god damnit! They were part of the minimal characters that are still in the parks too. I hate that I don't understand and am truly just a consumer but you HAVE to have entertainment to make money don't you!?A friend that's friends with Drizella got laid off today.
Now they should have all the kinks worked out from the original ones.
The Disney experience we all knew is gone, not wanting to sound dramatic is just the truth.
You have to remember right now til things get better they are looking at the ROI for many things. Sadly it's been that way for awhile. Just remember Chapek did say that the CM's are the entertainment.
I was so naïve in thinking that nothing could ever change Disney. To me, the most "life changing" moment in my young life (30 years) was 9/11, and even that couldn't end Disney. So I had this idea in my head that they'll always bounce back. Glad I got the 5 trips I did and got to show my daughter the magic before it ended.
Context is always important. He said that when opening SWGE. Prior to a global pandemic that shifted and changed their entire business.
I agree but the reason they are doing a lot of this is because it won't be soon.
Yep. There's a fundamental change occurring to the Disney Parks' experience right now. We're not going back to "normal." We'll eventually move into a "new normal." The pandemic isn't the reason for the change; it's the reason for the timing.
I think something many aren't grasping yet.
Yes and no. I do agree that the global pandemic changed things, I do think they have wanted to cut a lot of the entertainment for awhile. Maybe not as much as now but some.
Again you have to look at the situation. Yes Disney has less entertainment than they have previously (say February prior to COVID). Disney likes thinks that have ROI. Anything that doesn't have a direct return is going to be the first to cut.
Couldn't have said it better.
Pre-COVID sure. Given the packed, maskless MDE return reports I don’t want to touch anything Mears with a 10 foot pole right now.
