Disney CEO Bob Iger visits Walt Disney World in Florida: 'Had a great visit'
"Had a great visit to @WaltDisneyWorld this week and I'm always so inspired by our spectacular cast members, who bring such talent and dedication to everything they do," Iger wrote in a tweet
Disney CEO Bob Iger was in Florida this week and spent some time visiting the Walt Disney World theme parks, possibly his first visit since his return to lead The Walt Disney Company.
"Had a great visit to @WaltDisneyWorld this week and I'm always so inspired by our spectacular cast members, who bring such talent and dedication to everything they do," Iger wrote in a tweet, followed by an image of him with a group of cast members, which is how Disney refers to its employees.
Iger was reportedly with Josh D'Amaro, Chairman, Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, and Jeff Vahle, the president of Walt Disney World. Reports and sightings of Iger being in the parks began to appear on social media earlier in the week.
Bob Iger rolls back theme park price hikes under Bob Chapek
The Walt Disney Co. under new boss Robert Iger is scrapping some price hikes at Disney theme parks that were put in place by his ousted predecessor.
Visitors to Disney theme parks in Orlando, Fla., and Anaheim, Calif., will no longer be charged to download photos of themselves on rides, the memo said. They will still have to pay for the pictures if they want them printed.
On most dates with the highest demand, Disney charges $179 for adults. But now the company says it will increase the number of days that $104 tickets will be available to two months out of the year.
Iger also scrapped the parking fees he instituted for guests at Disney-run hotels who drive to the theme parks.
The price to enter Disney World, where the most expensive ticket costing $159 was raised to $189 last month, will remain in place. Disney also raised the prices of its passes and its Genie Plus line-skipping add-on at Disneyland last year.
