Iger Defies Gravity...


I was aiming to put this story up the other day but as usual, life gets in the way...

Bob Iger spoke with USA Today about running the Walt Disney Company and he discussed how the Mouse's tourism business is flying high.

Give it a read...

Disney may get hurt, but Disney is the brand when it comes to big-ticket tourism. While everyone will get hurt, Disney will get hurt the least. Lots of folks will cut out a variety of expensive vacations in order to save the money for a Disney trip. I know. I'm one of 'em: going to Orlando next April, despite the fact I'm hurtin' for cash. What little I got, Disney will be getting a chunk of it.

Because they are Disney.

Universal Studios Orlando? Not so much. More than enough to do at Disney, and I'm much more interested in taking my little girls through Disney (first time for one, third for the oldest) than hitting Seaworld or Busch Gardens, so if something has to go, it's going to be all the peripheral expenses. We'll find time, and what money we can, to do Disney right.
