  1. Santa read my Christmas wish list!
    Now bring back fastpass, all you can dining and middle class people to enjoy the parks too.

    I wish Mr. Iger all the luck in the world. Besides that he’s gonna need lots of everything else to bring back the WDW we know so well.

    Good Riddance!! While Chapek likely maximized shareholder value, Disney’s rep took a hit, exposing Chapek as a pimp whoring Disney out for the most dollars. The reservation system, the non stop price increases , the expensive experiences is the fancy glitter for nothing of value. Chapek cashed out the Disney Magic which was their singular competitive advantage for more money which went against the mission and philosophy . Chapeks’ direction was not Magic which they could have used there in the C-suite and navigated the unprecedented positive environment without turning people off the Disney brand.

    He was just as good at Frump. Both disasters…

    lets hope Iger puts things back like they were and get rid of the confusing, complicated Genie. Go back to the fast pass and three picks. Maybe magic come back too. Its a hope that iger can put a stop to all the fights.

    Thank goodness! Over the last couple years quality of goods and value for the money has greatly decreased! We had just decided that this would be our last Disney vacation. Now we will see what happens with Iger back at it. The idea that by increasing the prices will decrease crowds is NOT what Walt had in mind.

    So, for those that say Iger is responsible for everything that is wrong, may be slightly correct. The thing that you are missing most of this was only implemented under Chapek. Now, does anyone know what Chapek was before his CEO title? He was President of Parks& Resorts and Consumer Products. So, most of the stuff bad was developed on Chapek and then when He became CEO, he green lighted it all. As his minions were in charge of everything there was no issue with implementing. Further he was hired during Eisner’s tenure to help market the Disney Home Entertainment division at the time. Which lead him to a postion in which he needed to leverage IPs for the company. Which is what he continued to do for the remainder of his tenure at Disney. Some good but mostly bad decisions and questionable at best results.

    SWEET. Maybe he’ll bring back realistic prices at the parks and the complimentary Fastpasses.

      Iger is the one who started it…
