If it takes them half a decade to build a clone coaster, they need to announce more solid plans about what's in the works yesterday.

The audacity for Iger and D’Amaro to say that IP-driven attractions are what has boosted attendance at the parks is laughable and shows how out of touch they are with actual Disney fans, who they will be bringing in less of over time.

[@RiverRev]

It doesn't seem like a lot of money. After paying for three(?) more cruise ships and dividing it among all of the parks over a 10 year period, it seems like we'll get a lemonade stand. I think that's why the stock went down. I think investors wanted to see more from the leadership.

[@GLJosh]

Wakanda lemonade stand, need to squeeze some IP in there.

[@lukelovell1055]

You’re right but I think it’s five ships not three at $1 BILLION apiece then adjust for inflation. This is really only about 45 billion spread out among all the parks etc.

[@Millionaire2K]

@@jonny-b4954 well investors don't care that just the parks are doing fine. The entire company is what matters. Just because parks are doing well doesn't mean you can spend freely in the parks. Spending on the parks needs to fuel growth in that division, this is why they were explaining why they plan to spend $60B over 10 years. Right now is not a good time to spend on low ROI projects as it don't help the company as a whole. I agree that new monorails are needed, I just don't think now is the time to spend that $. Spend everything on paying down debt and on high ROI projects.

[@havfunwithit]

The workers actually called them the monofails. I got stuck on them twice in one week missing a dinner reservation. It took two hours to get from a theme park back to Fort Wilderness and missed the dinner show. I would never book a hotel on a monofail route.

[@jacobsekela8691]

If Universal's Epic Universe doesn't absolutely terrify Disney into turning around and ACTUALLY fixing their mistakes, then I don't know what will. I've loved Disney my whole life, and I grew up with it, but for the first time ever I'm almost glad to see them fail - they need to be knocked down a peg or two and have some sense smacked into them. The parks have been a complete disaster since the pandemic and they haven't gotten any better.

[@danielramsey1959]

No way Disney can beat Universal now, they have proven beyond any doubt how much they are out of touch and are blindly focussed on corporate greed.

[@NeonGhostin]

This is called "saying something to stay relevant". This is a clear sign that Disney is terrified of what Universal is doing. Listing how IPs have boosted interest in the Disney parks, while their neighbor is building an entirely new IP based theme park, that is not a coincidence. The longer it takes Disney to admit they have a problem, the worse the lies are going to get. Next it will be "But what if; we build an entirely new, 5 gate, indoor resort in Antarctica"

[@ascallednobody]

[@jeanettesmith765]

@@davidantunez4147 Universal just does not match up to the quality of Disney; I don't care how many rides they build.

[@AppleGaming4Real]

Disney is not worried at all. They are clearly show it by not doing anything out of the ordinary. Everything planned was something that was expected to happen at some point or is the usual new thing. They don't really need to worry because tbh a lot of the universal parks are quickly aging and it looks ugly. Islands of Adventure, their strongest park is definitely showing its age between toon lagoon, jurassic park and Dr. Seuss. Universal is forcing in the same IP in 3 different parks. Universal still has problems with mostly screen based rides. This new park will cool, does not really scare Disney. The IP isn't incredible for a new park, the How to Train Your Dragons land is coming out about 8 years too late, Universal Monsters is strong but doesn't appeal to kids, Nintendo is easily the flagship, and no one cares about Fantastic Beasts enough for a whole land, it was just a desperate attempt to shoehorn more Harry Potter. (The Universal Cash Cow). Universal doesn't have the IP to build much themselves, every big and major land they do is someone else's IP that they had to buy. That's exactly why Disney isn't as terrified as people think they should be.

[@michellec9170]

I’m not sure that more investment in the US parks will continue to drive increased attendance. None of their proposed additions are highly anticipated by guests. We are tired of IP instead of true Imagineering projects.

Everything Disney has done at Disneyland recently has been pretty successful. The retheme of the former Aladdin's Oasis spot to Tropical Hideaway, Galaxys Edge, the new Tiana's Palace makeover of the former restaurant space, the new ToonTown makeover, etc. Disneyland is as busy and profitable as ever. Many times demand exceeds capacity. Adding stuff like Frozen would push that demand into overdrive.

Next Disney Announcement: A new ride system that uses smoke and mirrors to make the rider think they are in all of these new lands and attractions they keep throwing out!

[@Daisy-cj3og]

I'll believe it when I see it. Honestly, I think they need to fix the amount of time guests are waiting in lines for tides and refurbish and modernize current ones so they stop breaking down so much. If park attendance is down, then why are wait times so dang long? I hope they really think about a cohesive fit when rethemeing a land or expanding at the park.

[@outatime8560]

The lines are so long because despite being the most visited theme park in the world Disney World has 3 theme parks with 10 rides or less. Instead of adding new rides which increases capacity at parks like AK, HS, and Epcot they have mostly just rethemed existing rides never adding the capacity to my desperately need. Not to mention the ridiculous genie plus system that clogs up the standby line

[@squidward_tentpoless]

they also are probably understaffed everywhere bc they don’t want to pay to have the right amount of cast members in the parks

I was in line for rise of the resistance for 2 hours. Usually its about an hour. But I found out they keep letting all lighting lane and Genie plus users go. And they make standby wait for way too long. They need to up their game.

$60 billion over 10 years, $6 billion a year, divided by 12 parks and and 50ish hotels and 7 cruise ships. And how much of that is refreshment of existing hotels and attractions. Nice to see them spending but depends on how smart that spending is. Are they going to build more Galactic Starcruiser busts or more Tokyo DisneySea home runs? What Josh should do is stop with all these "how about this IP" expansions to existing parks that are already crowed and tell Imagineering to clone DisneySea but even bigger and better in WDW. Even if it is $20 billion on one park, it will be more worth it than Encanto land.

[@brianscott9749]

Here’s an idea…back in the day, Walt would show the development of Disneyland on tv/ABC. Why don’t they do the same thing for all these expansion plans? Show the design, development and building of all the different lands and attractions on Disney+. The Imagineering Story was a hit for Disney+, I’m sure fans would stream to see what was coming. This is really a no brainer….!

[@TimothyLavallee]

Brandon, excellent reporting. This whole thing is window dressing to show that the company is profitable and has strong real estate, IP, and experiences that create financial value. Some of that is directed at institutional investors, but more likely this is marketing in preparation for negotiating a sale. The question is when do they announce it? I'd guess it is less about timing as it is about stock price. The stock is hold steady in the $80-$90 range. I would suggest that once it drops below some threshold, that will put the company value at a point that a buyer will be announced. When that happens, don't be surprised if the legacy TV properties go to one buyer and the parks, studios, and Disney+ stay together with the other buyer. You might also see the resorts sold to a holding company and licensed to an operator similar to how Disney does deals in other countries.

[@Millionaire2K]

I think the COVID layoffs at disney imagineering is causing the majority of the issues with getting projects started. It takes time to develop a plan from an idea to shovel ready. We saw that 1st hand with Pandora. The lay offs created a void in development. I think they're trying to flesh out the ideas so they can get to work. I also think that is why "reskins" of attractions are the ez go to in the mean time.

[@xavierm3415]

Great point. A bit like the refurbishment of Disney Hotels are given to outside companies. That's why they don't look like Disney Themed hotels anymore...

[@thewalkingdad68]

The problem with a reskin is that there's no growth. Without growth, you're not gaining capacity. More capacity=more money $$$$. The problem with magic kingdom is that it's the most visited park on the planet. If you look at the entire WDW resort, magic kingdom has more rides and attractions than all of the other parks combined. Disney should be focusing on the other parks and increasing capacity at those parks by increasing new lands and attractions. But they're not. But I can tell you that they don't have the money to do anything. The putrid state of the parks says all you need to know. Disney is dying and gasping for the last few breaths. I'm here to watch it die...the death it deserves.

[@Millionaire2K]

@@thewalkingdad68 Again, you can't just say "hey let's expand AK" and the next day construction starts. It normally takes a few years of development to get a project ready to start construction. Disney does not want to just do reskins, theses are temporary answers to try to maintain attendance while the expansion projects are being figured out. Again, the COVID layoffs set back development of projects about 2-3 years. This is not Six Flags were they would just call up and order some rides.

[@cadendicky1855]

I still want a whole new 5 park at Disney world, I know it's a long-shot, but I feel like it would work so well since they would have a new sandbox to play in and not be constrained to the other parks.

[@ninjagirl226]

Ok I’ve listened to a few videos about this and I have a few different takes on this. 1. This is less than previously largely due to inflation 2. They keep saying their investing but I feel like we see more out of Six Flags than Disney 3. They keep canceling projects midway or they announce big ideas like the Main Street theater or Mary Poppins ride and never deliver so giving a dollar amount or even project announcement means very little until they break ground. And even then look at Epcot. 4. I’m starting to wonder if this 60 billion largely cast member salary idk Either way it’s a pessimistic outlook.

[@tech34756]

I wont be surprised if we dont see anything substantial/of substance unless Universal sees a significant boost in attendance and a drop at WDW. Disney may be hoping that Epic Universe isn't that much of a draw, so rather than investing now, they can just save the money.

[@opchick0597]

Lets be totally honest, Disney has become an entirely different company over the past 15 years. The cleanliness is down considerably, the price gouging has gotten ridiculous especially with adding Genie+ and the laughable restaurant reservation system. They can't seem to complete anything within a reasonable amount of time. Universal is completing an entire park plus 3 hotels in the time Disney took to complete 2 rides, one of which is an exact duplicate from another park. They just got all parks trams operating from the parking lots, for goodness sakes. We used to be annual visitors, now its every 3-4 years. Its really shameful what the CEO and board members have made of a once proud company.

[@rrrrrrtt1]

Thanks for the great news! :)

[@mahall85]

Does that dollar figure account for current projects on the books (like Tiana’s or the Poly DVC Tower), or is this IN ADDITION TO those expenditures? Does that dollar figure also account for current (and potential future) inflation figures? I have an assumption about both answers, LOL…

I’m turning 67 next week and I don’t think I’ll live to see these plans come to fruition. The bear in Magic Kingdom is, for me, the most interesting thing I’ve heard about Disney in a long time. I wish I could get into the Tiana retheming of Splash Mountain, but I can’t go on that ride any more because of the drop. And if it’s like GotG, you can’t even experience the queue theming without dealing with a virtual queue almost impossible to join, that exists for the roller coaster.

The announcement is an attempt to boost the stock after D23. But we haven't had the park announcements to explain what the money could be spent on.
