Subject: Re: DISNEY
As a customer I've just spent 2 weeks as Disney World in August, the parks were humming, the new rides are excellent esp the Rise of the Resistance (Hollywood Studios) Star Wars and Avatar (Animal Kingdom) and Tron in Magic Kingdom. The Guardians of the Galaxy darkened coaster with it's twisting left me feeling green though.
The kids seem hooked and there's plenty of support from future generations.
The shows were particularly good, combing special effects, theatrics , dancing and music.
Merchandising / theming is excellent, they are also selling Lighting Lane tickets to maximize revenue, the resorts looked clean and fresh. Food consumed in the parks was excellent all round, fairly priced and enjoyed by all. Lots of variety too.
Other than that an exceptional mix of the old and new in terms of rides and theming.
I last went during the Great recession and it was dead.... Although the max que time was 5 mins (a plus) then the experience was better this time and the parks seem greatly improved. They have to be on their game with new rides as newer generations are used to immersive VR type gaming.
I've also recently watched the entire 8 Star Wars movies on Disney Plus recently and the content is superb including all the Marvel films.
All round I think Disney are doing a great job and will do well once they sort out their media.
Enjoyable scuttlebutt and accumulating stock and anticipating c$150 by 2027.
