    Seems like reasonable insights. Superfans make going to Disney a headache.

      OK Bob… I mean “Rob”.

    I have to agree with Chapek on some of these issues. Before Covid the parks were so crowded it was miserable. We were passholders for decades and decided that we wouldn’t renew because of the locals crowding in the parks. We couldn’t just go anytime and come back another day because it was crowded. It’s a 10 hour drive for us. So I’m glad the locals are being restrained on visits. I really hate the idea of the lightning lane garbage but it’s a limiter too I suppose.

      Locals won’t wait more than 30 minutes. No point, we can come back another time. If you see a wait longer than that, it is all out of state tourist trash. Blame your ilk.

    I agree with Chapek …this is Capitalisms, and they should be able to charge what they can for a trip to Disney. And all the people who can’t make enough to go to Disney, should stop crying about it. Make more money if you don’t like it. If all of us wealthier people have bought the right to be here, tough luck to those who have not. Right?

    The cast members do not like Chapek. The guest do not like Chapek. Even Iger reportedly does not like Chapek saying he made the mistake of his tenure appointing Chapek. Why then does the board give him a three year contract extension. It’s because he is turning profit by riding the wave of post pandemic lockdowns by being a cheapskate bean counter.

    1. Steve

      I don’t even think it is that. The people on the board cannot have received the other positions they have being this shortsighted. Something else is going on and I suspect it is fishing for a buyout.

    Not much I can say on this..

    Chapek doesn’t care about us just his paycheck. He is doing this because the “family from Denver” will spend more $$$ than pass holders. He said this himself.
    One thing I find ironic….
    Free cups of water! Stand inline for a SMALL cup of ice water or buy a BIG water for 5 bucks? I asked for a large cup of water and was told “Free water only comes in small cups”
