It really is Disney’s own fault they’re doing as poorly as they’re doing. Do you ever wonder how it was that Florida for the first time ever was such a red state? We here in Florida love the man. He represents the average person exceptionally well. Bar none he is if not in the top 3 best governors in the US, he is EASILY THE BEST governor in the US!
Dean its like when you love talking about your hero Joe Biden that means you’re gay for joe. Go sit down and enjoy that bud light you got stocked in the fridge You gender confused fairy boy fruit cake.
Janet, I would call you a Karen for your comments on here, but even the woman that is named Karen that is in the comments section has infinitely more sense than yourself. Also, homosexuality is heterophobia, and any argument otherwise proves that the person that has a problem with that being told to themselves is ironically the hate filled bigot themselves.
It’s Disney’s fault. Their ticket prices are ridiculous and not worth the experience. Most families can’t afford it. Now their going to raise ticket prices? They have said their net profits are billions of dollars so why are they laying employees off. Nonsense!
Think people are taking a stand on Disney’s liberal views as a whole. They have completely ruined ESPN with having people of the right color in the right believes per se it is almost unwatchable and thank God there are other options if you are into sports and not a political agenda.
No. Disney has turned totally gay over the past 3-4 years with stupid CEO before they were forced to bringing Iger back to fix it. All true Americans love Desantis
Please post the rights you have lost as a Florida resident.
I hear there is housing available in beautiful California, though you may not be about to afford it.
All Americans don’t love Desantis!! He is a whiny little man and if he can’t handle Disney how is he going to cope with the larger nations? Desantis does okay in Florida however he is not ready or capable of hanging with the big boys.
I hate DeSantis with all my heart and I have a true American. He essentially killed 3 million fullerenes with his Covid policies I’m not lying schools to men take mass businesses to mandate mass businesses mandating vaccinations for their employers 3 million people are dead because of him so shut up stupid!!! Hysterical is a governor and type forbid if he was to be able to get elected as president and go to the White House. You do realize that if he does room for election as president, he will have to be give up being governor for two years
He killed 3 million with his covid policies? Are you serious? I don’t even totally like the man, but that is BS. But if you feel better scared and wearing aask and getting vaxed every other week….I feel really sorry for ya!
Biographies of Hank, Aaron and Roberto Clemente along with 177 other books from a collection of diverse books and tango, makes three a picture book about two male penguins, raising a chick when Wela Randolph plays basketball forever by Judy Blume Booker prize winner is a God of small things by a RUNDHATA, Roy, the bluest eyes by Toni Morrison. All boys aren’t blue by George Johnson. 565 books were banned in Florida I wrote a few examples.
Look up this pastor reading one of the books liberals want put in an elementary school. He reads it in front of a school bird meeting and they could barely stand to hear it. But they want children reading it.
Unfortunately, unless someone like DeSantis takes over at the helm, you are absolutely correct…the Twilight zone horrors we’re living through right now are typical of a socialist/communist agenda being pushed. Opposite what you’ve been told to believe
Desantis is nothing but a robot tool to his wife and not the constituents of Florida. Americans somehow lost their way, because DeSantis is opposite of democracy opposite of freedom opposite that you make your own choices for your own self and your own body will no longer exist. He’s a bigot towards LGBTQ. Hence why this Disney fight has gone this far because Disney stood up for the thousands of employees that feel it is absurd that you can’t use the word gay. He is not the savior for what’s going on right now he is a contributor, he’s a power grab person and he will leave you so fast if you don’t agree with everything that he puts forth cutting teachers pay there’s a laundry list
Trust me when I say you are talking to a bunch of walls. Most of these people don’t care about anybody freedom but their OWN. They are convinced that their decisions and way of life is and should be the ONLY way of life. The only way to overcome is to fight them with their own systems put in place. Most of these people are use to their faces being on the wall of perfection so don’t expect them to change or ever imagine a space on that wall for ANY face that doesn’t look like their face. They already feel like the world revolves around them. They aren’t the reasoning types which is why you have to just knock their pictures off the wall and create/take that space you need. These are the very people that make this world a you oR me type of world. Yet, when they are in need they could care LESS how different your face is to their face. They’d rather continue to make others suffer rather than to see us all live our lives in bliss as a whole. They don’t believe in HARM when it’s to them and those within their circles but they somehow don’t have a care in the world when they do HARM to others which is why I will NEVER have remorse for anything that life throws their way. You get EXACTLY what you get for your ignorance upon the next!
Let’s just admit Linda hates gay and trans peoples because it says so in the Bible 🤓🤡💀therefore we cannot sexualize children even though nobody is doing it , and even if they were it happens inside the church and outside the church. what a fascinating discovery and when does happen nobody is celebrating because nobody wants to victimized so I suggest you tell god to go woke or go broke because he is
Anyone who believes it’s appropriate for drag queens (in their full “drag apparel and drag queen make-up” is ABSOLUTELY guilty of child abuse and so are the people responsible for allowing this and the parents who take their children to be exposed to this filth are even worse!

I am so sorry that I voted for DeSatan when he ran for Governor. I promise it will never happen again unless he stops his gestapo battles with Disney and reverses EVERYTHING he has done to them.
Please everyone grow up start over the other ceo made a big mistake buy putting politics in a magical place talk and resolve the issue Disney is for everyone no matter what when I went there before Covid no one care about the issues they forgot there problems and got along did we forgot that
Just curious if your universal or Busch gardens or any buissness do you find it fair Disney had its own laws zoning ect while the other umpteen thousand buissnesses obey the same laws as everyone else?
They also had their own utilites, and if not for Disney wouldn’t have built theme park in Orlando nor probably anywhere else. It was just a swap and orange grove area back then.
Source must be you made it the f up… 25,000 Californians employed by the park and 18,500,000 visitors to the area/year with 8.5 BILLION / year in economic contributions and $510 million to local taxes alone. Sure, zero contributions.
Of course you would say anyone that keeps racism and hate alive is good. Especially in the minds of racist people. Doesn’t seem to to matter that we are going backwards and politicians like Ron DeSantis are helping to destroy the US. They have continued to defy and renounce the truth and good things. Not only to their own detriment and destruction, but that of the entire US for political gain. They provoke others to do wrong, strife, and evil! Other countries used to envy us, now they laugh at us. Those fools and mockers need GODS dramatic intervention. This world is a lost cause. GODS intervention is on the horizon!
Review the tremendous debt CA is carrying. Agree, but their CEO’s decided they’d rather back their agenda of pushing trans/etc on the children instead. Their choice.
Its not theme parks that are hurting… its Disney Plus. Desantis is having little effect on Disney’s bottom line and Disney is having an effect of Desantis’s presidential ambition. Which thank god… his actions reinforce the belief that Florida is the stupidest state in the union… hence the Florida Man stuff.
If a business isn’t doing well..A smart Governor, would push to help out..To keep job’s..This man is ruining Florida and will leave it in a heartbeat, if he can become President.. Leaving it’s people behind in a Limbo..If you call this the Best..I hate to see the Worst..
If a business isn’t doing well it should be left to fail. Giving government handouts to businesses that suck, using tax payer dollars is known as communism. In case you didn’t know, free market capitalism is what made America the most successful country in the world. Crony capitalism and corporate oligarchy sucks. Would you give your tax dollars to a banking institution that is failing? Bailouts are for lovers. Winners don’t need bailouts. And it’s places like Disney that lower wages for Central Floridians. They employ large numbers of people at the lowest wages, which lowers all wages in the area. They charge too much for a crappy experience. They also disrespect their consumers with narratives that do not align with family values. And let’s not forget that 145 Disney employees were busted in human trafficking by Sheriff Grady Judd in 2022. And DeSantis didn’t ban any books in Florida. He removed perverse books from the schools, many of which contained explicit images. Children need reading and math. They don’t need to be exposed to books that you can’t even read out loud in public at school board meetings. When I went to school the most shocking book in the library was Dear God it’s Me Margaret. Now there’s kids books that tell kids it’s fun to get in a white van with adult males. Any parent who wants their kids to read that trash needs to seek mental help.
He is a horrible governor unless you support his brand of hatred toward anything that doesn’t match his political or religious base. Can’t wait till he is gone. Look for florida to turn blue again after his nastiness.
Blue Wave is the problem….. Started with the person who claimed to be black…a disgrace to the black Americans. He and Soros has ruined America.
May America wake up.
Went to Typhoon Lagoon yesterday. We had SO MUCH FUN. No one was being political on any side. We were friendly with EVERYONE and they were ALL friendly to us. Just people having a good time and a happy day. That’s what Disney should be about. Nothing more. (Although $17 for 2 withered “surf doggies” and a Halloween size bag of chips seems kind of ridiculous but…..when in Rome…).
Politicizing Disney was a big mistake on Disney’s part. That isn’t the place to do it.
Signed, a happy Canadian who loves America and all its people.
I’m, sorry no. Disney is hitting Florida in the pocket book. How do you think they will like him when there is a 8% sales tax or additional 4% on your property tax across Florid because disney doesn’t want to help Florida
Disney is failing by their leadership. Have you viewed any of their new programs or movies? I won’t let my kids watch that crap. Even my 13 year old thinks they are horrible. As for their parks? Pricing themselves out. Last time I was there, in 2017, there was no magical dream vacation. It was totally miserable at an enormous price. No plans to ever go back. Disney. My children have more fun at the beach and it doesn’t cost $150 per person to get in.
Average person??? He signed into law the taxpayers can’t see how much money he is spending on trips, vacations traveling to other nations. We as taxpayers should know we’re our money is going with his new law you will know nothing. $$$$
No he is not the best governor Florida has ever had. In fact he should be considered the worst. Never has a governor been so consumed with his desires to flex his muscles because a privately owned company didn’t agree with his policies. It seems that you like so many others have forgotten that we aren’t a part of a dictatorship and we are protected by our 1st amendment rights. But, DeathSantis has. Now he thinks he’s qualified to run this country? Lol, run it further into the ground. Maybe trump will have him as a running mate and end his tyranny in Florida.
Speak for yourself! I have some friends and family there that HATE him! Just because you like DeSatan doesn’t mean everyone does! Hd makes me ashamed to be part Italian! Ugh!
Disney really did it to themselves. Use to be family friendly. Not anymore. And this guy is pandering to a very small market. So it goes he’ll be out of a job. But he has to understand that you can’t do what bud light did. So he can blame governor DeSanti. all he wants. But it’s CEO. Is rich he already got his money.
Amen!! It’s about time Disney start listening to the public!! Go woke, go broke! How many times will it take for big business to keep politics out of what they’re selling (in Disneys case, Family Fun.)
By passing a bill that you can buy a gun without a background check, permit or training? I mean I think anyone with half a brain can see that’s not much to ask if you’re a responsible gun owner.
Best at loosing a economy and its workers. The layoff haven’t got to your yet. But when you see the squeeze of. Of Authoritarianism it will put your in a bad place Broke
To each their own I guess u don’t mind living in a lock state & ur young daughter being silenced at school over her period..U would rather follow a finger dipping..snot nose wiping self claiming Christian who really hasn’t actually followed the teachings of Jesus at all..I predict he will not become President..u love him..but the majority of America knows who he is & what he represents..besides who wants a President that wipes his nose with his hands..ecky!
Ron Desantis is the best thing you Floridians have going for you! I’m sorry that some hard working folks will get caught in the switches but it’s high time for Disney’s comeuppance. From their politics to their prices, there’s no magic there for me. Good riddance!
Andrew for sure and if people or Disney doesn’t like us down here then leave. We do t need all these entitled tourist here. There is more the. Disney here. And as far as our governor we live him and if your moved down here from New York or New Jersey go back. This is a RED state.
Ginny (Virginia), quit being a dimwitted knee-jerk reactionary polititards Karen with your comment. DeSantis is honestly the least of the problems that Disney has right now. I would explain it all to you, but every time that I try to do so, I literally have to reload the screen, and I also doubt that your single brain cell could comprehend my response to you. Let me just say that a variety of strikes, ignoring the fan base of the company, making sub-par products that will not sell, and then doubling down on said products, horrible company policies, and a slee of natural disasters, have all equally contributed to the downfall of Disney.
Maybe they eill cut cist on the oaks because they are TOO EXPENSIVE FOR A NORMAL FAMILY TO ENJOY IF WE STOP GOING THEY WILL EVENTUALLY HAVE TO LOWER COST. WE FONT NEED ALL THOSE DIFFERENT COSTLY PLACES ANYMORE WE JUST NEED A FUN PLACE TO TAKE OUR KIDS AND ATART DOME FAMILY TIME FOR REAL.WAKE UP EVERYONE WAKE UP THE WORLD IS COSTING US AND OUR FAMILIES ARE SUFFERING
Ron DeSantis is correct to tell Disney to keep out of Raising Children. Like all ignorant people,,thousands are losing jobs. That isn’t caused by Governor DeSantis,,by Disney Ignorance
Oh look, Virginia is being funny.
You forget, Vaginia, this is a RED state. That translates into NON-WOKE, heterosexual, DECENT men and WOMEN.
Unlike the cesspool of ass-humping, pole-smoking, clam-bumping regions of Queerville. Twisted regions which will eventually cease to exist due to attrition. Despite the recent bizarre history of ignorance regarding basic biology by YOU PEOPLE, unless you actually can produce a human being by mixing semen and feces in the large intestine, your type will be an endangered species.
Now run along, get back to whatever perverted thing you do, the normal people are having a good time watching that cabal of pedo’s known as Disney collapse. We are enjoying watching the start of the failure the WOKE movement.
It is a shame about the galactic project. It would have been much more successful had the price not been so ridiculously high! Not many people in today’s economy can afford the $4,500 for 2 days stay immersive experiment. It is sad that’s such an awesome idea will be closing.
If Disney would stay out of politics and just concentrate on entertainment, then they wouldn’t be in the situation they are in. DeSantis is Disney’s excuse and not the culprit.
Really do not know how many times I have to say this but companies are always involved in politics especially multi-national conglomerates. I understand not everyone has had a class in organizational behavior since it is master-doctorate level business.
Therefore to say companies should not be in politics is false if not an outright lie. DeSantis is throwing meat to his base which is political and Disney is representing their opinion and that of its employee base.
Before you write erroneous information do a little research unless you are a Russian bot Dori.
Disney needs to leave Florida and watch that state die with its fearmongering politics then see were those trailer park rednecks do for work it’s all gonna back fire
Yup! I’m a DVC member and thought maybe one day I could do the experience on points, but when the cost for 2 days for the single room is the same as 2 studios for a week at the Riviera where you can bring others along, the choice was obvious.
You will get what you want Florida will pay a deep pocket tax for its crazy politics and most of you grown kids grow up on Disney and didn’t have a problem until politics came into play
FFS, they Lost 2% of the subscriber base, after the Covid pandemic, on which most folks had to stay home. People overreact. Heck they overreact this thing into oblivion of they remove series and cancel all but “Marvel and Starwars!”. The people will unsubscribe in far greater numbers and for good reason.
Sigh short term shareholder pressure as per usual.
Florida is not full of crazies but people who love freedom and truth. Disney hurt themselves because of their non friendly agenda and idealism and high prices. Once they started a reservation system, and Genie+ instead of free fast passes I was sadly done. The fun was removed from going to the parks. Disney needs to take responsibility from e their problems and not blame our Governor or Florida.
Agree. Protecting the youngest of our school aged children is the responsibility of all elected officials. Plus it’s not like the left haven’t been doing what they accuse DeSantis is doing.
So where will Disney go where they can find 25,000 acres at rock bottom prices, close to a major airport, with 12 months of good weather, with a large workforce, multiple hotels other than Disney, other theme parks, close to beaches and other things that help Disney attract guests. And soon a train that connects Orlando to Miami. Disney will never leave Florida.
You’re probably right. But, why do you think “a major airport,…(that) large workforce, those multiple hotels other than Disney, (and) other theme parks” are in central Florida? The beaches and weather were always here before Disney, but not the 75,000 Disney jobs and who knows how many derivative jobs in hotels, restaurants, small businesses, service jobs, construction, etc. because Disney had the foresight to buy those “25,000 acres at rock bottom prices” and convert them into Disney World.
You mean the train that is hemorrhaging cash by the day. The train that pretty much roses empty as it goes down the track killing people and causing accidents?
The train Richard Branson pulled out of investing in?
Let see what woke means shall we. In its modern-day, politicised context, ‘woke’ is defined by the OED as ‘originally: well-informed, up-to-date. Now chiefly: alert to racial or social discrimination and injustice’. The Urban Dictionary, meanwhile, explains that ‘being woke means being aware… knowing what’s going on in the community (related to racism and social injustice
Disney has been raising prices with very little “Rise of the Resistance”. But has been neglecting a problem that Disney has had for years, park capacity and ride maintenance. Disney has ridiculous ride pass programs that are utter failures because they don’t have adequate capacity on many of their rides. Another more centralized park will help reduce traffic. This park needs to offer unique ride experiences that you won’t find anywhere else coupled with a few of the rides that are major crowd pleasers at the other parks.
Disney has priced themselves out of business for the average family so it’s self inflicted. Iger came into the game saying Disney was getting out of politics then they pull the King Charles III rule followed up by poor Disney will have to lay off people because of DeSantis, well hey Disney, maybe if you didn’t raise prices twice in one year and actually cared about your passholders and WANTED us to use our tickets then you would be liked as much as Universal. Parents want to take their kids to Disney for entertainment, not sex education.
No, Disney needs to wake up. Florida, as well as the thousands of fired Disney employees, will naturally make a better, as well as better run, company that will make Disney go out of business. The policies that Disney has in place right now, as well as ignoring the vast majority of its customer base, not just in providing things that are against their morals, values, ethics, and faith, but also nickeling and diming employees and customers alike, as well as making things super expensive, with little to nothing to show for the results, as well as a slew of industry wide strikes, management corruption and incompetence, and horrible business policies and decisions overall, are all combining to hurt Disney. Moreover, even Walt Disney himself knew these facts and he dared not to cross his employees or his fans, unless he wanted their wrath, to say nothing about the wrath of the stockholders or the government.
Disney is a rip off. Over priced, long lines, marginal service (especially since COVID) couple with their desire to get into the sociopolitical nonsense so much so they started a fight with the state of Florida, not just DeSantis but also a legislative body that is aligned with DeSantis. And $4500 a night for a hotel room 😂.
Ok Disney …. It already cost close to $10k to go there with with a family of 4 as it is ….
Walt must be holding back the vomit in his mouth. This company was once an America. Icon. Now it’s just a Six Flags gone woke with hotels and a bunch of movie rights for 40 year old products
Once you said 10K for a family of 4 I easily spotted you as a troll and a idiot. I have a family of 4 and spend half that much and we stay at AK so not on the cheap either. So much negative basement dwellers here on this site these days. Be well.
The financial downfall of Disney has nothing to do with Florida or Desantis. Their serious financial problems started 2020 and only got worse from there due to COVID and their own wrong doings. You cannot price out the middle class and expect to survive (no matter where Disney is located). You do that and your business will suffer and likely close. In light of the recent articles stating Disney is going to lower prices by doing a variable pricing system again; I’m concerned they’re going to Jam Pack the parks again with these alleged lower variable ticket prices to make up for their gross financial losses. People complained for years about overcrowding and Disney did something about it albeit COVID helped in that decision making too. I would really love to see the lower tickets prices matched with “reasonable and comfortable” park attendance numbers. Part of getting the most bang for your buck is being able to experience the majority of the rides, see a show, and time for shops.
Much of what you wrote is correct. But, Disney World is governed by the laws of supply and demand just like any other business. In the case of DW, the supply is relatively finite, unless the parks are physically expanded which will take a lot of time and a favorable business environment which doesn’t presently exist. Lowering ticket prices will only increase the demand side of the equation. If you have an answer to this problem, maybe you should be Disney’s president.
They should have just had Disney up and running the way it was before COVID. People loved going there as well as spending $. Prices were raised to many times and too much. Fastpasses gone as well. Our large family planned our yearly vacation all the time. When Chapek came in and changed so much we were disappointed beyond belief. Igor came back and we were thrilled. Now it’s a disappointed still. Maybe some day down the road. Found other places for the moment.
Disney did this to them selves we’re getting involved in politics you don’t hear nothing about universal Seaworld nothing like that they were the ones who starred with the anti-gay crap so good for Disney they should go under. I wish they wouldn’t leave the Florida and take all your gay employees with you and all entitled tours that come down here and pollute the state if you don’t like Florida and get your ass out of here.
I went to Disney in January 2023, we’ve been going since the mid-80’s. Used to be you could make a circuit of the park and see anything you wanted. Now, with the ridiculous reservations, you’re up late and very early, then have to zigzag around, we missed the Tiki Room as a result. Stayed at The Grand Floridian, which was just beautiful but very expensive for 2 of us our trip for 5 days cost about $8K….too much.
Why does a few people think Disney is going broke??? If u have read that the parks made an unbelievable 35%increase in profits?? I have been at least 24 times as it was my fav, not now! When they started charging to park there when u are staying at their hotels?… does t seem ok?
Why shouldn’t they pay their share of taxes? We cer do, It’s all about money, OF COURSE
I agree 100% with Mr Iger, He’s got to do what he’s got to do. Everything due to Desantis! Hidden were hurts. Disney had a great thing going on in a hater like DeSantis messed it up. I’m glad Mr. Iger is fighting back
Of course you would say anyone that keeps racism and hate alive is good. Especially in the minds of racist people. Doesn’t seem to to matter that we are going backwards and politicians like Ron DeSantis are helping to destroy the US. They have continued to defy and renounce the truth and good things. Not only to their own detriment and destruction, but that of the entire US for political gain. They provoke others to do wrong, strife, and evil! Other countries used to envy us, now they laugh at us. Those fools and mockers need GODS dramatic intervention. This world is a lost cause. GODS intervention is on the horizon!

There profit was 2.1 billion, but they are still struggling. Why bc the CEO couldn’t afford that 10 vacation home. Smh I will never support this place ever. Disney sucks!
I say, go Disney. My governor wants a piece of Disney’s pie. Florida is a pawn in his bid to dictate. Floridians have not voted on any of this governor’s nonsense. Florida now has travel warnings because he passed a law to take custody of any kid who wants to dress as another gender and this up until 18 years of age. Freedom is dying in Florida. Sad but brilliant move on Iger’s part especially if they are forced to close certain attractions. Monorail is bound to go, unfortunately my guess.
Disney hired a bunch of positions targeting a customer base that leaned heavily liberal. When they realized there wasn’t as much money because liberal mindsets usually result in less money spent, they realized they needed to get rid of those positions. Disney is very left leaning but money talks. The bottom line is more important than accommodating the far left. They are realizing they have to become more middle ground and make investments are equally important to both the right and the left.
Hahahahaha? Who has no money 💰 at the parks and is cheap? Not liberals Looooool
And … Both of your parties are right capitalist parties .. you don’t have A CLUE what even a Liberal party is. Please grab a book and learn something useful in life… Is just that the one you support is way far right! Hahahahaha
And no, I don’t agree with everything Disney does but on this one .. I fully ,💰support them.
Layoffs mean less customer service, less magic. The 1-2-1 punch of Iger, Paycheck, Iger really did a number on Disney. Perhaps if they were less vocal about political support, for either side, things would be different. But when you also try to maximize profit after a pandemic, people know the game and stop playing. This is where Disney is at and it’s not the same Disney sooo many people grew to know and love.
All of Florida is under siege Disney, Schools, Diversity, lgbt+ immigrants, social services, no state tax BUT tax every thing higher , Florida government under the GOP is conscienceless Is this how the GOP describes less government involvement? GOOD FOR DISNEY! GOP won’t touch Villages under similar contracts as Disney, WHY BECAUSE US OLD PEOPLE ALWAYS VOTE! I know it would never happen but imagine if Disney pulled out of Florida? Who would take care of the swamps?
All you hear from libs is get big business. DeSantis did just that and now the libs are crying. Make up your mind. Disney is failing because of their wokeness and bad choices.
Once Disney went Woke I cancelled my subscriptions and stop going to the theme parks. You bought into the racist political pandering hook line and sinker just like the rest of the sheep. Go Woke go broke. It was fun while it lasted.
I wish to have a governor like De Santis in my state
I am seek entirely with all this minority crap trying to converte the majority on no senses arguments
Do whatever but don’t you bother me manipulating the media
Dear Mr. Iger,
It seems you let politics into the wonderful world of Disney. All you should be asking yourself is: what would Walt Disney do? Did you forget what this is all about?It’s about the kids and the kid in all of us.
The author, Luke Dammann, needs to understand that there is a difference between being “fired” and “laid off”. Trying to use those two words and make them sound similar is poor writing and inflammatory.
Disney went rogue and “woke” and lost customers. Then jacked the prices including the ridiculous stay in their space hotel! If they wanted to save it lowering the price by at least 2/3rds would have helped? At least then maybe it would have made sense! Instead it will rot like their old water park at the campgrounds. It’s sad, very sad what Disney has done to itself.
Move out of Florida. Find a state that appreciates you. Georgia is a beautiful state and close by to move to. However California has almost perfect weather year round so you can stay open. Good luck.
The more money Bob save the company but firing employees the more Bob puts in his pocket with his bonus. Disney said business is booming, why are they firing employees? Why are they not taking care of there parks as Universal is doing. Seems they are not telling the truth.
Disney is demonic to say the least ! They should be shut down all together ! Walt would be turning over in his grave if he knew what has become of his legacy. The truth is coming out 🙏🙌thank God !!
Corporatism, the Democrats and Republicans both have their money from the corporations, total corruption profit in any cost. Do you want to open that statement and see a good dividend that’s all that matters people don’t matter customers don’t matter only the Board of Directors doesn’t matter how many bodies you can walk over dead bodies they don’t care that you lost your job. They’re totally disconnected from us.
When Disney upped all of their prices and took away the fast passes, bus transportation from the airports and took away the Disney Dining plan…that was it for us. Since Disney is so expensive, these conveniences were real nice.
Disney, as I have grown up and grown out of it after over 50 yrs…and seen all the changes…visiting parks all my life…I have to say: I believe Disney has substantially gone down morally, lost its “true north”, and needs to immensely clean up their act. Disney is not adhering to its original vision and they are losing their grip. The ancient and true scriptures says when God is pleased with yoyr wsys he makes your enemies at peace with you. Disney has forgotten its higher power in its moral decisions and now they are paying for it. So much is off color stuff is so subtley woven in, im not sure it can be untangled exceot by a clean start. I have always loved Disney…waited as a kid for that magazine in the mail. Visited parks enjoyed the magic..took our kids over and over…Later in life worked a few months in one of their galleries. Loved it but the drive was too far. Please Disney land on your feet and stop doing the wrong stories and sexually oriented imagery things for our kids. Your teaching things thru imagery that is contributing to the societal issues. Get some really groynded people on your adm. And start looking seriously at what your doing !

Please Disney land on your feet and stop doing the wrong stories and sexually oriented imagery things for our kids. Your teaching things thru imagery that is contributing to the societal issues. Get some really groynded people on your adm. And start looking seriously at what your doing !
This is a problem of their own making that goes way back beyond FL and Desantis. Not the least of their issues is they have increasingly priced themselves beyond what their original family base was first willing and second able to pay.
Then they continue to insert themselves in needless social and political drama kowtowing to flavor-of-the-day demands by a miniscule but highly vocal segment of their market that further fractures the loyalty of and splits that base and that of their market shareholders.
They’re blaming Desantis as their red herring to distract from the fact that they’ve had a string of CEOs and upper management teams for recent decades that the shareholders should have been demanding the board to fire.
I hope Disney ends up closing for good! It has ridiculous prices and it’s sad that little kids can’t enjoy the experience unless your a millionaire. People don’t have jobs and keep losing jobs, these prices are just out of mind
Disney can bankrupt the red state of Florida along with a total boycott of all republican owned businesses and services in Florida, additionally I will lobby to remove all military insulations in Florida, plus eliminate the tourist profits in Florida. When the people of Florida get smart enough to kick the Govenor and Republicans out of Florida, Democrats will improve Florida.

Disney is stained for turning against God. Just like the methodist church. We will pause on canceling our subscription to see if they will repent from their “pro at all cost” to endorse sexulization of our countries minor children. Protection of the innocent is the now fight in our world. Adult serial preferences should not be sold to our minors. This is an individual parent right, now Disney’s. Walt’s beautiful vision to help our children grow as children is lost today. We know there is a massive back building to eliminate Disney from our minor children’s wrongful and harmful influence. I pray all will allow Disney the chance to correct is wrong doing as we are, in the honor of the GREAT Walt Disney.
Take your sick money and your sick pedophile selves and leave our state!!!!!!!
What are you waiting for?
GET GONE!!!!!!!
DON’T COME AROUND HERE NO MORE!
Woke leadership and employees have caused the hostilities towards the Disney company. If they let go the woke culture change employees they should normalize the company and concentrate on family entertainment.
BETTER NOT FIRE MICKEY!!
That star galactica experience was way over the head ($$$$) of most families, especially after the pandemic. Never should have enticed families into going broke over it to begin with. Now the Disney Executives get a taste of their own discourteousness.
I live in Florida and I don’t like Ron Ron DaSandtoes. Florida was a free to be state. Now they want to be do what daddy DaSandtoes says state. I don’t need a racist as a daddy. I have a father and Ronda Sanit would NOT make a pimple on my daddies butt.
And just like that, I’ll be taking my vacation elsewhere. That’s disappointing about the layoffs, I feel awful for the workers, but I can’t say I’m surprised at Disney, either.
It’s going to be a monumental task to move that park to a different state. But it DEFINITELY needs to happen. The easiest option would be to expand the park in California, and dump the one in Florida!
A company like Disney – with their stock at 50% versus 2019; laying off thousands of employees; taking on a governor who won with 60% of the vote last year – is so toast that A) they can’t afford to reproduce the park elsewhere and B) if they abandoned it someone else would buy it and make a boat load of money. That is if Florida doesn’t use eminent domain. Florida with $58 Billion surplus and Disney on it’s knees. Go Red!!
Let me guess…you never even owned a lemonade stand in your life did you? Complete Liberal Arts major fantasy about just picking up and leaving – abandoning billions of $ in investments. DeSantis won. Libs just can’t admit it
This is what happens when a Company built of Walt Disney’s family values and Clean Family entertainment decides Attacks those Values in every facet of their business. SELF DESTRUCTION OF A ONCE GREAT COMPANY…SAD
RON DESANTIS IS A HABITUAL LIAR . HE HAS MENTAL ISSUES WHICH MAKES HIM unreliable and dangerous as a leader.
Someone who lies pathologically may show certain signs, including telling lies with no clear benefit. The lying may be a symptom of another condition and may improve with treatment.
Pathological lying, also known as mythomania and pseudologia fantastica, is the chronic behavior of compulsive or habitual lying all the time. He also has been seen taking illegal drugs and love dressing unflattering as a Drag Queen.
I hope they all send Governor DeSantis a thank you letter for getting them fired. You shouldn’t have started a fight with the largest employer in Florida I think the largest taxpayer as well he’s sending the state downhill quick
Good for Mickey let’s see Desatan talk trash to Mickey now .Talking bout cutting your nose to spite your face for real.And the repubs cult too stupid to realize the mouse only eats cheese.Mickey maintains Florida taxes and built that place from the swamp see how they manage now.Screw Florida!
Disney getting what they deserve. Their stock prices dropping has nothing to do with DeSantis for the nimble minded here. Like most I fully support disney paying their fair share. That hasn’t been the case up to now. Great job governor!
Disney thinking there.a voice in how people raise there children is a joke. They will tell the School System to teach garbage. It took a Governor to shut them up,,
Now, thousands are losing jobs,,,seems some are not as smart as they thought
The jobs being lost are because your meatball is playing a poor game of hardball. Disney is downloading all those jobs to your sinking mangrove swamp State.
I hope politicians realize that getting their smelly little fingers into becoming an authoritarian prick it won’t go well. I hope Disney move’s everything to Canada. We probably have a location and certainly the atmosphere here that would do better than a sinking mangrove swamp.
The comments thread is exactly what I expected. Disney did this to themselves. Iger did this. The only ones I feel sorry for are the 9 to 5 staffers people who were just working regular jobs. The ones who had nothing to do with Disney’s nonsense being caught up in that BS with Florida. They’re the ones who will suffer while the higher ups sit comfortably getting fat.
Disney needs to shut down Disney+ and sell ESPN. Those 2 moves will save billions of dollars,but Iger would rather swim with an anchor around his neck that admit one of his ideas is dragging disney down.
Comments for Disney Terminating Thousands of Employees Effective Immediately
Virginia
Hopefully Disney is buffing up so Iger and anyone else with a need can give Ron DeSantis a punch in the nose!
Tell him it’s for wearing Nancy Sinatra GO GO BOOTS to help in a flood!
A nothing but photo op and he was dressed for the party to drag the river
Andrew
It really is Disney’s own fault they’re doing as poorly as they’re doing. Do you ever wonder how it was that Florida for the first time ever was such a red state? We here in Florida love the man. He represents the average person exceptionally well. Bar none he is if not in the top 3 best governors in the US, he is EASILY THE BEST governor in the US!
Dean
Hey look everybody… This guy Andrew here is GAY for Desantis!

Janet, I would call you a Karen for your comments on here, but even the woman that is named Karen that is in the comments section has infinitely more sense than yourself.

It’s Disney’s fault. Their ticket prices are ridiculous and not worth the experience. Most families can’t afford it. Now their going to raise ticket prices? They have said their net profits are billions of dollars so why are they laying employees off. Nonsense!

You lowlife bigot! Go back into the cave where you came from

Think people are taking a stand on Disney’s liberal views as a whole. They have completely ruined ESPN with having people of the right color in the right believes per se it is almost unwatchable and thank God there are other options if you are into sports and not a political agenda.
Mark
No. Disney has turned totally gay over the past 3-4 years with stupid CEO before they were forced to bringing Iger back to fix it. All true Americans love Desantis

He is a power hungry jerk who calls Fl. The “freedom “ state. Meanwhile he is signing law after law taking away our rights

Maureen
All Americans don’t love Desantis!! He is a whiny little man and if he can’t handle Disney how is he going to cope with the larger nations? Desantis does okay in Florida however he is not ready or capable of hanging with the big boys.
?
I hate DeSantis with all my heart and I have a true American. He essentially killed 3 million fullerenes with his Covid policies I’m not lying schools to men take mass businesses to mandate mass businesses mandating vaccinations for their employers 3 million people are dead because of him so shut up stupid!!! Hysterical is a governor and type forbid if he was to be able to get elected as president and go to the White House. You do realize that if he does room for election as president, he will have to be give up being governor for two years
Elise
He killed 3 million with his covid policies? Are you serious? I don’t even totally like the man, but that is BS. But if you feel better scared and wearing aask and getting vaxed every other week….I feel really sorry for ya!

No books were banned.

All boys aren’t blue by George Johnson. 565 books were banned in Florida I wrote a few examples.

Unfortunately, unless someone like DeSantis takes over at the helm, you are absolutely correct…the Twilight zone horrors we’re living through right now are typical of a socialist/communist agenda being pushed. Opposite what you’ve been told to believe
Aliiforjustice
Desantis is nothing but a robot tool to his wife and not the constituents of Florida. Americans somehow lost their way, because DeSantis is opposite of democracy opposite of freedom opposite that you make your own choices for your own self and your own body will no longer exist. He’s a bigot towards LGBTQ. Hence why this Disney fight has gone this far because Disney stood up for the thousands of employees that feel it is absurd that you can’t use the word gay. He is not the savior for what’s going on right now he is a contributor, he’s a power grab person and he will leave you so fast if you don’t agree with everything that he puts forth cutting teachers pay there’s a laundry list
Colet
Trust me when I say you are talking to a bunch of walls. Most of these people don’t care about anybody freedom but their OWN. They are convinced that their decisions and way of life is and should be the ONLY way of life. The only way to overcome is to fight them with their own systems put in place. Most of these people are use to their faces being on the wall of perfection so don’t expect them to change or ever imagine a space on that wall for ANY face that doesn’t look like their face. They already feel like the world revolves around them. They aren’t the reasoning types which is why you have to just knock their pictures off the wall and create/take that space you need. These are the very people that make this world a you oR me type of world. Yet, when they are in need they could care LESS how different your face is to their face. They’d rather continue to make others suffer rather than to see us all live our lives in bliss as a whole. They don’t believe in HARM when it’s to them and those within their circles but they somehow don’t have a care in the world when they do HARM to others which is why I will NEVER have remorse for anything that life throws their way. You get EXACTLY what you get for your ignorance upon the next!

Of course you would say anyone that keeps racism and hate alive is good. Especially in the minds of racist people. Doesn’t seem to to matter that we are going backwards and politicians like Ron DeSantis are helping to destroy the US. They have continued to defy and renounce the truth and good things. Not only to their own detriment and destruction, but that of the entire US for political gain. They provoke others to do wrong, strife, and evil! Other countries used to envy us, now they laugh at us. Those fools and mockers need GODS dramatic intervention. This world is a lost cause. GODS intervention is on the horizon!
BG
Well said. Agree. If they would stick to entertainment there would have been no issues!

Jon Mesantis
Lol. This rich guy represents the little guy!

Its not theme parks that are hurting… its Disney Plus. Desantis is having little effect on Disney’s bottom line and Disney is having an effect of Desantis’s presidential ambition. Which thank god… his actions reinforce the belief that Florida is the stupidest state in the union… hence the Florida Man stuff.
Stella
If a business isn’t doing well..A smart Governor, would push to help out..To keep job’s..This man is ruining Florida and will leave it in a heartbeat, if he can become President.. Leaving it’s people behind in a Limbo..If you call this the Best..I hate to see the Worst..
Colleen
If a business isn’t doing well it should be left to fail. Giving government handouts to businesses that suck, using tax payer dollars is known as communism. In case you didn’t know, free market capitalism is what made America the most successful country in the world. Crony capitalism and corporate oligarchy sucks. Would you give your tax dollars to a banking institution that is failing? Bailouts are for lovers. Winners don’t need bailouts. And it’s places like Disney that lower wages for Central Floridians. They employ large numbers of people at the lowest wages, which lowers all wages in the area. They charge too much for a crappy experience. They also disrespect their consumers with narratives that do not align with family values. And let’s not forget that 145 Disney employees were busted in human trafficking by Sheriff Grady Judd in 2022. And DeSantis didn’t ban any books in Florida. He removed perverse books from the schools, many of which contained explicit images. Children need reading and math. They don’t need to be exposed to books that you can’t even read out loud in public at school board meetings. When I went to school the most shocking book in the library was Dear God it’s Me Margaret. Now there’s kids books that tell kids it’s fun to get in a white van with adult males. Any parent who wants their kids to read that trash needs to seek mental help.

Just people having a good time and a happy day. That’s what Disney should be about. Nothing more. (Although $17 for 2 withered “surf doggies” and a Halloween size bag of chips seems kind of ridiculous but…..when in Rome…).
Politicizing Disney was a big mistake on Disney’s part. That isn’t the place to do it.

Pricing themselves out. Last time I was there, in 2017, there was no magical dream vacation. It was totally miserable at an enormous price. No plans to ever go back. Disney. My children have more fun at the beach and it doesn’t cost $150 per person to get in.

No he is not the best governor Florida has ever had. In fact he should be considered the worst.

It seems that you like so many others have forgotten that we aren’t a part of a dictatorship and we are protected by our 1st amendment rights. But, DeathSantis has. Now he thinks he’s qualified to run this country? Lol, run it further into the ground. Maybe trump will have him as a running mate and end his tyranny in Florida.

Disney really did it to themselves. Use to be family friendly. Not anymore. And this guy is pandering to a very small market. So it goes he’ll be out of a job.

Ginny (Virginia), quit being a dimwitted knee-jerk reactionary polititards Karen with your comment. DeSantis is honestly the least of the problems that Disney has right now. I would explain it all to you, but every time that I try to do so, I literally have to reload the screen, and I also doubt that your single brain cell could comprehend my response to you. Let me just say that a variety of strikes, ignoring the fan base of the company, making sub-par products that will not sell, and then doubling down on said products, horrible company policies, and a slee of natural disasters, have all equally contributed to the downfall of Disney.

Despite the recent bizarre history of ignorance regarding basic biology by YOU PEOPLE, unless you actually can produce a human being by mixing semen and feces in the large intestine, your type will be an endangered species.
Now run along, get back to whatever perverted thing you do, the normal people are having a good time watching that cabal of pedo’s known as Disney collapse. We are enjoying watching the start of the failure the WOKE movement.

It is a shame about the galactic project. It would have been much more successful had the price not been so ridiculously high! Not many people in today’s economy can afford the $4,500 for 2 days stay immersive experiment. It is sad that’s such an awesome idea will be closing.
Sharon
Agreed!
Dori
If Disney would stay out of politics and just concentrate on entertainment, then they wouldn’t be in the situation they are in. DeSantis is Disney’s excuse and not the culprit.
Dr. Manny
Really do not know how many times I have to say this but companies are always involved in politics especially multi-national conglomerates. I understand not everyone has had a class in organizational behavior since it is master-doctorate level business.
Therefore to say companies should not be in politics is false if not an outright lie. DeSantis is throwing meat to his base which is political and Disney is representing their opinion and that of its employee base.
Before you write erroneous information do a little research unless you are a Russian bot Dori.

Disney should stay in it’s lane. Movies ,cruises,and hotels stay the hell out of politics.
Dr. Manny
Another bot.
Karen
Florida is not full of crazies but people who love freedom and truth. Disney hurt themselves because of their non friendly agenda and idealism and high prices. Once they started a reservation system, and Genie+ instead of free fast passes I was sadly done. The fun was removed from going to the parks. Disney needs to take responsibility from e their problems and not blame our Governor or Florida.
Phil
I’m a Floridian. I love freedom and truth. And, the truth is people who support De Satan’s ideas and behavior don’t advance freedom or truth.
jal11180
Neither do you, Land-Phil, so kindly slag off, thanks.
Linda
Agree. Protecting the youngest of our school aged children is the responsibility of all elected officials. Plus it’s not like the left haven’t been doing what they accuse DeSantis is doing.
Carl
So where will Disney go where they can find 25,000 acres at rock bottom prices, close to a major airport, with 12 months of good weather, with a large workforce, multiple hotels other than Disney, other theme parks, close to beaches and other things that help Disney attract guests. And soon a train that connects Orlando to Miami. Disney will never leave Florida.
Pam Nelson
If it wasn’t for Disney none of that would exist! The Orlando airport was a small little strip on Highway 50!
Phil
You’re probably right. But, why do you think “a major airport,…(that) large workforce, those multiple hotels other than Disney, (and) other theme parks” are in central Florida? The beaches and weather were always here before Disney, but not the 75,000 Disney jobs and who knows how many derivative jobs in hotels, restaurants, small businesses, service jobs, construction, etc. because Disney had the foresight to buy those “25,000 acres at rock bottom prices” and convert them into Disney World.
Dr. Manny
You mean the train that is hemorrhaging cash by the day. The train that pretty much roses empty as it goes down the track killing people and causing accidents?
The train Richard Branson pulled out of investing in?

Correction, Disney should not be a bunch of hateful and crazy numb nuts…get it right, AJ.

GG Iger! #GetWokeGoBroke.

Yep

Let see what woke means shall we. In its modern-day, politicised context, ‘woke’ is defined by the OED as ‘originally: well-informed, up-to-date. Now chiefly: alert to racial or social discrimination and injustice’. The Urban Dictionary, meanwhile, explains that ‘being woke means being aware… knowing what’s going on in the community (related to racism and social injustice
Bob Ross
Disney has been raising prices with very little “Rise of the Resistance”. But has been neglecting a problem that Disney has had for years, park capacity and ride maintenance. Disney has ridiculous ride pass programs that are utter failures because they don’t have adequate capacity on many of their rides. Another more centralized park will help reduce traffic. This park needs to offer unique ride experiences that you won’t find anywhere else coupled with a few of the rides that are major crowd pleasers at the other parks.
Sharon
Such a great place to take your kids to and now closing! So sad 😢
Bridget
Disney has priced themselves out of business for the average family so it’s self inflicted. Iger came into the game saying Disney was getting out of politics then they pull the King Charles III rule followed up by poor Disney will have to lay off people because of DeSantis, well hey Disney, maybe if you didn’t raise prices twice in one year and actually cared about your passholders and WANTED us to use our tickets then you would be liked as much as Universal. Parents want to take their kids to Disney for entertainment, not sex education.
Joe
Right on

Exactly go woke go broke
Paul W
I’ve yet to see anyone actually define that term. You don’t know whwt you are talking about.
Janet
Exactly. Florida needs to wake the F up.
jal11180
No, Disney needs to wake up. Florida, as well as the thousands of fired Disney employees, will naturally make a better, as well as better run, company that will make Disney go out of business. The policies that Disney has in place right now, as well as ignoring the vast majority of its customer base, not just in providing things that are against their morals, values, ethics, and faith, but also nickeling and diming employees and customers alike, as well as making things super expensive, with little to nothing to show for the results, as well as a slew of industry wide strikes, management corruption and incompetence, and horrible business policies and decisions overall, are all combining to hurt Disney. Moreover, even Walt Disney himself knew these facts and he dared not to cross his employees or his fans, unless he wanted their wrath, to say nothing about the wrath of the stockholders or the government.
Jay
The noise-word “woke” is a screen of smoke.
Linda
Agree.
Linda
Exactly!!!
TJ
Disney is a rip off. Over priced, long lines, marginal service (especially since COVID) couple with their desire to get into the sociopolitical nonsense so much so they started a fight with the state of Florida, not just DeSantis but also a legislative body that is aligned with DeSantis. And $4500 a night for a hotel room 😂.
Ok Disney …. It already cost close to $10k to go there with with a family of 4 as it is ….
Walt must be holding back the vomit in his mouth. This company was once an America. Icon. Now it’s just a Six Flags gone woke with hotels and a bunch of movie rights for 40 year old products
Sue
Once you said 10K for a family of 4 I easily spotted you as a troll and a idiot. I have a family of 4 and spend half that much and we stay at AK so not on the cheap either. So much negative basement dwellers here on this site these days. Be well.
Joe
Disney let their woke employees misguided their public position and stance with state.
Pick a fight and expect a bloody nose
Brooklyn
The financial downfall of Disney has nothing to do with Florida or Desantis. Their serious financial problems started 2020 and only got worse from there due to COVID and their own wrong doings. You cannot price out the middle class and expect to survive (no matter where Disney is located). You do that and your business will suffer and likely close. In light of the recent articles stating Disney is going to lower prices by doing a variable pricing system again; I’m concerned they’re going to Jam Pack the parks again with these alleged lower variable ticket prices to make up for their gross financial losses. People complained for years about overcrowding and Disney did something about it albeit COVID helped in that decision making too. I would really love to see the lower tickets prices matched with “reasonable and comfortable” park attendance numbers. Part of getting the most bang for your buck is being able to experience the majority of the rides, see a show, and time for shops.
Phil
Much of what you wrote is correct. But, Disney World is governed by the laws of supply and demand just like any other business. In the case of DW, the supply is relatively finite, unless the parks are physically expanded which will take a lot of time and a favorable business environment which doesn’t presently exist. Lowering ticket prices will only increase the demand side of the equation. If you have an answer to this problem, maybe you should be Disney’s president.
Flame
I can slove this problem for disney.
Lori Lynn Nicklas
They should have just had Disney up and running the way it was before COVID. People loved going there as well as spending $. Prices were raised to many times and too much. Fastpasses gone as well. Our large family planned our yearly vacation all the time. When Chapek came in and changed so much we were disappointed beyond belief. Igor came back and we were thrilled. Now it’s a disappointed still. Maybe some day down the road. Found other places for the moment.
lrak
well said.
Sue
Disney did this to them selves we’re getting involved in politics you don’t hear nothing about universal Seaworld nothing like that they were the ones who starred with the anti-gay crap so good for Disney they should go under. I wish they wouldn’t leave the Florida and take all your gay employees with you and all entitled tours that come down here and pollute the state if you don’t like Florida and get your ass out of here.
Phil
Were you paying attention in English class? Or, were you just listening to DeSatan B.S.

Awesome place…40 years ago
A money-pit, now 😒
Christine
I went to Disney in January 2023, we’ve been going since the mid-80’s. Used to be you could make a circuit of the park and see anything you wanted. Now, with the ridiculous reservations, you’re up late and very early, then have to zigzag around, we missed the Tiki Room as a result. Stayed at The Grand Floridian, which was just beautiful but very expensive for 2 of us our trip for 5 days cost about $8K….too much.
Donald J 2024
Go woke go broke don’t like Florida move to California they have a super woke Disneyland …

How bout the cuts start at the top – IGER D’amaro etc etc.
Until then NOTHING changes at this evil kingdom.

Step right up, you Woke Corporate Behemoths. Who’s next?
Marge McWethy
Why does a few people think Disney is going broke??? If u have read that the parks made an unbelievable 35%increase in profits?? I have been at least 24 times as it was my fav, not now! When they started charging to park there when u are staying at their hotels?… does t seem ok?
Why shouldn’t they pay their share of taxes? We cer do, It’s all about money, OF COURSE
jal11180
Ah, another Disney bot, a.k.a., Marge McWethy.
Jorge
I agree 100% with Mr Iger, He’s got to do what he’s got to do. Everything due to Desantis! Hidden were hurts. Disney had a great thing going on in a hater like DeSantis messed it up. I’m glad Mr. Iger is fighting back
Sherri
Of course you would say anyone that keeps racism and hate alive is good. Especially in the minds of racist people. Doesn’t seem to to matter that we are going backwards and politicians like Ron DeSantis are helping to destroy the US. They have continued to defy and renounce the truth and good things. Not only to their own detriment and destruction, but that of the entire US for political gain. They provoke others to do wrong, strife, and evil! Other countries used to envy us, now they laugh at us. Those fools and mockers need GODS dramatic intervention. This world is a lost cause. GODS intervention is on the horizon!

There profit was 2.1 billion, but they are still struggling. Why bc the CEO couldn’t afford that 10 vacation home. Smh I will never support this place ever. Disney sucks!
Janet
I say, go Disney. My governor wants a piece of Disney’s pie. Florida is a pawn in his bid to dictate. Floridians have not voted on any of this governor’s nonsense. Florida now has travel warnings because he passed a law to take custody of any kid who wants to dress as another gender and this up until 18 years of age. Freedom is dying in Florida. Sad but brilliant move on Iger’s part especially if they are forced to close certain attractions. Monorail is bound to go, unfortunately my guess.
Randy Hodo
DISNEY…Please move to SOUTH CAROLINA. Tell Florida…GOODBYE..
Jon
Disney hired a bunch of positions targeting a customer base that leaned heavily liberal. When they realized there wasn’t as much money because liberal mindsets usually result in less money spent, they realized they needed to get rid of those positions. Disney is very left leaning but money talks. The bottom line is more important than accommodating the far left. They are realizing they have to become more middle ground and make investments are equally important to both the right and the left.
Ron Hiddengay
Hahahahaha? Who has no money 💰 at the parks and is cheap? Not liberals Looooool
And … Both of your parties are right capitalist parties .. you don’t have A CLUE what even a Liberal party is. Please grab a book and learn something useful in life… Is just that the one you support is way far right! Hahahahaha
And no, I don’t agree with everything Disney does but on this one .. I fully ,💰support them.
Nikki Magnusson
Admirable experiment..really?
P.C.Knott
Layoffs mean less customer service, less magic. The 1-2-1 punch of Iger, Paycheck, Iger really did a number on Disney. Perhaps if they were less vocal about political support, for either side, things would be different. But when you also try to maximize profit after a pandemic, people know the game and stop playing. This is where Disney is at and it’s not the same Disney sooo many people grew to know and love.
Cola
I’m glad, now maybe they’ll have workers who have decent customer service skills. We were treated so poorly when I took my grandchildren.
Robt
All of Florida is under siege Disney, Schools, Diversity, lgbt+ immigrants, social services, no state tax BUT tax every thing higher , Florida government under the GOP is conscienceless Is this how the GOP describes less government involvement? GOOD FOR DISNEY! GOP won’t touch Villages under similar contracts as Disney, WHY BECAUSE US OLD PEOPLE ALWAYS VOTE! I know it would never happen but imagine if Disney pulled out of Florida? Who would take care of the swamps?
Chris
Buh bye.
TJW
What a crappy comment section. Not the people but the format.

All you hear from libs is get big business. DeSantis did just that and now the libs are crying. Make up your mind. Disney is failing because of their wokeness and bad choices.

You are right!

Once Disney went Woke I cancelled my subscriptions and stop going to the theme parks. You bought into the racist political pandering hook line and sinker just like the rest of the sheep. Go Woke go broke. It was fun while it lasted.

I wouldn’t mind if Disney went “Belly up!”
Gu
Dear Mr. Iger,
It seems you let politics into the wonderful world of Disney. All you should be asking yourself is: what would Walt Disney do? Did you forget what this is all about?It’s about the kids and the kid in all of us.
Tim
The author, Luke Dammann, needs to understand that there is a difference between being “fired” and “laid off”. Trying to use those two words and make them sound similar is poor writing and inflammatory.
Eugene
The Florida mayor himself if he finds a problem he’ll shut us down this could be the end of WDW
John Wayne
Disney went rogue and “woke” and lost customers. Then jacked the prices including the ridiculous stay in their space hotel! If they wanted to save it lowering the price by at least 2/3rds would have helped? At least then maybe it would have made sense! Instead it will rot like their old water park at the campgrounds. It’s sad, very sad what Disney has done to itself.
Amethyst
So the next step would be for Disney to recall all of their products right?, Everything with the Disney name should be recalled
Mike
We blaming this on Desantis too?
Sterling
Move out of Florida. Find a state that appreciates you. Georgia is a beautiful state and close by to move to. However California has almost perfect weather year round so you can stay open. Good luck.
Diesel
The more money Bob save the company but firing employees the more Bob puts in his pocket with his bonus. Disney said business is booming, why are they firing employees? Why are they not taking care of there parks as Universal is doing. Seems they are not telling the truth.
Jed
Disney is demonic to say the least ! They should be shut down all together ! Walt would be turning over in his grave if he knew what has become of his legacy. The truth is coming out 🙏🙌thank God !!
Liz
Amen.
Jij
Corporatism, the Democrats and Republicans both have their money from the corporations, total corruption profit in any cost. Do you want to open that statement and see a good dividend that’s all that matters people don’t matter customers don’t matter only the Board of Directors doesn’t matter how many bodies you can walk over dead bodies they don’t care that you lost your job. They’re totally disconnected from us.
Liz
Are there any intelligent people commenting on this site? All I see are children name calling.
Bob
Maybe the Disney corporation should worry a little less about a politician and a bit more on what their greed is doing to the company.
JM
When Disney upped all of their prices and took away the fast passes, bus transportation from the airports and took away the Disney Dining plan…that was it for us. Since Disney is so expensive, these conveniences were real nice.
Glori
Disney, as I have grown up and grown out of it after over 50 yrs…and seen all the changes…visiting parks all my life…I have to say: I believe Disney has substantially gone down morally, lost its “true north”, and needs to immensely clean up their act. Disney is not adhering to its original vision and they are losing their grip. The ancient and true scriptures says when God is pleased with yoyr wsys he makes your enemies at peace with you. Disney has forgotten its higher power in its moral decisions and now they are paying for it. So much is off color stuff is so subtley woven in, im not sure it can be untangled exceot by a clean start. I have always loved Disney…waited as a kid for that magazine in the mail. Visited parks enjoyed the magic..took our kids over and over…Later in life worked a few months in one of their galleries. Loved it but the drive was too far. Please Disney land on your feet and stop doing the wrong stories and sexually oriented imagery things for our kids. Your teaching things thru imagery that is contributing to the societal issues. Get some really groynded people on your adm. And start looking seriously at what your doing !

Userdand
This is a problem of their own making that goes way back beyond FL and Desantis. Not the least of their issues is they have increasingly priced themselves beyond what their original family base was first willing and second able to pay.
Then they continue to insert themselves in needless social and political drama kowtowing to flavor-of-the-day demands by a miniscule but highly vocal segment of their market that further fractures the loyalty of and splits that base and that of their market shareholders.
They’re blaming Desantis as their red herring to distract from the fact that they’ve had a string of CEOs and upper management teams for recent decades that the shareholders should have been demanding the board to fire.
I miss WALT’S Disney World.
Shelley
I hope Disney ends up closing for good! It has ridiculous prices and it’s sad that little kids can’t enjoy the experience unless your a millionaire. People don’t have jobs and keep losing jobs, these prices are just out of mind
Captain
Disney can bankrupt the red state of Florida along with a total boycott of all republican owned businesses and services in Florida, additionally I will lobby to remove all military insulations in Florida, plus eliminate the tourist profits in Florida. When the people of Florida get smart enough to kick the Govenor and Republicans out of Florida, Democrats will improve Florida.

Disney is stained for turning against God. Just like the methodist church. We will pause on canceling our subscription to see if they will repent from their “pro at all cost” to endorse sexulization of our countries minor children. Protection of the innocent is the now fight in our world. Adult serial preferences should not be sold to our minors. This is an individual parent right, now Disney’s. Walt’s beautiful vision to help our children grow as children is lost today. We know there is a massive back building to eliminate Disney from our minor children’s wrongful and harmful influence. I pray all will allow Disney the chance to correct is wrong doing as we are, in the honor of the GREAT Walt Disney.

That star galactica experience was way over the head ($$$$) of most families, especially after the pandemic. Never should have enticed families into going broke over it to begin with. Now the Disney Executives get a taste of their own discourteousness.
Jon Smith
I live in Florida and I don’t like Ron Ron DaSandtoes. Florida was a free to be state. Now they want to be do what daddy DaSandtoes says state. I don’t need a racist as a daddy. I have a father and Ronda Sanit would NOT make a pimple on my daddies butt.

And just like that, I’ll be taking my vacation elsewhere. That’s disappointing about the layoffs, I feel awful for the workers, but I can’t say I’m surprised at Disney, either.
Warrior24_7
It’s going to be a monumental task to move that park to a different state. But it DEFINITELY needs to happen. The easiest option would be to expand the park in California, and dump the one in Florida!
Chris
A company like Disney – with their stock at 50% versus 2019; laying off thousands of employees; taking on a governor who won with 60% of the vote last year – is so toast that A) they can’t afford to reproduce the park elsewhere and B) if they abandoned it someone else would buy it and make a boat load of money. That is if Florida doesn’t use eminent domain. Florida with $58 Billion surplus and Disney on it’s knees. Go Red!!
Chris
Let me guess…you never even owned a lemonade stand in your life did you? Complete Liberal Arts major fantasy about just picking up and leaving – abandoning billions of $ in investments. DeSantis won. Libs just can’t admit it

This is what happens when a Company built of Walt Disney’s family values and Clean Family entertainment decides Attacks those Values in every facet of their business. SELF DESTRUCTION OF A ONCE GREAT COMPANY…SAD

RON DESANTIS IS A HABITUAL LIAR . HE HAS MENTAL ISSUES WHICH MAKES HIM unreliable and dangerous as a leader.
Someone who lies pathologically may show certain signs, including telling lies with no clear benefit. The lying may be a symptom of another condition and may improve with treatment.
Pathological lying, also known as mythomania and pseudologia fantastica, is the chronic behavior of compulsive or habitual lying all the time. He also has been seen taking illegal drugs and love dressing unflattering as a Drag Queen.
Chris
YOU have mental issues. Re-read your post
Robert Reed
I hope they all send Governor DeSantis a thank you letter for getting them fired. You shouldn’t have started a fight with the largest employer in Florida I think the largest taxpayer as well he’s sending the state downhill quick

Go woke, go broke. They can join Bud Light being cancelled along with them!!

Good for Mickey let’s see Desatan talk trash to Mickey now .Talking bout cutting your nose to spite your face for real.And the repubs cult too stupid to realize the mouse only eats cheese.Mickey maintains Florida taxes and built that place from the swamp see how they manage now.Screw Florida!
Donna
Disney was fine when DeSantis got married there.
He is changing laws to suit him, not the citizens of Florida. Why is that so hard to see.
He should write and sign a law where Florida cecedes from the USA and becomes a third world country.
G Basford
Disney getting what they deserve. Their stock prices dropping has nothing to do with DeSantis for the nimble minded here. Like most I fully support disney paying their fair share. That hasn’t been the case up to now. Great job governor!

Disney thinking there.a voice in how people raise there children is a joke. They will tell the School System to teach garbage. It took a Governor to shut them up,,
Now, thousands are losing jobs,,,seems some are not as smart as they thought
John Wilkes
The jobs being lost are because your meatball is playing a poor game of hardball. Disney is downloading all those jobs to your sinking mangrove swamp State.
John Wilkes
I hope politicians realize that getting their smelly little fingers into becoming an authoritarian prick it won’t go well. I hope Disney move’s everything to Canada. We probably have a location and certainly the atmosphere here that would do better than a sinking mangrove swamp.
Ryu
The comments thread is exactly what I expected. Disney did this to themselves. Iger did this. The only ones I feel sorry for are the 9 to 5 staffers people who were just working regular jobs. The ones who had nothing to do with Disney’s nonsense being caught up in that BS with Florida. They’re the ones who will suffer while the higher ups sit comfortably getting fat.
ScottM
Being laid off and being fired are not the same thing.
Steve
Disney needs to shut down Disney+ and sell ESPN. Those 2 moves will save billions of dollars,but Iger would rather swim with an anchor around his neck that admit one of his ideas is dragging disney down.
