Starting to think we will never get to a holiday party - can't see spending as much as $750 for my family to go

Ditto - Especially not while we're APs. I can't justify that price for 7PM-Midnight. We've only done it once and it was more crowded at the party than it was at MK during the regular part of the day. MAYBE if we didn't have APs and we'd be getting 4PM-Midnight, but that's a very strong and unlikely maybe. We're in the group that are quickly being priced out! I'm majorly thankful we bought our APs for this year (just activated last weekend) in June last year before the first price jump hit the SAMs tickets.

Iger is out, Chapek is in as CEO.

Ugh, not the creative visionary I was hoping for

 

[Brianstl]

I have to assume something forced him to stepdown immediately. I hope it isn't a health issue.

[JaxDad]

Wow!

 

[The Pho]

Iger is out, Chapek is in as CEO.

The end is nigh

The board of directors has to love what Chapek has done with the operating income numbers for his division. If you are just looking at the numbers Chapek was the obvious choice.

 

[mattpeto]

Bummer, I like Iger

 

[jamos14]

Not good.

 

[Brocktoon]

Yeah ... I'd hate to speculate, but thinking either health or some sort of legal issue is about to break ?

 

[Brianstl]

The end is nigh

I am not a Chapek fan, but he was only executing what Iger wanted him to do.

 

[RivShore]

FYI - 5:30 PM EST CNBC with have Iger and Chapek on live.
