Disney CFO Makes Bizarre Comment About Guest's Waistlines | DIS Unplugged | 11/16/21

Editorial Summary

The hosts of the DIS Unplugged show discuss a controversial comment made by a Disney CFO during a recent earnings call. The CFO suggested that reducing portion sizes to combat inflation could benefit guests' waistlines, a remark that many interpreted as fat shaming. The creators argue that the lack of an apology from Disney indicates a deeper issue of disdain for their fan base. They express frustration with the trend of increasing prices while simultaneously decreasing the value of the guest experience, noting that Disney seems to be prioritizing other ventures like Disney Plus over its theme parks. The discussion also compares the current Disney experience to competitors like Universal, noting that Universal appears more in tune with its audience. The hosts conclude by discussing the potential for fan burnout and the possibility that organized consumer shifts, such as choosing different dining options or not renewing annual passes, could eventually force the company to change its policies.
