News Round Up 2018

Read this story and its very interesting. Seems to contradict many of the prevailing theme's here on the DIS boards about Iger's leadership style.


What do you see as the prevailing thought on his leadership style? I think he is an excellent CEO that has a vision for the company and is thinking ahead - sort of like the whole "the best defense is a good offense" strategy

Not always a fan of how he treats the parks - yes, lots of investments now but also seems to want the parks to always make up for shortcomings elsewhere and you see the cutback and price increases, etc. .... also wish they would add some new attractions that weren't IP based but he seems big on synergy and can't necessarily blame him for that
 
Unless all other dining is in for sky high increases this month...

Further comments about the Artist Point conversion:

They are doing this for the same reason they do everything else - to make more money. Artists point was probably not the most popular of Signature restaurants. There was no great view or convenient location like a lot of the other deluxe resorts. Conversion to a character restaurant - which traditional pack them in with 180 advance ADRs is an easy choice. BUT, they still aren't going to cut back their income. So they aren't going to drop to a single credit service price (which is now what about $40) or to using one credit on the dining plan. The ONLY way this happens is if they leave it at 1 TS credit initially so they can gauge popularity. (It's still not a great accessible location.) However, based on the menu and pricing - I think it extremely unlikely it start at 1 TS.
 
pretty big increase at Biergarten - especially for lunch .... though one could argue compared to similar options, it was a bit underpriced

I wonder if the lunch and dinner menus are the same at Biergarten now. The sauerbraten, at least, used to be dinner only. If I'm paying the same for lunch and dinner it better have the same food.
