Aren't you required by the tenets of wokism stupidity to honor whatever a person says and feels they are?

Or does the buck stop as soon as adherence to such foolish stupidity starts to affect your bottom line

Disney has always been known for its overcontrolling fascistic tendencies towards its employees & customers Biggie Smiles igly

I've often heard that a visit any Disneyland is like a trip to a concentration camp, eh?

And this was long before it went 'woke'.

Unca Walt wasn't the wholesome guy off screen as he was portrayed on camera.


...nice illusion tho'.

josephine, as usual, you dont know WTF you're talking about. Being born in SoCal, I went there shitloads of times when I was little. It was great. Nothing like the mongoloid shitshow it is today.

and yet, Walt wasn't a very nice Guy in Real Life LokmarL okmeer.

Snitched on people, even destroyed his best friends in Business.

Unca Walt was an Extremely Ruthless Businessman.

Even his daughter said he was an A-Hole

He stepped on a lotta people to provide you with those happy memories...Lokmar!

Sorry dickhead, you said he was that way to his customers and both my parents, all my grandparents, my cousins, as well as myself experienced a lot of great times at Disneyland.

Like I said, STFU about things you have no direct knowledge of when in the presence of your superiors.

Actually LokmarL okmeer, I sometimes collect Disneyana if that makes ya happy.

If I see a good deal in an auction selling way below cost, I'll buy it.

I bought some pieces from their auctions - original art.

Ya see Lokmar, ya caint beat that, cuz if it's One of Kind, there's no more produced after that.

It's not even a reproduction but the Originals.

That's the same idea along the lines as as buying an original Picasso or Da Vinci drawing, eh?

So I figger some of those pieces might go up in value, particularly if they are made and signed by the Original Artist, eh? If that Artist becomes better known then the value should increase accordingly, hence a potentially high re-sale value.

Anyways, I'll post some pics of what I bought, make ya savor yer childhood memories...Lokmar!

NONE of that has anything to do with your accusation about the way Walt treated his customers

Same here, went there all the time when I was a kid. I loved that big tree you would climb up in, the tunnels from Tom Sawyer Island to that fort in Frontierland, but most of all I loved riding the skyway to Tomorrowland for Monsanto's Adventure Thru Inner Space...

Funny we're talking about Disneyland as that reminds me of one particular trip... I guess I was about 12 years old and I went into a gift shop on main street... one of my favorite things to get were slide sets of Disneyland that you would view on your slide projector at home (oh god I'm old)... anyway they had a barrel there with things in it that looked like slides but were much larger... I asked what they were and the lady said "Oh those are original animation frames that were used in the production of several Disney films, they're selling for a dollar each". I looked through them and saw frames from Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty but didn't buy any because I thought "Nah they won't fit in my projector so I can't look at them".

Sure wish I had those originals now.

My favorite thing there was getting a mint julep. They dont have them at Disney World.

The rides at Disneyland blow Disney Worlds Magic Kingdom out of the water. Even at 50+, I still like Mr. Toad, Alice In Wonderland, Peter Pan, Etc. We used to watch the craftsmen make stuff out of glass and that was cool. I also loved Inner Space. I wish they would have kept it and got rid of the carousel of progress! The tea cups in Cali are better IMO. They still have Fort Wilderness operating in Florida but they closed the one in Cali down because the real wood timbers decayed. I like Indiana Jones at Disneyland. They have a similar land at Animal Kingdom Florida but its based off time travel and the dinosaurs dying by a comet... Not as good.

The Haunted Mansion is way better in Cali IMO or maybe its because I got ingrained to it in my childhood. You actually get on an elevator. In Florida, you dont. The Pirates Ride is 2X better in Cali. Right off the bat, you get the view of the Blue Bayou Restaurant and there's 2 drops plus the ride overall is a bit longer. When I was a kid, we got stuck on the incline going back up and had to disembark. AWESOME.

The biggest fail at Disneyland is not bringing back the People Mover after they got rid of the Rocket Rods. They still have the People Mover in Florida and its the best! Nothing like a long ride, sitting down to relax after walking your ass off!

I don't know if they were a good buy or not. It wasn't even the original backgrounds images.

Just thought what the heck.

Don't think I'll buy too many of them tho.

Disney lost over $600 million from just 4 movies in 2023 after year of epic flops.]

Topping the list of flops was "The Marvels," a project that checked a lot of boxes for the film studio as a diverse, female-led and directed superhero movie. Unfortunately, the movie's $218 million in revenues was overshadowed by a $270 million production budget along with over $100 million in advertising. It crossed the finish line with an estimated $237 million loss.

"Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" was yet another heartache for both the studio and fans of the franchise. With reports of rewrites and reshoots after leaked storylines angered fans, it was hard to imagine the film could turn around the negative hype.

Add on a reported $80 million in post-production costs to de-age Harrison Ford, and it's no surprise the film made the list.

The expenses totaled $300 million in production, $120 million in ads, and another $96 million in residuals, distribution, and overhead. The film lost about $143 million according to Deadline, meaning even showing Indiana Jones with his true face for the film's entirety couldn't have saved it.

Disney's "Wish" suffered terrible reviews and went relatively unnoticed even to Disney's most critical observers.

$300 million in production and advertising easily dwarfed its box office and streaming numbers, leaving the studio with -$131 million.

The animated film about the production company's own legacy wasn't the biggest hit with young girls who likely expected a better storyline for a Disney princess. The report described the movie as reeking of corporate product with nothing magical about it.

Keeping in line with strange movie ideas, Disney's "Haunted Mansion" is the studio's second foray into making a movie based around its theme-park attraction of the same name. While the Eddie Murphy-led 2003 iteration seemingly performed very poorly, it still outshined the 2023 film.

The 2003 flick saw a global box office of $182 million, but 20 years later, the new version could only make $117 million. Against a $150 million production budget, the totals were again not on Disney's side with $117 million in losses.

In total, that left Disney with an estimated $628 million in losses from just four movies.

LOL! I love it!

I always go to Universal Parks when I'm in Florida. They're growing much faster than Disney. Disneys main focus has been building hotels, ruining Splash Mountain when they should have just added a new ride for their black princess, failing with the Star Wars Hotel, shoving kweirdo catering in our faces, etc. What a fucking waste!

Seeing the movies fail is awesome but watching Universal get ready to overtake them in the theme park arena is fantastic!!!!

Disney will not likely get a crushing boycott of anything they produce like Anheuser-Busch did.

No, not even. However, this is an epic win for Universal! Disney fucking itself has allowed Universal to nearly double its capacity and they're actually adding rides unlike Disney. They need to work on their food options in the park tho. Food at Universal sucks.

My older kids live in Orlando so I have a yearly pass to Universal. We sometimes go to Disney resorts to eat or Downtown Disney for food and/or shopping but I have no desire to go to the parks there....maybe once every several years if somethings new, but then I'm over it.

I will take your word for it.

No interest in visiting any amusement park ever again...

However, I want to take my daughter to the cinema for the newest Mad Max movie because she's never been before, those venues are dying, and it's the impetus for her to watch the Mad Max/Road Warrior movies beforehand.

I want her to see what is happening and will happen in all Western states.
