Quarterly dividend compared to a yearly dividend?

Cool. Thanks Darkbeer. I really cannot listen so I am relying on you to help keep us as informed as you usually do.

Much appreciated.

[Mnemorath]

Someone needs to ask why the stock price has been dropping steadily over the past week.

Can DVC members get discounts on Annual Passes?

Bob asked the person the person which DVC location she has a membership.

Next question.

New Park locations, and in specific, a third gate in Anaheim.

We have "expansion possibilities" and are looking at it.

But the main focus is on DCA and improving that at the current time.

[Darkbeer]

Could Magical Express be offered in Anaheim, as similar to Orlando.

Bob Iger, probably not, due to the differences in volume as compared to Orlando and Anaheim.

[Darkbeer]

Comment, "A Year of a Million Dreams" campaign is faboulous

Fantasia followup, will they make a Fantasia 3?

The answer is no, we are not developing a third version.

Disney is looking to strengthen ties with fans, especially the Disneyana group.
