BOB CHAPEK meets WALT DISNEY | And Now, Bob Chapek is Fired! Awesome!

Bob Chapek is Fired and Bob Iger is coming back! Nothing could make me happier!

Walt Disney meets Bob Chapek is a funny animated film. It's a small world, Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, even Storybookland are all in great danger created by current Disney Magic, er, management. Talk about D23 !

#Disneyland and #Disney World are now charging separately to go on the rides, thanks to #Bob Chapek, Disney CEO. Walt Disney would be horrified by this - not because #WaltDisney didn't charge for rides, but because he wasn't nickel and diming guests inside Disneyland and Disney World.

Share and start a discussion about Disney's management monetizing the Disney Parks to death!

I was fortunate enough to go to Disneyland all the time when I was a child. Now I think about the family of 4, who have just scraped together enough money to make the trip. $900 for the hotel, $800 for admission, $200 for food and drink. After all that, they're hit up for the hidden expenses, $80 for Genie +, $120 paying for individual attractions. Both of which are really required to have that one perfect day with your family. Many people don't have the money to go back again and again. But they have kids, and Disneyland is almost a childhood requirement.

Disney has had many creative people at #imagineering managing it over the years, but now it's accountants and lawyers, and there's no attention being paid to the value and trust in the brand "Disney". All design and creativity is being dictated by market research and accumulated data. Bob Chapek has taken it to a new level. Robert Iger is also responsible, but he wisely allowed his creative people to make creative decisions.

And everything here is being planned for the Disney Parks. Walt Disney World has launched, and Disneyland Paris is already charging individual fees for all their formerly fast pass attractions - including Peter Pan's Flight. This is really about management's nickel and dimming customers at every turn. It's one thing to charge a high admission fee (and of course, they do), and quite another thing for them to be hitting up guests constantly for basic things they've always been able to do. Guests are being treated as ATMS. "I''d like to withdraw another 20 please".

This or similar programs are happening at Walt Disney World, and Disneyland Paris.

It's true that Walt Disney mortgaged his home and sold his life insurance to build Disneyland. His brother Roy was very hesitant in his support of Disneyland, and his wife Lillian said "Why would you build an amusement park? They're so dirty". He was also famous for asking everyone to call him Walt. So when he asks Bob to call him Mr. Disney, he's showing his disdain. I used a little Adobe After Effects, which operates very much like the multi-plane camera Disney created in the 30's.

Artwork was created for Rise of the Resistance, Peter Pan's Flight, Storybookland, it's a small world, and Jungle Cruise.
