Free dining was already released for 2019. I doubt we see more of it at this point. Maybe a room discount.

I'd way rather see Disney invest in this than putting money into rebuilding Notre Dame.

With the location of Euro Disney, and the connection to the animated movie, donating something to rebuilding Notre Dame is a wise move. 5 million is essentially peanuts to Disney.

They are investing in both. I do see your point but Disney is investing in renewable/clean energy.

I saw other sentiments about Notre Dame and saying there are other things that money could go to ... I just feel, why is everyone always "this OR that" can't we look at things independently and decide on their own merits. I think there are certain things that have a connection to the world and what make us a people, so wanting to rebuild those things I can understand ... but that shouldn't prevent investment elsewhere. Whether Disney donates $5m to ND has no impact on if they build solar fields or not or if they were to donate to any other causes or not

You are right. The world would probably be better off if the money we spent on Disney vacations went to charity or to doing volunteer work. However, I don't really feel like giving up my vacations, and I still give to charity/do volunteer work. I just don't do either as much as I could just do one.

I wonder if they really are going to need close to a billion to renovate Notre Dame. Similar structures that have been exposed to flames have been restored for a fraction of the cost that Notre Dame already has raised. If there is anything left over I would like to know what it will be invested in, or if it will be put in a fund for future Notre Dame repairs.

On a side note if Disney was planning on doing a live action remake of the Hunchback I wonder what the thought would be now

Estimate I saw is that it could cost more than $8bn to rebuild: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...bear-notre-dame-rebuilding-cost-idUSKCN1RS1LO


One idea I saw that I liked was have Disney re-release Hunchback to theaters and then take the profits from that and donate it

This makes mores sense to me then just a straight cash outlay, they're still a public corporation, not a charity. Sorry if that sounds callous but this is a bit different from natural disaster relief and they shouldn't be considered similar imo.

It’s currently in production with Josh Gad cast as Quasimodo. They haven’t stated any changes.
