  1. The Disney hierarchy is just running Disney as a business. Looking at the bottom line. They aren’t really considering the customer, the experience, the park goer. They aren’t thinking of what Disney represents and what it has stood for in family friendly fun. They aren’t thinking of the imagineering and creativity of designing and creating new and inventive designs. All that is the reason the refurbs of resorts seem a little like normal hotels just with Disney theming, new attractions aren’t near as detailed or intricate as they used to be, free perks have disappeared, and price increases everywhere. I still love going to Disney and taking my family but how and when we go will change. Probably won’t stay on property. No park hopper. Genie+ depending on park. Length of time. No extras add ons. It’s sad. But until Disney is not just a business to the board that’s how it’ll be for us.

  2. We need Disney to be Family owned and operated. Any good thing that ends up being run by shareholders and people around an oval table die. Its not about money. It was never about money. It was about having a good time and making money. Walt wanted somewhere for people to go and forget about work and life. Not worry about how much money they have to be there

  3. This is how Di$ney "THANKS" YOU for being a guest at their WDW resorts..
    $20 per night for parking in YOUR HOTEL, USED TO BE FREE.
    The (FORMERLY) "EXTRA MAGIC HOUR" for staying at a resort is now a HALF HOUR.
    The (FORMERLY) COMPLIMENTARY "Disney Magical Express" for resort guests from the airport IS GONE, you can FIND YOUR OWN WAY now.
    Complimentary Magic Bands for resort guests, GONE.
    Fast Passes, ONCE FREE, are now an UP CHARGE.
    ALL OF THE ABOVE, AND HIGHER RESORT PRICES NOW.
    GREED GREED GREED

  4. I feel like there’s some kind of joke or witty observation to be made about Disney selling the literal holy grail but I’m not sure what. Like yeah it’s from Indiana Jones but the description talks about the blood of Jesus lmao

  5. Disney has forgotten that businesses have responsibilities to ALL stakeholders, not just those who own shares. Chapek is ruining the parks by chasing the almighty dollar. Gambling? WTF, this is not the place Walt imagined. We won’t be back for a long time.

  6. MONEY MONEY MONEY!!!!!! HE TALKS A LOAD OF BULLSHIT. WHAT HE REALLY WANTS IS FOR YOU TO UNLOAD YOUR BANK ACCOUNT INTO HIS COMPANY. POOR WALT! I UNDERSTAND IT'S A BUSINESS AND PROFITS ARE NEEDED TO SURVIVE BUT BETTING? MR CHAPEK YOU HAVE GOTTEN AWAY FROM THE PRINCIPLES AND TENETS THAT WALT SET FORTH YEARS AGO. TO MAKE THE FAMILY EXPERIENCE THE BEST IT CAN BE AND CARE ABOUT THE CUSTOMER. NOT "GET READY WITH SURGICAL PRECISION AT A MOMENTS NOTICE" AND CARVE OUT MORE MONEY FROM PEOPLE. IT WAS ONCE A PLACE WHERE ANYONE COULD COME TO NOW ONLY THE RARIFIED FEW. GO AHEAD AND RAISE THE PRICES. I WILL NOT BE COMING ANYMORE.
    FORMER DVC MEMBER/TAX PAYER AND PARK ATTENDEE FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS. NO MORE.

  7. WTH!!! Disney going into Gambling? Here’s a Novel idea….just remove “Walt Disney Company” from the company ENTIRELY because this isn’t Walt Disney’s company anymore, no morals, no values under CEO Chapek and the current Board!

  8. So, Disney will not be Disney anymore because Bob Chepak wants to turn Disney into Sin City (another Los Vegas). Walt wanted Disneyworld to be "Family friendly". What happened to his dream??? Chepak is pure evil, don't let him fool you!

  9. “Disney” is just the name used for this corporation. It no longer reflects the vision of it’s founder. It’s a corporate money grab for as long as it can attract people based on it’s reputation built on that vision. And so far it’s working. I just spoke with a “first timer” and they thought it was wonderful. You don’t know what you don’t know, it’s only those of us who have been around who realize what’s happening.

  10. This dude Chepak is Distroying Disney. He is the absolute worst THING TO EVER HAPPEN TO DISNEY. Chepak is the Trump of Disney. KICK HIM OUT. KICK HIM OUT. HE IS IMMORAL AND NEEDS TO GO. HE IS HORRIBLY EVIL AND HAS NO BUSINESS AT THE HELM OF DISNEY!!!! WALT IS ROLLING OVER IN HIS GRAVE TO HAVE THE MAFIA TYPE RUNNING DISNEY. I HATE THAT *****

  11. I used to love Disney, but it has lost a lot of magic by choice and the trend continues with its corporate "BS". The initial changes that updated the parks to appeal to a wider audience made sense. Even though Disney knows the “old guard” of Disney fans are upset but for every older family who stops going; there is a younger family that will take over that spot and Disney is relying on them and I see nothing to indicate that Disney Corp will have any reason to change course. A lot of the more recent changes Disney has revealed show they value, maximum profit above all else. Getting into gambling is just another example of that, however there is a difference. They are now abandoning profit with moral values that differentiated Disney from other corporations. Let's be honest the people who actually cared about the experiences guests had at the parks and the company are long gone and have been replaced by money hungry corporate vultures whose only interest is increasing profits. They know that the demand for Disney movies and parks isn't going anywhere, so they don't need to spend nearly as much money to "keep the magic" because people will come regardless. I know many hope the end is nigh, when it come to the Disney Corporation and it absolutely makes no difference to me until we stop complaining about it and start acting on it now. We have the power to force change by uniting and stop going to anything related to Disney (e.g movies, television, parks, etc). But if we do not do anything but complain, cry, and still pay their prices, then we have no one to blame except ourselves for their greed. Disney depends on the fact that we are just blowing out our frustrations on social media but will still pay what they want and they are right because we always have and still will. Because Disney knows many of these select newer younger families will happily pay and those who save go into debt to make to a dream come true. At that time the reason for WDW Park and the company in general was evoke a world of imagination and create memories for all people. These newer individuals will never know the Disney experience; many of us had 25 years ago. I look back now and am glad I experienced that Disney before the place became yet another over priced amusement park.
