So is Disney in Orlando going tits up because of Florida's politics, or is your stock in Disney not doing as well as you'd like because of piss poor management.

Please define tits up in this particular context, so I can communicate properly at your level.

I suppose that is a foreign term to you, so you have 0 military background and no male genes.

Your application of the term didn’t fit the situation…which is why I asked for a definition “in this particular context”.

Or maybe you hope Disney goes tits up because you don’t like their politics. Could that be it?

ESPN Layoffs are Coming Soon — and nearly everyone is vulnerable

ESPN’s latest round of layoffs will have “no sacred cows,” meaning everybody from top on-air people to big-time executives are being scrutinized with the cuts expected to be finalized in the next four-to-six weeks, The Post has learned.

At the direction of ESPN chairman Jimmy Pitaro, heads of departments have been told to scrutinize their divisions to make them as efficient as possible. At this time, there is no target number for how many millions that ESPN must save or how many employees will be let go, according to sources.

ESPN declined comment.

In recent years, ESPN has spent heavily on top commentators, like Troy Aikman ($18 million per year), Joe Buck ($15 million per year) and Stephen A. Smith ($12 million per year) and they are still in add mode as they are in on the Pat McAfee sweepstakes, according to sources.

Meanwhile, the ESPN belt-tightening is already being felt in negotiations with college football national championship game-caller Chris Fowler. Fowler, who reportedly makes around $3 million per year, and ESPN have been far apart in negotiations, according to sources.

Report: Disney World in Orlando to Host Conference on Gay and Transgender Rights in the Workplace

disneypridecollection1-640x480.jpg


Walt Disney World in Orlando will reportedly host a conference on gay and transgender rights in the workplace, with thousands of people expected to attend the three-day summit in September.

Disney will play host to the annual Out & Equal Workplace Summit scheduled to take place September 12 to 14, according to a Miami Herald report. The conference will draw a large range of corporate executives, including HR professionals and DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) administrators from companies across the country.

The conference boasts several corporate sponsors, including Apple, Amazon, Uber, Walmart, and even Cracker Barrel. Disney has reportedly committed to hosting next year’s conference as well. Last year’s summit took place in Las Vegas.

As we descend deeper into the unBiblical cesspool, I'm beginning to wonder if certain things Putin says about the USA (and the west in general) is well-founded truth. A very sad state of affairs.

I live in central Florida. Disney isn't the be all end all. But if they went under, someone would fill the void. Universal would get bigger, Sea World would get bigger and maybe a new start up theme park would show up. Maybe more people would come over to the Space Coast and see actual space stuff instead of Disney fantasy

Outside of maybe Publix, Disney is our region’s #1 employer and easily the top attraction.

There’s no way I’m rooting against Disney based on the situational politics du jour.

I guess the right wing has added Disney to its list of things to hate. As part of that they always claim the hated place is doing badly economically when there is nothing further from the truth.

Maybe Disney the communication entity isn't doing as well, but I was reading an article that talked about how DisneyWorld is going to increase its already astronomical prices to reduce the crowds. If that's the case, it's not doing too badly.

Personal secret to getting your money's worth while staying on resort: stay on concierge level. It may cost an extra $150 a day but the food, drinks and club attendants (there to help make arrangements and handle problems just for club level guests) saves you a ton of money, just on the free bottles of water that they have out and iced down as you leave for the park. They provide hot breakfast, snacks all day, hot appetizers and self-service bar with desserts at night.

Best one for kids is in the Polynesian. Most laid back is Animal Kingdom Lodge. If you don't mind it being over $1000 a day, the most refined is Grand Floridian.

Our first family trip was 10 days after 9/11. No lines for anything.

Don't take the kids when they're 5 or younger. They won't remember any of it. At those prices they should remember something.
