I hope they go out of business.

"According to a Wall Street Journal report, Walt Disney theme parks
are seeing a dip in attendance despite shorter wait times and more
discounts. Folks are choosing cruise ships and European vacations
over the House of Mouse.
From The Wall Street Journal:
Travel advisers and industry analysts say the slowdown is the latest
sign that Disney’s recent price hikes and changes to park
operations have soured some families on visiting the Most Magical
Place on Earth.
Disney faces a unique set of challenges right now, from streaming
losses to executive succession to a political and legal fight with
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Revenue from its parks division has long
been a bright spot for the company, buoying overall earnings. Disney
declined to comment on recent attendance.
…
“People might be a little bit fatigued with price increases based
on the economy at the moment,” Oprea says, noting that some
clients have considered cruise or beach vacations rather than
returning to Disney’s parks due to recent price increases.
At Disneyland, the company increased the cost of multiday tickets by
9% or more in October, with the price of a two-day ticket rising
from $255 per adult to $285.
To attract more visitors to Main Street U.S.A., Disney has rolled
out promotions, including discounts for return visits and savings of
up to 40% on rooms at some Disney World hotels for annual
passholders on certain days in December near Christmas, which is
typically one of the busiest and most expensive times to visit.
(Disney has offered discounts to passholders during that time period
in the past.)
Meanwhile, Disney isn’t faring much better at the box office, with
recent bombs like Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and
Elemental.
Disney lost $200,000,000 on Elemental alone.
Fox News contributor and OutKick founder Clay Travis shared the
story on Twitter.
“Disney World hit a ten year low in July 4th guests & company is
now discounting Christmas hotel rooms as attendance collapses at
parks. Combine this with ESPN disaster & movies losing money like
crazy & it’s now clear Disney is getting Bud Light’d.”

going woke. This caused a downturn in business, both at their theme
parks and their movies. In the wake of declining attendance, they
raised prices which runs counter to the law of supply and demand.
When demand drops you should be lowering prices.
Disney's market capitalization has been cut in half in a little more
than two years and shows no signs of making a recover. The Mouse
isn't dead, but he's pretty sick.
I can remember when it caused something of a scandal when Disney came
out with an R rated movie, the Devil and Max Devlin starring Bill
Cosby. It was the first time Disney produced a movie that wasn't G
rated. They would be wise to try to recapture the reputation they
once had. Disney needs to clean house at the very top, from the CEO
to the board of directors and replace them with people that will
return the company to what it once was.
What I can't figure out is why these mega companies don't learn from
other's mistakes? Budweiser is the poster child for going woke and
killing their market share yet other companies, like Target are doing
the same thing. It makes no sense.
