The problem is that Japan failed to build Tiana's Bayou.
OMG! DIEversity strikes agina!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sweet loss 😊
I do not agree with the premise of Fantasy Springs within the context of DisneySea. I would have preferred that those new attractions be a part of an "Enchanted Forest" land in Disneyland. However, while Fantasy Springs is based on fairytales, it certainly is not cartoonish. Arendelle is less cartoonish and more realistic that its counterpart in Hong Kong Disneyland. Even Captain Hook's Ship has a more realistic colour scheme than its counterpart in Disneyland Paris. Anything that can be described as "cartoonish" is within the attractions themselves. I would argue that Mermaid Lagoon over in the main part of DisneySea is more "cartoonish" in appearance than anything in Fantasy Springs.
The Japanese government kept these parks closed longer than almost every other park and when they opened it was restricted harshly and foreign guests still weren't allowed in even after they reopened.Also, even though OLC owns this, it still has to deal with corporate disney and their destruction of everything Disney, because Universal is still doing well.
I think Comcast stock will likely rise a bit when they offically open Epic Universe to the public and after that it will depend upon how well it preforms!
As for Disney stock, I honestly expect it to likely sink further as they got nothing truly going right as they clearly got no answer to Epic Universe, the Splash mountain retheme aside from the fact it was a bad idea to start with as proven itelf to be a complete disaster, they are bleeding subs from Disney plus and likely when they finally finish the Hulu merger, to loose even more people, when people unaware of the deal ask "Where is Hulu? Why do I get Disney plus, I didn't sub to that!" Likely the only thing to really give them a bump, is saying who is to replace Iger as CEO, thou I expect if they come out and say that Iger is extending his term again, the stock will drop even further, but then that is my read on the sitution with this company!
I went last year. If you visit Japan, you'll definitely want a Suica card. It's a reloadable metro card, so you can just tap on and tap off your train. But it also works at most stores, restaurants, vending machines and some other transportation like the Disney monorail. It's accepted inside the parks as well. There's more IC cards by other companies like Pasmo or ICOCA. They function exactly the same unless you get a special edition tourist card. You do need cash to purchase and reload it at IC machines. Also it's not accepted for Shinkansen(bullet trains). If you're from USA, most things will be cheap for you currently. It's a pretty good time to visit.
4:42 This may also be the case because Japan's regulations for amusement rides have gotten way stricter since the Fujin Raijin II accident at Expoland in 2007.
Just as an overall summary: Progressivism, especially American Progressivism, generally lands with a dull thud in Asia. It actually seems to generally have nearly not much of an audience outside of European cultures. It might have something to do with the fact that while the movement isn't as honest about it than had been in the early 20th century, it still fundamentally regards Western Europeans as the most advanced examples of humanity who have a moral duty to shepherd everybody else into their rarified, advanced state (or otherwise be disposed of)…
The Annual Report by OLC which is really easy to read is positive on all levels across the board for the whole resort. Guest levels are almost back up to 2019 levels, spending is up, international guests are up and increasing. There is nothing wrong with Tokyo Disney other than the slight stock drop back in March. The Forbes article is nothing but fluff and full of complaining about how a company runs it's park.
Just think how many guests they've lost by not changing Splash to Tianas 😂
Are you sure your data is in the U.S. dollars ??? Isn't it 16 billion yen ?? The projection of the reduced number of park guests doesn't mean people are losing interests and their love for T.D.R. Remember, we no longer have annual passes at T.D.R., which drastically reduces the number of park guests on a daily basis, and the resort also opens later and loses much earlier than what it used to be pre pandemic. That means, guests have less time doing stuff and spending money at the resort than they used to
Wonderful
i must be stupid but how in hell can you lose 16 billion and stay in business? please tell me. A Disney free world would be a nicer, better place for all humanity
Forbes "complains" about paying for the monorail but not explaining WHY. Even though it's resort owned, it falls under Japanese public transportation laws and has to operate like every other elevated/subway train.
I think that this article is a bit one sided and some what misleading. The figures are in Yen . . not US dollar . . . and the reality of the situation is not just financial . . .I think that anyone who knows left from right . . . would know that the entire world is still recovering from the effects of the pandemic . . and a large issue that plagues anyone in the service industry (including OLC) is the operational changes that have to be dealt with because of the effects of the pandemic.
Fantasy Springs is supposed to be the
"Fantasy Land" of Disney Sea so the thematic aesthetic of "fantasy" is not out of place in Disney Sea IMO.
Yes, we plan to go someday!
I was hoping It would've been Walt Disney World Florida.
I did visit Tokyo Disneyland last October 2023(min week), and thought it was fairly crowded. Seating in eating places was hard to find around lunch time.
I was thinking of taking a trip this fall and staying on site at their high to mid range. Hotels is like 500+ dollars a night and it’s sold out to very limited rooms. so they might have in the past two years has been a problem, but they soon won’t help to where they losing the money
Iger loses DEIsney billions every year.
It's probably cause of the crash of the yen.
