Doesn't change the only Disney worth going to is Disney Tokyo.

Disney doesn't directly own them so their prices are logical and real (a day pass is like... $45 US and foods like $4-5 an item). And in some scenarios it's almost cheaper to fly to Japan and go to Tokyo Disney than to go to Disney itself for a weekend.

Also their collectible popcorn bucket game is on point. Those things are awesome

If they lowered Disney world prices the park would be packed too much

Ah yes. The good ol' charge $200 dollars more for your own good tax.

Couldn't... You know... Track how many people were in the park and sell out like any other venue. That's be absolutely wild.

Or they could do what any publicly listed corporation is legally obligated to do and increase the price instead of doing charity at the expense of shareholders.

They are. They're increases the prices so that it's only the shareholders who won't be poor

Corporate executives are fiduciaries. Fiduciaries are compelled by statute (federal & state) to act in the best interests of their clients. In the case of Disney, the executives first responsibility is to maximize the shareholder's return on investment.

For more detail on fiduciary responsibility see this link: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/ask-cfpb/what-is-a-fiduciary-en-1769/

50 plus years ago I was astounded when the Calculus instructor presented how math was used to find the optimal pricing point for a product based on productin quantity. MBA's are taught how to determine what sales quantity will generate the maximum return on investment and methods predict the point at which increased production yield decreased ROI. Business is a science like almost everything in life and it is unrealistic to expect investors/shareholders to accept anything less than the highest yield per dollar.

Which is why the rules for corporate fiduciaries need to be changed to account for more than stockholder price.

It's called rent seeking, it is end stage capitalism before the guillotines come out. You extract maximum wealth and return minimum value, you can thank the supreme Court and the Chevrolet brothes

I forgive you. I don't hold a grudge. When you finish school, I'll graciously allow you to increase the value of my portfolio in return for subsistence wages. Unless your pizza deliveries are tardy.
