Eisner did oversee 20+ Ticket increases from 1984-2005, so not exactly shy about needing to increase and maximize profits.I know some had issues with how Eisner ran things.... but he built two theme parks a number of new resorts and helped expand both MK and Epcot.
Iger is the one I blame more for the corporate mentality of always needing to increase and maximize profits. How can we make more money... without it costing us anything? Hey let's charge for parking at the resorts... they do that in big cities all the time. Let's build a whole new "land" with a couple of new attraction... we can close a couple of attractions and cut operational cost and then charge extra for the new attractions... YoY.
Chapek has gotten in there and to make it seem like he is doing a good job... he has to cut cost and raise prices so they can show an improvement in profits. And let's face it with TV, Film and now streaming all taking a hit.... Parks and Resorts us the CASH COW he has to milk.
CEO work for investors, not customers...
I have noticed less staffing issues on my last trip at attractions and restaurants... at least what you can see. But still issues getting attractions going in the morning - is that not enough staff for operations? Or not enough staff and spending on maintenance?
