Creator's Key Takeaways
When I came back three years ago, I had a tremendous amount that needed fixing.
I was reminded how great the potential is to build in that part of the world because not only is it strategically located to reach a huge population, they have never visited our parks.
Iger said the Walt Disney Company is in much better shape than it was three years ago because we have done a lot of fixing, but we've also put in place a number of opportunities.
