Disney went woke, people finally took note and now they are only worth half what they were 3 years ago. How does Disney plan on getting all of those family-oriented customers (I mean "guests") back again? They still do not have a clue. So, instead of refocusing their corporate efforts,DISNEY BEGINS FIRST ROUND OF MAJOR LAYOFFS BY CUTTING 7,000 JOBS

I am no great fan of Disney, but compared to Exxon-Mobil, Disney is far less immoral.
There is nothing immoral about hiring gay young people to put on a Mickey suit, a Donald Duck suit, or a Goofy suit.
There is nothing immoral about Disney having special events days for LBTGQ people.
A lot do attend on the days when they host these gay events. But, not nearly as many as ordinary families with children. Disney never even would let other "guests" know that some big gay-bash was planned, and they would be shocked by what was going on, later to find out this was actually a planned, coordinated gay-event with Disney. Huge mistake.

In fact, I'm wondering why this hasn't happened yet. I will need to look a bit further into the equity structure to try and figure this out. Carl Icahn, Paul Singer, Dan Loeb and/or Jeffrey Smith - y'all should be licking your chops, salivating over the wounded mouse by now. Who's gonna move first???
Let me know when Lady Gaga applies for a job bussing tables, moron.
Yes, and what Peltz got out of it was the slashing of 7,000 jobs. What else did he get? Peltz's big beef with Disney was its over-spending on streaming services, and over paying for 21st Century Fox. The other beef - Disney messed up its succession planning - i.e. the Chapek fiasco. They haven't revealed publicaly how they addressed these other concerns voiced by Peltz and his group.
Less than 40% of Disney visitors have children under 18 years of age.Skans » 19 Apr 2023, 9:58 am » wrote: ↑ We can argue about whether it is moral or not. I recognize that you and others have differing views from me as to what is moral.
However, there is no argument that catering to gays, trannies, lesbians, etc. is incompatible with most men-women with families. Gay-Land is not what couples with kids want when attending Disney Land. And, the vast amount of revenue coming from Disney theme parks and entertainment is from traditional male-female families with children. Children of which their parents are very protective. And, children these parents want to relive and even pass down their own "Disney Experience" they experienced as children.
That's not the case in the Magic Kingdom. This number is skewed by numbers at Epcot. Take Epcot out of the mix, and then let's see.Cedar » 19 Apr 2023, 10:27 am » wrote: ↑ Less than 40% of Disney visitors have children under 18 years of age.

The recently announced after hours event is the first gay event ever held by Disney. The "events" that you're referencing were planned and organized by the homo community themselves. It's known by most folks that frequent Disney to be the week staring on the first Saturday in June.Skans » 19 Apr 2023, 10:05 am » wrote: ↑ A lot do attend on the days when they host these gay events.

I don't know how they handle all of the gay-days at Disney now, but it used to be a big, freaking Gay-Surprise for most people.

Pssst. Dr. PEDO, "gay" events produce a crowd ONCE A YEAR. That's 1 out of 365. The OTHER 364 requires NOT MENTALLY ILL PEOPLE to keep the place running. And it takes LOTS OF THEM. So you propose sacrificing the 364 non mentally ill days of profit just so you can have an "inclusive" day of mentally ill people??Xavier_Onassis » 19 Apr 2023, 9:56 am » wrote: ↑ If you are running an amusement park and gay events produce a big attendance, then that is what it makes perfect sense to do.
Disney is not counting on you to attend this or ever.
Epcot is part of Disney. I have no idea whether gay days include Epcot or not.Skans » 19 Apr 2023, 10:34 am » wrote: ↑ That's not the case in the Magic Kingdom. This number is skewed by numbers at Epcot. Take Epcot out of the mix, and then let's see.
Also, if the numbers still support what you are saying after removing Epcot (I don't think it will), what's wrong with the picture when a kid's theme park being over-run by adults?

As much as us normal people would like to hang it on Disney's "wokeness", that just isn't the case.
I hate it. Disney is trying so hard with it's woke pandering... They are destroying everything that Disney ever was good! I'm sure he would ROLL over in his grave!Skans » 19 Apr 2023, 12:32 pm » wrote: ↑ I disagree. I would bet you anything their sales growth has slowed considerably or stagnated.
