Suoyp (@suoypmain) reported@PhantomNarukami even if it goes well, the rate at which disney wants to output content will inevitibly lead to desensitization of disney content and collabs, to the point the game becomes dependent on them. once all is added or they run out of what can work, the game goes down with it

Savethemagic (@Savethedmagic) reported@Windyb1979 I think this is exactly the problem. Disney no longer seems to have a dominant creative voice with a coherent vision and the authority to enforce it. Instead, you have teams responding to whatever the current business priority or IP mandate happens to be. Then add the loss of institutional knowledge and a design culture that increasingly seems rooted in architecture, interiors, graphics, and placemaking rather than the very specialized art of spatial theme park design. If you work around design, you can see the difference immediately; it's obvious. A beautiful environment is not automatically a well designed theme park. Sightlines, reveals, transitions, scale, movement, pacing, visual hierarchy, all this stuff Walt and the early Imagineers learned by actually building Disneyland and correcting mistakes in real time. What worries me is that Disney now seems to be repeating mistakes it solved decades ago, because there’s no longer a strong enough creative hand saying: No. This doesn’t belong here. Fix it.

Tony D'Orazio (@TonyForLP) reported@itsemileeharper Disney seems to be especially guilty of this. They tried a similar approach to High School Musical and it didn't work. OK, that gave us Olivia Rodrigo, but still. But I also don't have problems with the last generation's icons holding on to pass the torch - Madonna handing it off to Sabrina Carpenter (and Britney before her, I guess), for example.

Ⓧ🅐ⓥ🅘-🅔ⓐ🅡 (@disneymagicguy) reported@PixieDustVibes @FlopsandParks I have expectations for Disney. It’s sad no new generation does. Making excuses doesn’t fix the problem. It’s a new thing with new management. So I keep posting negatives I find here. No one has to view them. I don’t even read my posts as I’m sure the spelling proves.

Jamie Walters, CAIA (@JWalters314) reported@SMB_Attorney The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act materially strengthened the tax incentive to buy properties like these giant Disney-area short-term rentals. The basic mechanism was that TCJA expanded bonus depreciation to 100% for qualifying property acquired and placed in service after September 27, 2017 and before 2023. It also changed the rules so that used property could qualify, not merely brand-new property. That was enormously important for real-estate investors because someone buying an existing vacation home could potentially obtain accelerated deductions on qualifying components of the property. Imagine a simplified version of the Kissimmee house $694,000 purchase price less, say, $100,000 allocated to land leaves $594,000 depreciable basis. Suppose a cost-segregation study classified $150,000–$200,000 of that basis into qualifying 5-, 7-, or 15-year property. During the 100% bonus-depreciation period, much or potentially all of those qualifying components could be deducted immediately rather than slowly over many years. That alone created a large tax deferral. But short-term rentals had an additional advantage that conventional landlords generally didn't have. Under the passive-activity rules, ordinary rental real estate is generally treated as passive. That matters because a $150,000 depreciation-generated loss usually cannot simply erase $150,000 of salary earned at someone's unrelated job. But IRS Publication 925 contains an important exception: an activity isn't treated as a "rental activity" for these passive-activity rules when the average period of customer use is seven days or less. Then comes the second requirement: material participation. If the owner materially participates, the activity can potentially produce a non-passive tax loss. That means a high-income household could, depending on its facts, use a large depreciation loss from an Airbnb against wages or business income rather than merely carrying the loss forward as a passive loss. Plenty of American's from the top 10% have inherited wealth and "business income," that was eager to take advantage of the 2017 tax law incentives. Economic return=Airbnb cash flow+property appreciation+tax savings/deferral. During 2020–22, an investor could plausibly model all three as positive at once. The tax code didn't require investors to finance the house entirely with equity. Someone might put down $140,000 on a $700,000 property while depreciation deductions were based largely on the property's depreciable basis, not merely on the buyer's cash down payment. TCJA also created a particularly powerful timing coincidence Look at the timeline: 2018–2022: 100% bonus depreciation. 2020–2021: extraordinarily low mortgage rates. 2020–2022: pandemic-era vacation-rental demand boom. 2020–2022: enormous housing appreciation. 2020–2022: investors increasingly marketed cost segregation + STR tax strategies. You therefore had fiscal policy, monetary policy and tourism-market expectations all pushing in essentially the same direction. The owner's actual economic experience doesn't equal simply a $204,000 loss. You would need to reconstruct: purchase price + closing/furnishing costs + operating losses + interest + insurance + HOA + taxes−rental income−tax benefits−principal reduction and then account for transaction costs and tax consequences upon sale. The story does not end with TCJA. After the original TCJA bonus-depreciation percentage began phasing down, Congress subsequently restored permanent 100% bonus depreciation for qualifying property acquired after January 19, 2025. So the accelerated-depreciation incentive itself is alive again. People will 1031 exchange. If the 2023 buyer operated this successfully as a high-rate Disney short-term rental for three years, collected positive net operating income, and used cost segregation plus bonus depreciation to shelter other business income, then a large portion of the apparent capital loss may already have been economically recovered. At a 37% marginal federal rate, a $160,000 usable first-year depreciation loss would have an immediate tax value of roughly: $160,000(0.37)=$59,200. Now add the operating business. Suppose this seven-bedroom Disney property produced, after Airbnb/Vrbo fees, management, utilities, HOA, insurance, property taxes, repairs and interest, an average $30,000 of actual cash profit per year for three years. That's another: 3($30,000)=$90,000. $90,000 of operating profit plus perhaps $70,000 of accumulated tax savings already puts the investor around $160,000 ahead of the simple purchase-price-to-sale-price comparison. So before transaction costs and disposition taxes, the economic loss might be closer to: −204,000+90,000+70,000=−$44,000 rather than −$204,000. And if the Airbnb generated $50,000 annually rather than $30,000, you'd have: 3(50,000)=$150,000 of cumulative operating profit, and the investor could conceivably have made money over the entire holding period despite selling the house for $204,000 less than he paid. Suppose he put 20% down: $694,000(20%)=$138,800. He didn't have $694,000 of personal capital at risk. He may have controlled a $694,000 depreciable income-producing asset with roughly $139,000 of initial equity. Now suppose during ownership he got: $90k cash flow+$70k tax savings=$160k of cumulative economic benefits. That exceeds the original $139,000 down payment before considering financing costs already embedded in our assumed net cash flow. This is why the return on investor equity is a much better framework than Nick Gerli's purchase-price-versus-list-price graphic. There is, however, an important complication at sale. Accelerated depreciation isn't simply forgotten. Depreciation reduces tax basis, and sales of depreciable business property can trigger the rules applicable to Sections 1245 and 1250. IRS Publication 544 specifically addresses depreciation recognition/recapture upon disposition. But here's an especially interesting feature of this particular case: the property has fallen so far in price that the disposition analysis may be much less painful than it would be if the house had appreciated. If the buyer's adjusted tax basis has fallen substantially because of depreciation but the property is nevertheless being sold at $490,000, you have to allocate the sales proceeds among the land, building and cost-segregated components and calculate gain/loss asset by asset. You can't simply say “all $160,000 of depreciation gets recaptured.” The exact outcome depends on those allocations and adjusted bases. The investor may have only about 10% of the accelerated depreciation come back as §1245 ordinary-income recapture. For this particular $694k → $490k example, >80% of the accelerated depreciation escaping immediate recapture is not inherently implausible at all. What looks like a loss to regular W2 slaves may have been a nice gain to an investor with inherited business income to offset and an accountant who can work the books. An investor could rationally bid more for the house than an owner-occupant could justify, because the investor was purchasing not merely housing services but a bundle of: Disney STR income + leveraged appreciation + accelerated tax deductions. The tax code therefore helped capitalize some of those benefits into the acquisition price itself.

Kent Beyers (@kingofcities) reported@PwrRngr I love in the article where it says they're not moving forward because superhero series are expensive to make. No ******* ****?? Everything Disney does is expensive, so much bloat. But somehow it was made for years by other people in New Zealand on a modest budget, no problem.
