The Disney Legacy Continues

By Parkopia

The grandchildren of Walt Disney issue a letter in support of CEO Bob Iger and the current leadership against activist investors, reminding shareholders of the company's unique legacy of creating magical experiences.

As experts on Disney World, we couldn't agree more with the recent letter of support from the grandchildren of both Roy O. and Walt Disney. As they remind us, Disney is not just a company that makes widgets - it makes magic. And it takes dedicated leaders with a deep respect for the company's legacy to continue creating the incredible experiences that touch people's hearts.

Growing up with a front row seat to the Disney magic, the grandchildren of Roy O. Disney have seen firsthand the passion behind creating life-long memories for children and families. They commend CEO Bob Iger and the Board of Directors for staying true to this tradition, balancing creativity with profitability to continue making Disney a beloved household name.

But as the family warns, there are those who seek to harm the company's integrity for their own gain. These so-called "activist investors" lack a true understanding and appreciation of Disney's core values, seeing it simply as a means to turn a profit. This is a reminder that Disney is not a company of interchangeable parts - it is a legacy, home to thousands of dedicated employees. And it's essential that Disney is lead by those looking to the future while honoring the cherished past.

As the family of Walt Disney, including Walter Elias Disney Miller, Tamara Diane Miller, Jennifer Miller-Goff, and Joanna Sharon Miller, assert, it is imperative that the current strategy and leadership remain in place to protect the company from those driven by self-interest. Let this be a call to shareholders to honor the Disney legacy and reject the threat posed by these wolves in sheep's clothing.

Remember, Disney stories are filled with heroes and villains. As we stand together in support of the current leadership, let us ensure that Disney continues to be a hero and withstand any threats against its magic and integrity.
