I wonder if Disney has realized yet that they are a tech company. The theme parks will be seen as a quaint relic of the past once this is all over.

Or they’ll be even more awesome as Disney’s technical abilities are integrated and leveraged in their theme parks. People pay good money to visit the parks for a reason. You can’t get that experience any other way.

Disney's greatest asset is without a doubt their IP, not their tech.

Is that a joke? Parks brought in 25 billion for Disney in 2019. People aren't going to stop going to Disney parks because covid existed. I'm not a Disney fanboy by any means but the experience at their parks is truly something unique and fantastic especially for children

People keep saying this, but all evidence from each time lockdowns have slightly lifted is it's not true. If anything, those who have been lucky enough to keep their jobs during the pandemic (often the ones more likely to go on holiday anyway) are going to be more likely to take those big trips once the vaccine has been distributed.
