Commissar SFLUFAN Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Disney CEO Bob Chapek Pulled from Destination D23 Appearance Out of Fear Disney Fans Would Boo Him - WDW News Today WDWNT.COM A daily-updated resource for news and information on the Disney resort around the world. Quote When the presentations for this weekend’s Destination D23 event at Walt Disney World were posted back in July, the event was set to kick-off with an in-person welcome from Disney CEO Bob Chapek. This welcome was quietly removed from all announcements in the weeks following, and is now nowhere to be seen on the schedule. Since July, the CEO has been under scrutiny from a fair amount of people, from the Hollywood elite, to plain-old day guests at Disney theme parks around the world. Just days after the Destination D23 schedule went live, Scarlett Johansson filed lawsuit against the company. Disney announced Genie+ and Lightning Lane in August to the worst public scrutiny any parks announcement had ever met on the internet. In solidarity with Imagineers, many signed a petition to remove Chapek as CEO, even if the petition wasn’t very well put together. OLOLOLOLOLO - he should appear anyway and flip 'em a double-bird if the boos start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal-El814 Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 It’s truly unbelievable how cowardly so many of these executives are. Imagine being the CEO of a company that pays people to dress up as Disney characters and work crowds every goddamned day in the Florida heat… and you can’t get on stage and take some fucking boos?

I think it is the natural result of running organizations of this size. You begin to believe you are one of the few who could do it, and so it isn’t fair when the little people criticize you and your leadership. It is the sort of thing you have to actively fight against.

Oh yeah, this is a huge part of it despite the fact that the bolded is obviously not true and it almost never is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt. This is especially true of these massive legacy companies where so much of the machinery is in place and you just need to maintain it while cashing your massive bonus checks. This is actually why Chapek is a particularly numb guy. Iger left him a Disney in its most fit shape ever, and all he needed to do was wait out the worst of the pandemic and spin the money printers back up. But he took the pandemic as an opportunity to make the company his own, and nearly everything was received poorly, both internally and externally.

EternallDarkness Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 as I said on twitter he'd be more than happy to show up and be booed if he were allowed to impose an up charge to all attendees 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoberChef Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 At this point I'm just curious to know who the Chapek stans happen to be, the guy seems like a total tool. He doesn't even show up to the premieres of his films ffs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
