Few brands are more valuable than that owned by the shareholders of The Walt Disney Company, one that now is being shattered.. In 2020, Forbes rated it as number seven in the world in value. But I think this may actually understate the standing of the Disney brand. Few people would want to take a vacation at a Google resort or take a Microsoft cruise, but the allure of Disney’s brand is enough to attract vacationers from all over the world. Disney theme parks exist in the United States (2), France, China (2), and Japan, and these attract visitors from many other countries, many bringing their children along

They won't be doing this in China. China will make demands and Disney will fold. Just like Google, Facebook, Twitter and the NBA.
I'll personally never visit a park again.

Why don't shareholder start suing these Board of Directors and CEO's for failure of fiduciary responsibilities when they come out "woke" which damages the brand, thus losing money! The only responsibility of a corporation is to ethically make money for share holders!

I suppose Disney will next have scantily clad 10 year olds twerking for the public in Tranny World. This insanity needs to stop and the people who push it need to be fired and brought up on charges of grooming minors

I HAD wanted to take my grandkids to Disney - not anymore. I just don't understand how so many companies think their mission is anything but making money. Taking political and what most of the population see as immoral stands only devalues the brand and jeopardizes profits. The NY Times is privately owned - maybe they don't care with the loss of journalistic stature. But the number of publicly traded companies who have betrayed their shareholders is astounding. Go woke - go broke - its what I hope.

Disney is going from the Magic Kingdom to the Tragic Kingdom. Don't do this to kids!

"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls" is performative, presentened by Disney "cast members."
"Friends" spoken by adults to children is predatory.

I hope the pendulum swings back to sanity. Disney has so much potential to be a source of good in the world , again.
Was a single-digit age group kid in the 70s and loved the Disney movies on TV and at theater.

I remember going to Disneyland in the 60s and listening to “It’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow”.
That Tomorrow has turned into crap at Disney. When I see Mickey Mouse I want to get a mouse trap out.

Frankly, after seeing what Iger and Jar Jar Abrams and Kathleen Kennedy did to the Lucasfilm\Star Wars brand its wonderful to see Disney implode like this and I hope it keeps happening until they all are shriveled bits on the floor of the Devils lair. There was a reason why JRR Tolkien refused to sell Disneythe rights to film LOTR and now we see why. J look at how the JJ acolytes at Amazon have screwed up the LOTR stories (a black dwarf and gender switching)

I was so terrorized by "It's a Small World" ringing in my ears for decades after my only visit to Disney World with my grandparents in the 70's that my wife and I never took our kids. They turned out fine. My only regret now is that now I won't be able to boycott them since I was never going there again anyway.

They believe that they have created an addiction that has to be fed. They just might be right for the blinded parents whose goal is to make their children happy, at all cost.

I believe Walt created a magic that not even cretins like Chapek can destroy, try as they may. Admittedly, a rotten element seems to have weaseled their way into the company ranks, and Chapek and other top execs are either in alignment with them or too frightened to stand up to them. Contrary to #3, I just bought a few shares. Conservatives en masse need to do likewise and get a foothold in the company and start exerting pressure on the company, starting with ousting Chapek and bringing in someone with the fortitude to stand up to the radical perverts who have seized control of Disney's corporate policy.

If the goal is to destroy capitalist,
do you know a better way than
to introduce a transgenderism/pedo poison pill?
The comments here suggest
the plan is working very well...

They should change the lyrics to their theme song.
"It's a gay world after all"
Bet they are overpriced too.
Why would I go to this place?

I wonder what would be the psychological difference between transgenderism as promoted by the Dims and a cult, such as, eg, a UFO abduction cult? What is the tangible evidence for my vehement assertion that my genitalia are incongruous with the “true me” and my vehement assertion that i have been abducted by aliens since i was 11? What if i form a group based on my abduction experiences and we start lobbying the Dim party?

I'll bet most of their creative types are GAY - i.e. PIXAR which develops 100% of their online cartoon media. If they condemn PIXAR employees they shutdown their income stream for online media. I'll bet PIXAR is the part making most of the noise. Disney was planning to move 2000 creative jobs from the west coast HQ to Florida this year, but I'm guessing those people DO NOT want to move to Red Conservative Florida and live under the laws of Governor DeSantis. This new law is an excuse to make noise and stop or delay that move. If so, Disney needs to dump PIXAR ASAP and not allow the 1% to influence the company. If they lose park employees, they can be replaced. I'm betting they cant afford to lose their GAY cartooner's which nets hundreds of millions in Disney Plus streaming services.

Walt Disney is rolling in his grave. This beautiful park was for children to enjoy their young years dreaming. Now, they are being bombarded with perverts and social justice maniacs. As an adult, I don't want to have people in my face because they prefer to have sex with their horse or whatever.
As an aside, it seems that over 80% of people who were convinced to go through expensive and I am sure emotional turmoil to be physically transition have regretted doing so to the point where many have committed suicide. A 5 year-old should not be convinced that they are the wrong gender. Leave them alone!

I'll never go to Disney World again, that is a certainty. Not going to be going to any movies that they make, either.

It's been brewing for a while with Disney this didn't change overnight. The pervert Nazis took hold of Disney emerging at an opportune time not being subtle about it. The changing times, 'anything goes in public' in your face opened the demon door for the mentally ill perverts. Just imagine there is nothing that goes together like a young child and cartoons. The sickos at Disney owns that one so what a better way to create a 'happy hunting ground' target rich with fresh victims and dumb down parents. How can a woman be so lucky to just happen to have one transgender child and one pangender child (whatever that is)? The adult mother is the mentally ill one in this. I'm older with grown children and grandchildren so Disney will never see a dollar spent from our family, but I feel sorry for the young parents raising children who might desire to visit or view a Disney cartoon choose wisely people.

Articles like this are why I don't insult Walt's name by calling them Disney. They willingly morphed into the Devil Mouse, and are so deeply entrenched in children's programming that they are going to be a hard monster to battle. They make their mental poisons so tasty that it is going to be a hard addiction for parents to give up.

Disney wants to be more "inclusive" so they are dropping "boys and girls?" Seems to me "hello boys and girls" includes all children!

Let's face it, evil academia has been pumping out America-hating freaks for years, and they OWN so many of our institutions, simply by their numbers. Name a business or industry that hires university grads and I'll show you an American-hating, communist friendly business or gov't agency that could care less about go woke - go broke.

That sound one hears is the sound of travel agent phones ringing off the hook with cancellations to Disney World. In retrospect, when I visited Disney World forty years ago, it never occurred to me that a place like Disney World is exactly the kind of place gays would flock to. It's all fantasy all the time. Much like the lives of so many gay people. Especially the really flamboyant ones. It's a place where reality has a hard time fitting in.

Yeah, Disney has a death wish.
But it is US that they want to die.
Their executives are all pedophile WEF / Georgia Guidestones followers.

I was wondering WTH pansexual” meant (one Disney executive says she has a pansexual child and a transsexual child- yikes) Here is what I found. Obviously Prevention magazine does not see this as being preventable.

They have been dead to me since they started "gay days" at their parks.
They need to dig up Walt's grave and put a belt around his body and hook the other end up to a generator. The rate at which he must be spinning in his grave at how the evil perverts have corrupted his company must have him turning in his grave so fast that they could power most of Florida that way!!!!
I'm beginning to seriously think that the state legislature in Florida should put a XXX rating on Disney World and only allow adults over 18 to enter.

I guess we can figure out why so many of those Disney child stars are screwed up so badly; addicted to drugs, boinking everything that moves, getting arrested regularly. They are graduates of the pedophile grooming school. Now they are too old and on their own.

I recall the ads showing smiling grandparents at Disney World trying to shame the old folks into forking over big bucks to take the grandkids to see the Mouse. Never worked on us. We put the money into their college savings account. It’s a monumental ripoff now. I will never spend a dime on any Disney product. FMICKEY.
