The most recent earnings call was the 2022 Q4 call, during which we learned that Disney lost about $65 million as a result of Hurricane Ian, guest demand for the parks is still often outpacing capacity, and executives are optimistic about what 2023 will bring. We also caught a brief mention of Disney’s annual pass programs that might provide a clue as to what changes we could see for these programs in the future. [Read more…]
