Last November, the CEO retired to take over the reins of the company. He stated that lower prices were needed to expand the company&#8217;s customer base.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In our zeal to grow profits, we may have been a little bit too aggressive about some of our pricing,&#8221; Iger stated. &#8220;I think there&#8217;s a way to continue to grow that business, but be smarter about how we price so that we maintain that brand value of accessibility.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Iger said that high prices made the experience at the theme parks more enjoyable for those who were able to afford them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One of the things that we had to do was we had to improve the guest experience by reducing crowding,&#8221; Iger <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/entertainment-arts\/business\/story\/2023-03-09\/bob-iger-says-disney-price-hikes-too-high\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Additional<\/a>. &#8220;It&#8217;s tempting to let more and more people in, but if the guest satisfaction levels are going down because of crowding then that doesn&#8217;t work.
