Creator's Key Takeaways

I might have hired him. If I didn't hire him, I certainly approved the hiring of Chapek back in the day.
The parks have gotten expensive. I totally agree with that statement.
Josh Dearo has a chance to be the bridge between Iger's blockbuster era and a new era that strengthens Disney's foundation while still dreaming big.
