Both CEOs made errors that resulted in monetary loss, and guest loyalty. That being said, it must not be forgotten that there are others such as CFO McCarthy, too, plus board members who weighed in on and or made errors as well that were costly in monetary, loyalty of guests, and brand damaging.
The first step to clean up the House of Mouse is to sell.of and or license all FOX content, tv, movies, etc. Then sell off Hulu, and ESPN. Then shut down Disney+ and incorporate only the best shows from the streaming service into Disney Channel, Disney Junior, and network tv, ABC.Disney also should sell.off NatGeo, and other channels as well. Disney should concentrate on theatrical releases, and promoting them.
The remaining Disney Stores should be shut down. ShopDisney.com should be re evaluated as to its necessity, product offering, and value.
Go back to the core Disney once was and build up from there. Thats the studio side od it, tv and film.
Now the parks side there are a lot more considerations/conversations to be had. The parks like Marvel and Star Wars brands have been damaged.
For the parks, (USA based only) the first thing to go. The reservation park system. Then Genie+. Then lower pricing on Halloween and Christmas Parties,by expanding the availability of dates.
Put an immediate stop to all resort contruction, and retrofit. Step back and consider the themeing, not the cheapening, the themeing…Imagineers are you listening?….If cheapening is the way then go work at Six Flags.
Reset parks and resorts standards. On stage presence…No beards, no tattoos, no piercings, no nail polish, etc….And attitudes. If cast members arent happy to be working, then they will make the giest feel unhappy. Cast members with uninterested and rotten attitudes go apply at the traveling carnivals, yes be a carney.
Cast members from hourly to CEO should exhibit a well rounded knowledge of Disney history as well.
Cleanliness of the resort rooms.top priority. A quick turn over for a room.results in poor esthetic and on stage prescence.
Stop making existing parks into Six Flags roller coaster parks. There is a reason for Six Flags, they are roller coasters, Disney is not that type of park. Dont try to compete, because there is no competition.
Dittos for everything ESPECIALLY GROOMING GUIDELINES (except the stores). But this will never happen as I believe Bob Iger wants to position Disney into a position ripe for takeover. After all that is his specialty and all he cares about. I could turn this company around – its that easy! In addition, he is completely in line with the ESG system and having elite world leaders who dine on the finest of the finest as they fly their private jets into Davos – -and they want the rest of us to eat bugs. Dump Iger I have been saying this for 10 years Dump Iger stop pissing off the majority of your guests get back to basics. The one thing I am not thrilled about is shutting all the Disney stores. I worked for them. I cannot tell you how much product and good will plus advertising these offered. Ambassadorship! Problem is greed entered in as usual with Disney and they were deemed not profitable after making more money than God. Problem is over saturation of product everywhere and its crap. Anyone who says Disney was not built for families is full of it. Walt conceived the idea in a run down amusement park he took his daughters to – that adults like it – is bonus. Oh and stay the hell out of controversial politics. Lastly did I mention IGER really really really and completely sucks!
You believe that getting rid of Dis+ (along with the rest you mentioned) is the new way forward for Disney? Interesting thought.
As for for a theatrical releases, wouldnt you be concerned about the cord cutters and lack of attendance at theaters? How would distribution be accomplished without Dis+ in that?
The rest of this general makes pretty good sense to me.
Honestly I experienced such a cheap experience my last visit to Disneyland I decided to give other theme parks a try I bought season passes to six flags they have really upped their game. Six flags has gourmet food, special festivals with decorative overlay it’s beautiful my kids are 9 and 12 they love the fast rollercoasters especially Ninja. We can wait to go back to Magic Mountain and float in the lazy river after doing the rides.
I’ve understood how Chapek was taking the heat and Iger was expected to bring it back. Almost every policy Chapek was overseeing had been implemented by Iger before he stepped down.
I despised Paycheck for HIS decisions…to keep what Iger started. This is just one reason Paycheck fell. Iger now has the option to reverse many of the changes made under Paycheck, but has he? Nope! Nothing that guests really want anyway.
Guest want the AP’s brought back.
Guests want the Magical Express brought back.
Guests want Genie+ gone.
Guests want fastpasses brought back.
Guests want the reservation system gone.
Guests want the dining plans brought back.
These are just a few, but remember, Disney IS listening?. Yeah, I’m not so sure.
