Iger acknowledged that it has been a challenging time for everyone involved. He also stated that there is “a lot to do… and quickly.”

He also spoke about how Disney’s streaming business, Disney+, must shift its focus from just adding subscribers to actually making the business profitable.

As far as the Park Pass Systems at Disney Parks- Iger hasn’t used any of them but confirmed that they aren’t going away anytime soon.

Bob Iger has done more than his fair share of acquiring new companies and businesses for Disney. However, in today’s Town Hall Meeting, he made it clear that he has no intention of pursuing any major acquisitions in the near future, adding he’s comfortable with Disney’s current set of assets.

Iger alone was able to acquire Pixar, 20th Century Fox, Lucasfilm, and more during his 15 years as Disney’s CEO from 2005 to 2020.

At one point, Iger did joke that his wife, Willow Bay, told him he should run the Walt Disney Company again. That way, he wouldn’t run for President of the United States.
