Disney putting people before profits?

[best days]

I almost choked on my filet mignon when Pete said on the most recent podcast that Disney always put people before profits. He obviously did not set foot in World of Disney the week everything shut down. It was just a mass of humanity and the cash registers were just a-chinging. And not a hand sanitizing station in sight.

People chose to be there.
Personally I commend WDW for closing as soon as they did.

This.

At a certain point, guests need to smarten up and realize they have a choice to be on property. If they don't feel comfortable don't go.

I'm with Pete 100%.

I also don't personally remember him saying they "ALWAYS" put people before profits - I believe he actually said (and meant) SINCE the pandemic started taking a hold. Because he also said he always has, and will, call them out when it's called for.

I, also, as everyone who comes here regularly knows - have been VERY cynical and jaded the last few years, with all the money grabs, etc. But - in this case - SINCE the pandemic started taking a hold - TOTALLY agree - they have been pretty awesome, and model-worthy, IMHO.
