When Disney brought Bob Iger back as CEO last November, he brought with him a sense of hope that many had been missing. Iger’s predecessor (and successor) Bob Chapek was seen by some as the CEO who raised prices (not unique to Chapek, for the record), got rid of free FastPasses, and took the Magical Express away from us.

So when the much-loved Iger returned, fans were ready for changes — and changes we got. But, even Iger can’t stop a looming potential recession from happening and recently said that Disney is not recession-proof — meaning anything from your Friday night Disney+ movie lineup to your next trip to the parks could be different.

Alright, Disney CEO Bob Iger has got to be under some serious pressure right now! Many Disney fans were excited when he returned to the company in November 2022, but keep in mind that Iger only agreed to two years in this role. This only leaves Disney fans and stakeholders to wonder… who is going to take his place?

Loungefly!

Ears in Disney World
Some people collect Minnie ears or Loungefly bags, while others have Christmas ornaments or mugs.

Free parking is back at Disney World’s hotels, a Park Pass change has been announced, a massive restructuring of the Company has been revealed to fix a Bob Chapek “mistake,” and Iger has hinted at some other changes that could mark a “stark reversal in strategy” at the Company. Now, he’s discussed another matter where he and Chapek might not have necessarily seen eye to eye.
