Nearly 60,000 people have signed a petition on change dot org wanting him fired. I agree with them. Bob Paycheck has to go! He has no idea how to run a high quality consumer based company. He only cares about money. His way of doing things may have been the right way to navigate through this pandemic but continuing forward doing the same things that saved the company during the pandemic, will only destroy the brand outside of the pandemic. Not even Iger likes him anymore. We need a leader that values creativity, imagination, people, and profits. Chapek ONLY values profits. He certainly doesn't value passholders. Magic Kingdom may have been the most visited theme park but Disney still lost money. Universal on the other hand just had it's most profitable quarter EVER! I'm a decade long Platinum passholder at WDW and a relatively new Universal passholder. But if I had to choose between the two right now, I'd drop Disney for Universal without hesitation. Universal has been a far superior experience since the start of the pandemic. It's way more like the pre-pandemic Disney than Disney is right now. Universal has more magic, more fun, more characters, and parades. It's cleaner and safer and even the Team members are much happier there because they feel valued. I'm pretty sure even the spirit of Walt moved over to Universal when Chapek took over. Walt created a world of magic where impossible things happen every day and dreams come true. Chapek is too cheap to provide magic. In Chapek's Disney, you have to bring your own magic. It's the new theme of Disney's 50th Anniversary Fireworks show Enchantment. "You are the magic." Not Disney. So don't expect to find magic at Disney unless you're providing it yourself.
