It is being reported by Hollywood screenwriter and scooper, Kamran Pasha, that the Walt Disney Company CEO, Bob Chapek, spoke with Kareem Daniel (Chairperson of Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution) at El Capitan in front of an audience on Thursday. At the gathering, Bob Chapek declared for the first time publicly that The Walt Disney Company will exit politics and ideology going forward. This seems to corroborate reports from this website that Chapek and the Board of Directors plan to alter company policy in the next twelve months.
The Walt Disney Company CEO, Bob Chapek, and Chairman of Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution, Kareem Daniel have been together in France over the past week according to sources and photographic evidence. Daniel is often seen as a “Chapek guy” from those who study the Disney Company and sources for this website say that Chapek and Daniel have been meeting away from Burbank about the future of Disney’s entertainment slate. Specifically, I am told that Chapek and Daniel have been privately setting forth a plan for how to manage the various studios and their content which is difficult to censor but also decidedly harmful to Disney’s bottom line.

So what did Bob Chapek have to say at the public gathering on Thursday? According to Mr. Pasha on his Patreon (click his name above to go to the website), Mr. Chapek had the following to say:
“When people come to a Disney park they don’t walk in with their political views on their sleeves. People don’t come to Disney to get political points of view, either from the left or the right. Disney is a source of positivity in the world, no matter your sex, race, or politics. That’s a core focus for me.”
…
“You know the mainstream media will tell you that you can’t do that job, but I never listen to them.”
— Bob Chapek, Walt Disney Company CEO

It is understandable why some have said that Disney will never moderate and that the company will just keep pushing farther and farther into leftism, socialism, tribalism and segregation. As much as I can see that point of view and I know where it’s coming from, I do believe that important signs point towards Chapek and the Board reversing course. This is perhaps the strongest indicator yet. It’s a big deal.
This is a breaking story. As more sources and more information come forward, we’ll continue to cover this topic. WDW Pro will appear later today with Kamran Pasha and Valliant Renegade on a livestream to discuss. Make sure to check out Valliant Renegade on YouTube to tune in.
