of us that are Disney families. But, he is the rich that’s getting richer. Think he, or anyone else on that board, gives two spits about any of us? No! He’s set for the rest of his life, his kids are set for the rest of their lives, his grandkids are set for life as well. And all from our dollars and because of our love of Disney. Read comments on almost every article, Disney is losing its fan base, it’s family based guests, hundreds, probably thousands, of people are canceling their planned Disney vacations, us being one of those families. We took a fraction of what that trip was costing us and bought season passes to Dollywood in Tennessee and can go any time we want for the entire year, get free parking and discounts on food and merchandise. It’s unfortunate that it’s not Mickey Mouse, but, we can still enjoy some good wholesome affordable family fun. Until Disney gets their act together they won’t be making any more money from us.
