Christine McCarthy, Disney CFO spoke at the SVB MoffettNathanson Technology, Media & Telecom Conference earlier this morning, Wednesday, May 17, and she has divulged some interesting information on the way that Disney will decide on which rides and attractions to bring to the Disney theme parks in the future...
McCarthy revealed that the company is planning for theme park investment based on Disney+ usage and data.
She also confirmed that Disney will continue to rely mainly on intellectual property when bringing new experiences to the theme parks, focusing on IP's that are popular with Disney+ viewers, thus confirming that Intellectual Property is the future of the Disney theme parks.
By identifying popular programming within Disney+, McCarthy says that the data will better inform the creatives and magineers when making decisions about theme parks.using the data to incorporate the most popular intellectual properties within the parks and fund their expansion appropriately.
Right now the data is showing that Bluey is the most watched TV show with Moana the most popular movie.
So will we see Bluey in the parks soon... probably!
Oh and the rumoured makeover of Dinoland USA at Animal Kingdom, yes we will probably see the Moana land coming to fruition, especially with the remake of Moana in the works.
