Video Transcript:
Jay Rasulo: I spent 30 years of my life, working at the Walt Disney Company, doing many different jobs. I finished up as chief financial officer of the company. But, probably the most fun part is that for almost a decade, I ran parks and resorts around the world.
We've recently heard that the company is investing a lot of money, $60 billion in parks and resorts. And the real question and the real issue is when and where exactly are they going to invest that? And are they using rigorous thinking and are the right questions being asked about when, where, how it's going to enhance the guest experience and how it's going to enhance the returns to shareholders? And those things have to be carefully balanced.
