Oh Chapek, may you get exactly what you deserve.
So wait a second: Ron thinks that bad things happen when you let corporations do what they want…. Like gas prices bring high while oil companies have record profits right? Ron’s going to call for greater government control on gas companies next? And gun manufacturers too? Or is it just that Ron is vindictive because Disney didn’t kiss his ass?
Remember when you talk about Florida opening up early during covid as a good thing, many people were exposed and some died because Florida opened early. Next time around with a ban on masks and other safety requirements Florida will be devastated. That's not freedom, that's suicide.
Yes. Stock holders. Me. Got burned.
The Roadways: Just another loss of ANY imagination or uniqueness to Disney. Right along with the hotels and everything else they do. Their parks in other countries are so much more imaginative. Sad, sad truth.
Iger is messing up in this situation. There is no way they can win. Sorry
Again Tom has show his ignorance on the RCID issue. RCID isn’t owned and was never owned by Disney. Which means no damages. Simple as that. Plus Disney isn’t the only business owner in RCID so they weren’t singled out there either.
It also makes me smile knowing that McCarthy is in the hot seat with shareholders, as if her nasty comment about park-go’rs weight wasn’t enough. Lying to them should do it!
To think Iger wasn't a part of the restructuring and lies is idiotic.
Thanks Tom, great report!
I hear star wars Hotel closing for good – Come down on the price and just turn it into a new DELUXE hotel with dining .. the rooms will sell !
Ok, I’m British so it’s not really my business… but, Tom for President!
Mr DeSantis needs to take a long hard look at what central Florida was, and why it now is….
See you next year Fl 🙂
Here’s something that’ll embarrass cheapass. That overpriced Star Wars hotel is closing forever in September lol.
4 Parks in 1 week is too much walking for this local retiree , I would need more time!
Don't like the replacement of the signs…I know it's a little thing but it was always the little things that made disney special…if they are going to be like everyone else I can go other places for lots cheaper…I want to see disney be leaders again and not just one of the crowd of hotels and such…thanks for always being honest in your videos
So tired of the whole DeSantis/Iger saga. Both sides have points, both sides are wrong about some issues. I'm just so tired of it all and makes me dislike both men so much.
Retaliation is not "illegal" because Disney claims that it is. It is not illegal to "retaliate" by removing a special privilege., like Reedy Creek was. It would be retaliatory to take something from Disney everyone else already has. Disney is now exactly like all other businesses. It's ok to retaliate by taking away special privilege, and that's why DeSantis and the Legislature aren't afraid to mention their actions were to take that special privilege away.
The Star Wars hotel is closing and I hope that Tom doesn't get too upset about it.
Is about time, as an avid Star War fan my wife and I paid for what we were expecting to be a great experience, we dished out a lot of money for a disappointing wasted 2 nights, they had a lot of 'technical issues' and kept interrupting the experience, finally we just gave up.
Akershus….it’s pronounced Akers-hoose…as in Akers house.
I wonder what's Joe Rogan's thoughts on a UFC/Disney partnership?
Corporations shouldn’t be involved with state education systems. It doesn’t even make logical sense. Disney should have absolutely stayed out of it.
The purple road signs were authentically whimsical and distinctly Disney. They enhanced the feeling of escape Tom refers to in the video.
Tom is either willfully ignorant, or a paid contrarian shill. Bob Chapek is being used as a sacrificial lamb. Most of these disastrous, Disney decisions were made under Iger. Stop pretending Chapek was the root of all evil. He’s a fall guy. You either know that and playing ignorant, or one of many paid shills..just one that pretends not to be a shill
Tom needs to form opinions about the Reedy Creek issue based on the key facts.
HOW is it even possible to not ENTIRELY blame Disney's woke attempt to enter politics that HARM children in schools? Their agenda is not Desantis's fault. Stay in your lane Disney or expect sane people will administer repercussions.
Tom , if you think that our view of protecting the innocence of children is a political game, you need to wake up! What children are taught MATTERS and when Disney tried to harm children by siding with the Leftist mob, the people invoked Desantis to act! This is not about politics.
The American people AND Walt himself would NEVER have sided with this bill intent to indoctrinate children .the same ones that the company was built to serve!
It is childish to even talk about this topic without even mentioning that bill!
Those who disagree are exactly why Disney is weaker today than decades ago. 😓
It seems more keen to being a place for adults who won't man up versus children and families. That's why we are seeing the thug fights for the first time in Disney's existence.
I much rather have the old signs
The changing of the signs is another prick in the Disney bubble. And lord knows if I ever visit Florida again I’m doing it only to be in the bubble.
Make no mistake, Bob iger was involved in cooking the books too.
So I was having a discussion with a rando and she was saying how much she hated DeSantis and another rando interjected and asked “Are you talking about the Redskins lineup?”
Lives in my head rent free.
Funny thing, DeSantis and his lovely bride got married in Walt Disney World
Nothing has changed in 2 years. Republican “cancel culture” has always been a colossal double standard. They are for businesses when it’s making their people money, or for freedom of expression when it’s THEIR expression. But that ends there, just like any good totalitarian. DeSantis is no different than any of the Soviet politburo
If this lawsuit is successful I might recover some of my stock losses lol
I wasn’t to say to DeSantes “No Disney just have an opinion & have their right to freedom of speech you num skull.”
DeSantis un a nutshell
"We believe Disney is having an unfair advantage by allowing to govern themselves"
"So let's be unfair to them by dumping BS because they talked bad about me"
Don’t trust corporations. Trust the government instead.
Business first 🙄
Chapek wasn’t “business first” during the pandemic – he has always been about controlling businesses, and many of his policies back then was to force Disney back open to make money. It put lives at risk, but more importantly, took the choice away from Disney. He disallowed vaccine passes and mask mandates. This is not business first, this is using his political platform to ensure conservative restrictions aligned with far-right ideology. So, what he’s doing now is just more of the same.
