YouTube channel where she is telling the

play00:56

truth inside the theme parks and for

play00:58

those of you who are sort of out inside

play01:00

of this typical perview of news I'll

play01:02

just say that there are quite a few

play01:04

YouTubers vloggers bloggers Etc and

play01:07

those who spend their time in the Parks

play01:09

play01:12

play01:18

are not of that variety Lena of course

play01:20

play01:31

Lena Creole it's really good information

play01:34

over there Lena one of the things that's

play01:36

interesting to me and let me move us to

play01:37

the side here uh folks what we're

play01:39

looking at here is the Disney stock just

play01:42

prior to the Market opening today and so

play01:44

at the time of recording this is

play01:45

accurate for us and I want to show

play01:47

everybody this because we need to have

play01:49

some things in

play01:50

perspective before we dive into the

play01:52

topic of what Disney has done and Disney

play01:55

has removed a character uh from inside

play01:58

their theme parks and some saying that

play02:00

it's because that character is deeply

play02:03

offensive so we're going to see uh what

play02:05

might be more offensive and I think

play02:07

Lorena that more offensive than uh

play02:10

characters and and you know that have

play02:12

been around for 50 years I think more

play02:14

offensive is what's going on with the

play02:15

Disney stock and I think this is where

play02:17

the company should Place much of its

play02:19

focus and interest I just want to show

play02:20

people this um stock currently at $97 31

play02:24

cents per share that was as of yesterday

play02:26

and of course if you're looking at the

play02:28

five-year span that is a uh 30% drop

play02:33

over five years but that's nothing

play02:34

compared to when we look over here at

play02:36

the middle of the chart back around 2020

play02:39

through 2021 and even into 2022 uh folks

play02:43

these are the Bob chapek years this is

play02:45

when uh Bob chapek was the CEO of the

play02:47

Walt Disney Company and of course we

play02:49

were told that Bob Iger had to come back

play02:50

because Bob chapek was a horrible person

play02:52

and because we needed to move this

play02:53

company back into the leftward position

play02:56

where Bob Iger wanted to take it into

play02:58

the Dei ESG woke categories and uh this

play03:02

is how things are going now folks and

play03:03

we're going right back down again again

play03:06

again uh this thing is sitting at

play03:08

something like half of the value the

play03:10

company once was so things are not all

play03:13

great at the house of mouse and that

play03:15

takes us now to the New York Post Lena

play03:18

and uh this is a story that's going to

play03:20

be folks you're G to find some stuff out

play03:22

here that you probably would not know

play03:23

otherwise because Lorena is an expert in

play03:25

this area uh let me read the article and

play03:28

then we'll uh we'll continue on it says

play03:30

Disney World has removed a beloved

play03:32

character that has been a staple at the

play03:33

amusement park for over 50 years as the

play03:35

character was deemed insensitive and

play03:37

outdated and could offend alcoholics now

play03:39

the New York Post is reporting this

play03:42

there's a very interesting thing about

play03:44

this article hold on we'll get to it it

play03:47

says liver lips mcgrow one of the 18

play03:50

animatronic Bears of the country bear

play03:52

jimere at Magic Kingdom will not be

play03:53

making his Grand return alongside the

play03:55

other robotic mammals when the

play03:57

attraction reopens Wednesday this is in

play03:59

the past bit after a seven-month Hiatus

play04:01

the term liver lips which is considered

play04:05

derogatory and offensive is associated

play04:08

with alcohol abuse and the Damage it

play04:10

does to the liver Disney blog inside the

play04:13

magic said so Lorena as soon as I saw

play04:17

this was based on inside the magic I had

play04:19

some alarm Bells go up we're not here to

play04:21

attack any website we're not here to be

play04:23

mean uh it's just that what's going on

play04:25

at that website is not exactly the same

play04:27

as what might be going on at some other

play04:29

news websites Lorena can you help me

play04:32

explain that in a polite way inside the

play04:35

magic or as I like to call them inside

play04:38

the tragic um which used to be a very

play04:41

very reputable Disney site has resorted

play04:45

of late to putting out articles that are

play04:48

poorly sourced uh based on

play04:50

conjecture and site sources like quora

play04:55

or Reddit shots fired folks shots fired

play05:00

and usually for some kind of incitement

play05:04

that is usually their uh theirm Mo Okay

play05:08

so we've got so so you're suggesting

play05:10

that they're Sensational that sometimes

play05:12

they have some tabloides kinds of things

play05:14

going on but in this story specifically

play05:18

in regards the story specifically what

play05:20

what do you think is is liver lips like

play05:22

did they get rid of this character or

play05:23

not and and did they do so because liver

play05:26

lips is an offensive character that uh

play05:28

shames alcoholics the world

play05:31

over I haven't seen anything announced

play05:34

by Disney to that effect the only thing

play05:37

I heard of is that the character was

play05:40

going to be replaced that was it didn't

play05:42

say that it was because it was offensive

play05:45

to uh to alcoholics or or anything

play05:48

nothing from Disney because I would

play05:49

think if you don't want to be offensive

play05:51

to alcoholics why would you serve

play05:52

alcohol in the Magic

play05:57

Kingdom oh Lena oh oh wow the zingers

play06:01

are coming out this is the rare form of

play06:03

Lena folks this you don't want to mess

play06:05

with this lady right now she is dropping

play06:07

truth Bobs look out Disney okay that

play06:11

that was that was great uh when it comes

play06:14

to the animatronic it's the same

play06:15

animatronic though right they didn't

play06:16

actually get rid of the the bear they

play06:18

didn't get rid of the Mask it's it's

play06:19

still there they just gave it a new name

play06:21

right new name and new haircut okay okay

play06:24

well let's let's take a look at the next

play06:26

thing uh that's going on all all across

play06:29

the web here and the next thing we have

play06:31

out of the New York Post is it says the

play06:33

term is also seen because it apparently

play06:35

this liver lips thing is just really

play06:37

offensive to lots of people the term is

play06:39

also seen as derogatory and offensive

play06:41

stereotype used against black Americans

play06:43

to describe the shape of their lips as

play06:45

sickly or

play06:46

unhealthy uh I don't know how

play06:49

livers had have anything to do about

play06:51

that and I don't know you know I'm kind

play06:53

of worried about the people who are

play06:54

looking at this bear and seeing that I'm

play06:56

I'm I'm worried about them as

play06:57

individuals that maybe they are the ones

play07:00

with the issue uh Lena I had never in my

play07:02

life and we talked about this before the

play07:04

video never in my life heard liver lips

play07:07

play07:23

way never I have never heard this um

Stereotype from my Jim Crow Deep South

play07:32

era raised grandparents I've never heard

play07:34

that from my parents I've never heard

play07:38

liver lips associated with a racial

play07:42

stereotype ever I don't even know what I

play07:45

play07:51

play07:55

play07:56

alcoholics like are they trying to say

play07:59

that that you're having liver failure

play08:00

lips like I don't this is the biggest

play08:03

play08:07

moment though we'll we'll finish the

play08:09

Terence Shaker and Trixie along with the

play08:30

play08:31

play08:34

Al is no longer singing Blood on the

play08:36

play08:37

of all this bring back the saddle right

play08:40

Len yes bring back the blood on the

play08:42

saddle song instead of now he's doing

play08:47

remember me which is that's a you know

play08:50

if you're GNA do it that's clever but

play08:52

bring back the saddle bring back the S

play08:55

all righta I have been paying close

play08:56

attention um to the idea that Disney is

play09:00

still searching out attractions that

play09:02

they deem offensive and so one of the

play09:03

things we've talked about is I had heard

play09:06

that they're going to be going after uh

play09:08

the uh Rio Del Tempo the uh or Rio Del

play09:11

Tempo the uh uh Trace caberos ride and I

play09:17

I'm continuing to hear that there are

play09:19

other attractions I'm not yet ready to

play09:21

go forth with the second attraction

play09:23

that's been given to me I'm still

play09:24

waiting for a second source to come

play09:26

through and and confirm this so Lena

play09:29

what other rides do you think might be

play09:31

uh under the ey under the microscope of

play09:33

Disney as we go forward um I've heard

play09:35

some actual mentions that the Tower of

play09:38

Terror could be facing some scrutiny for

play09:40

lack of diversity in that attraction um

play09:43

I've heard that uh well we' we've heard

play09:45

for a long time that rock and roller

play09:46

coaster is uh due for a change but um

play09:50

what do you think's going on at Disney

play09:52

do you think that they're still going to

play09:52

continue this this push to scrub

play09:55

attractions of offensiveness or do you

play09:57

think they're tiring out of that now

play10:01

no I think that they're going to go full

play10:02

steam ahead with it uh the attraction

play10:05

that I'm the most worried about which is

play10:07

G down for refurbishment is Peter Pan's

play10:10

flight oh well you know that one that

play10:13

one survived the last time and I had

play10:16

actually heard that they they might make

play10:17

the change then I I think I got out the

play10:19

first uh before anybody else about that

play10:21

they were going to leave it in because

play10:22

they were afraid of the backlash uh that

play10:25

will be very interesting they did change

play10:27

the name of the pirate Pates no not not

play10:30

Pirates the Native Americans they

play10:32

changed their their official name to the

play10:34

neverland tribe so we'll see if the

play10:36

neverland tribe survives another round

play10:38

of Dei yeah ah but here's the problem

play10:42

Lena the problem is okay so we looked at

play10:44

the Disney stock and it's down by half

play10:46

right so they're spending all this money

play10:49

to scrub these rides of offensiveness

play10:51

and who knows if they did so with

play10:53

country bears jury or not you know but

play10:56

so they're doing this they're scrubbing

play10:57

these rides meanwhile we've got rides

play11:00

like the Tomorrowland Speedway that

play11:02

should go away they're terrible they're

play11:04

they're they're they have no capacity

play11:07

they're loud they're obnoxious they're

play11:09

they exist in a world of yester year

play11:11

like yester three or four decades they

play11:13

should have been taken out and we're not

play11:15

spending money wisely inside the Disney

play11:17

Company on replacing attractions that

play11:19

need to go you know I I think the

play11:22

perfect example is uh is journey into

play11:24

imagination with figment but I also

play11:25

think you look at spaceship earth and

play11:27

the disrepair that it's in and you just

play11:29

think

play11:30

why are we not allocating money to rides

play11:32

that really need an update and instead

play11:35

we're spending all this cash to fix what

play11:38

offends no one what are your thoughts

play11:42

there my thoughts are is they're just

play11:47

not interested in preserving the

play11:51

experience that truly makes the money

play11:54

and I also think that Disney still

play11:57

believes that they're the only game in

play11:59

town

play12:01

well they're about to learn a really

play12:02

hard lesson they're about to learn a

play12:04

really hard lesson now Len you're going

play12:06

to be going uh to Epic Universe when

play12:10

it's in that opening phase um that's

play12:13

going to be early uh next year so we are

play12:15

within just months now of that happening

play12:18

folks if you're not yet subscribed you

play12:19

should be because that's going to be

play12:20

really great content following Lena and

play12:23

everything going on with epic Universe

play12:25

um I actually think now Lena looking at

play12:27

the the July crowds which continue to be

play12:29

very low for Disney I actually think now

play12:32

that epic Universe has a real shot of O

play12:35

overtaking uh at least the three

play12:37

alternative Disney Parks the non- castle

play12:40

Parks uh in its first year of operation

play12:42

and I think in 2026 it's got a legit

play12:44

chance of outpacing attendance at Magic

play12:47

Kingdom which would Dethrone Disney and

play12:49

Disney should hey Disney stock here's an

play12:52

idea you want to see how low the Disney

play12:54

stock can go folks you want to see how

play12:56

far that sucker can dive let epic

play12:58

universe take away your guests and uh

play13:01

sink Disney World where they spend

play13:03

onethird of all the profits are coming

play13:05

in from Disney World into the Disney

play13:07

coffers the entire company one-third of

play13:09

all their profits comes from Disney

play13:10

World sync that and let epic Universe

play13:13

take all of that market share and we'll

play13:15

show you what can happen uh with the

play13:17

stock so uh no good no good Lorena tell

play13:20

us what you're looking forward to with

play13:21

epic Universe before we let you go

play13:23

what's what's the big thing that you

play13:24

think might be the uh well I don't want

play13:27

to say I started to say the Silver

play13:29

Bullet but I'm really nervous about

play13:30

saying anything like that right now for

play13:32

reasons that should be obvious to folks

play13:33

so what would be the what is the thing

play13:35

that Disney should fear most when it

play13:37

comes to Epic

play13:39

Universe oh just how much people are

play13:43

willing to

play13:45

spend willingly willing to spend to have

play13:49

an experience that they feel is worth

play13:52

the value for the money to be around IPS

play13:57

that have more of a worldwide appeal and

play14:01

a more current um appeal people are

play14:05

looking forward to

play14:07

reliving memories of their childhood of

play14:11

gaming you know in Super Mario World or

play14:14

sorry Super Nintendo World or getting to

play14:18

experience yet another chapter in the

play14:20

Harry Potter Saga uh getting to relive

play14:25

those moments from How to Train Your

play14:27

Dragon and be fascinated by they're

play14:30

going to have a freaking dragon in the

play14:32

stage show and Dragons flying around

play14:35

over that particular burn those down I

play14:38

bet they can manage not to burn them

play14:39

down like Disney I think yeah I think

play14:42

they're gon L let me let me throw this

play14:43

to you this is kind of a sidebar and and

play14:45

you know fair enough we don't often do

play14:47

these at the end of a video but um I had

play14:50

this thought when I was in Epcot the

play14:51

other day and I was thinking about epic

play14:54

universe and and the threat that it

play14:56

poses to Disney and one of the things

play14:58

that was going through my mind is you

play15:00

know epic Universe when it opens it's

play15:02

got the Super Nintendo World and all of

play15:05

those franchises are always going to be

play15:08

vibrant and kids are always going to be

play15:10

participating in them so there there's

play15:11

not going to be a time when they're

play15:12

dated and you know how to train your

play15:15

dragon they're they're relaunching a

play15:16

liveaction version of that they'll

play15:17

probably reboot an animated version

play15:18

after that so that's going to be always

play15:21

sort of an evergreen property but as I

play15:23

was walking through Epcot I looked over

play15:25

at uh the Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic

play15:27

rewind and I had this realization I

play15:30

thought you know this is really

play15:32

fascinating that that that ride is only

play15:34

maybe a year two years old and already

play15:37

it is based on a franchise that's in the

play15:39

past like there are no more Guardians

play15:42

movies that are going to be made those

play15:44

characters are already old and I started

play15:47

to think about all the rides that Disney

play15:49

has done now they're based on IP and

play15:52

they they've got to make them fresh

play15:53

right the problem is that you if you

play15:55

base every one of your rides on time

play15:59

locked IPS and you don't have any more

play16:01

of these Pirates or Big Thunder Mountain

play16:03

railroads or space mountains that's all

play16:05

going to be based on the latest greatest

play16:06

IP your attractions get really dated

play16:08

really fast and then you have to update

play16:11

them over and over and over and epic

play16:13

universe doesn't seem to me to have that

play16:15

problem and that's that's something that

play16:17

I don't hear enough people talking about

play16:19

do you think I'm right or wrong or do

play16:20

you see a Twist to that argument at

play16:23

all um no you're absolutely right last

play16:26

time I was in Epcot when I was a kid

play16:29

there used to be more things to do in

play16:31

Epcot than I got a chance to do there

play16:34

were Timeless um attractions like energy

play16:40

going into space especially the world

play16:43

showcase with visiting all of those

play16:45

countries and seeing what makes them you

play16:47

know makes them special there was a

play16:49

timelessness to it timelessness with

play16:53

periodic updates but you got a Baseline

play16:59

great experience when you went things

play17:01

weren't you know outdated the way that

play17:03

there are now there's hardly anything

play17:05

there of interest in like you were

play17:07

saying with the IPS they're locked into

play17:09

these hot fresh now IPS which will wear

play17:14

out Nintendo has been a worldwide brand

play17:18

for I don't know how many decades and

play17:21

it's well known more with brand

play17:23

recognition more so than Disney you know

play17:26

around the world dark universes based on

play17:30

classic monster you know novels I

play17:34

thought that would be my least favorite

play17:35

part of the of Epic Universe Lena after

play17:37

seeing the concept art and the burning

play17:39

windmill that's that's the coolest thing

play17:41

I've ever seen in a theme park that H

play17:43

how about that the the area I thought I

play17:45

would like the least I think looks the

play17:47

coolest of all the stuff they're

play17:49

doing I think people are going to come

play17:51

for a Super Nintendo World and stay for

play17:55

Dark Universe because they're just so

play17:57

impressed not only how well Dark

play17:59

Universe is being put together but one

play18:01

of the things that you have to remember

play18:03

about pop culture especially with modern

play18:04

horror a lot of that is based on those

play18:09

old monsterverse type of stories yeah

play18:13

and if you thought they were going to

play18:14

cut the budget on that part and be like

play18:15

I don't know how much people can love

play18:16

this no it's a budget Unleashed and and

play18:19

it's got some of the coolest things

play18:20

things you've ever seen or dreamed of in

play18:22

a theme park and to your point about

play18:24

Epcot you know there's nothing to do in

play18:26

Epcot anymore if there's not a festival

play18:28

there's literally nothing to do it is a

play18:30

giant uh you

play18:32

know just walk- on concrete SL yeah 98

play18:36

Degrees so much fun um but I remember

play18:39

back in the 90s for example uh inside uh

play18:42

innoventions there was uh let's see in

play18:45

the 90s there was a Sega exhibit for

play18:46

example I'm going through all the

play18:47

exhibits that have existed but there was

play18:49

a Sega exhibit they had uh the Sega

play18:51

Dreamcast prior to release and they had

play18:53

Sega Saturn and and 32x and all these

play18:56

different you know things and they had

play18:57

video game stations everywhere and it

play18:59

was like a three-hour experience and

play19:02

today you're lucky if you get a five

play19:04

minute experience at any of these you

play19:05

know Disney theme park so uh hopefully

play19:09

Disney will get the message because uh

play19:10

shareholders are sure going to have a

play19:12

bad time if they don't epic Universe not

play19:14

an existential threat to Disney and to

play19:16

its profits but by goly it's the biggest

play19:18

threat they've seen in a long long time

play19:21
