Disney brought in only $11.8 billion this past year, and they're getting panicky. That's little more than half of what they usually take in. They will be releasing Mulan on Disney+, which costs about $5.00/mo. Once you sign up with Disney+, you'll have the opportunity to pay $29.99 to watch Mulan. I wonder how annoying the kids will have to get to force their parents to fork out $30 so they can watch a movie.

In actuality, $30 to see a movie, kids or adults is reasonable anymore. Driving to the theater, buying tickets, and getting snacks for a family of four can cost upwards of $50, often more. Staying home, watching in your jammies, home made snacks, not driving to a cinema and avoiding the crowds (and the coronavirus) is to me worth saving the extra. And it is more comfortable.

You can buy the DVD for $13.99 on Amazon and watch it as many times as you want.

In an unrivaled act of piracy, Disney "stole" much of the airspace above Disneyland. (Excuse: Disney claimed it could be used by Muslim terrorists)

If I am paying that much I will go to the theater - the popcorn is better.

Don't tell Disney!

I have no love for Disney. Years ago they were the premier vacation for families with kids. They used to be reasonably priced. Now they have predatory pricing. A family has to save at least 5 years to be able to pay $130 per day for admission. Most travels agents say stay away as there are better values elsewhere. Eating and staying in the park will bankrupt you. Been there done that 3x.

The stock market is looking good for Disney.

Our home made popcorn with real butter and some Parmesan cheese sprinkled over it is really much better than theater popcorn. IMHO

I wonder how many RPM Walt is doing in his grave about how his company and park(s) have changed?

That subject was on a news show earlier.
They have at least 6 movies ready for the theatres- that are not open.
Why aren't they streaming them? They are making no money on them. Most of these are somewhat topical, and interests- and reviews- will drop the longer they wait. You make a movie, someone else makes one like it, then there's a parody. If the first movie becomes the second, it''ll be an also ran.

AND $20 for parking! And people don't realize that by 2 in the afternoon the kids are going be tired of all the noise and action and lines - but the parents, having spent $120 per person - are gonna drag those d*%$&^%&^ kids to every last dang attraction! We always thought we would love to have an Advil kiosk at Disney - by 4 PM all the parents start to look like they have headaches!

We went to Disneyland in 2000. It cost the three of us $557. I don't recall if that was for one day or more.
