I think that the goal of Disney is to separate the fools from their money. They would love to continue to take your money but since there are far too many more fools out there that like the woke SJW atmosphere than there are that are sick of it... they will keep taking the money from the fools that are lapping up their new attitude.

I enjoyed going as a kid, but once I realized how expensive it was to go, I never thought it was worth it again.

By calling people “fragile” for disagreeing with or not enjoying something, you hope to shame them into feeling like a wuss and shutting up. But - if you and your friends are out at the gay bar, and the bartender hands you some anti-gay bible verse with your Cosmopolitan, are you fragile for not being happy about it? Or will you disagree, maybe tell them your opinion, complain to management that it’s ruining your experience, and eventually stop going if nothing changes?

You like football. One of the things you like about it is its physicality.

If football went to flags instead of tackle, would you be "fragile" for being disappointed?

I agree, but I often wonder how people fine it relaxing or like a fantasy or whatever turns them on. Like you in the park with a gazillion other obnoxious sweaty people.

No freaking way I am going to spend the amount of money they are requiring to go to Woke World. Never again.

Us either. We went 3 years ago and spent way too much money, but it was still Disney as kids should see it. Now everything is a virtue signal.
And I heard it costs around $15K to go now. Definitely more than 3 years ago

It could be that I'm on this board daily, but it feels like the average person has finally had enough of the bull shite and lack of reality.


This board is fairly conservative but there is a certain amount of weirdness in having a major corporation which advertises how woke they are.

This stuff isn't even widely popular among average democrats. I can't help but think it does damage to the corporation in the long run.

Are average democrats cool with riots and open boarders and the end of fossil fuels, and critical race theory?

Universal studios is so much better but if you have young kids or grandkids than Disney is better

Disney 2-10 years old
Universal 11+

I'd guess this will have very little impact on Disney. Sure, some may decide to not go, but not enough to make any appreciable impact on Disney's numbers. People like to talk big on the internet on boycotting and whatnot, but when it comes down to it, most don't follow through.

I wonder why Disney is going so woke. Do black people and transgenders folks go to disney?


Yes, there’s a whole unofficial pride week (maybe weeks) in June (we’ve gone during that time)

And plenty of blacks go. Don’t see why they wouldn’t.

end of fossil fuels


I mean, what do you think powers the plants that generate the electricity for cars. Even with that route, pollution and energy statistics go down in general, making it overall more efficient. You're not going to have everything powered off nuclear, algae, and wind. Fossil fuels will generate power on the side, probably a good chunk of it.


Oilfield work will never go away and don't let a democrat scare you into thinking that. Neither will natural gas.

Pirates used to be one of my favorite attractions. My family would always ride it first on our first day at the Magic Kingdom. Now, we do not even ride it every trip. When my family rides Pirates now, each of the changed scenes takes us out of the illusion because they remind us of reality and the politics that forced the changes.


They changed Pirates?

THEY CHANGED PIRATES????

They auction off a chicken at the whore house instead of a woman, because that makes so much sense
