Disney adults on the internet have practically broken the internet as they celebrated the exit of former Disney CEO Bob Chapek from his position.
The news of former CEO Bob Chapek’s exit from the Walt Disney Company has now spread like wildfire after it broke earlier tonight. The controversial CEO has been at the center of many unpopular decisions, from the multiple price rises in the cost of the Annual Passes to the increase in the prices of tickets to the Parks and more. Fans have felt the Disney magic has disappeared under his watch, and now that he’s officially gone, they are not holding back their feelings.

While the internet was flooded with fans sharing their happiness about this development, many were unconvinced that Chapek was wholly responsible for the current reputation of Disney.
Wrong take: Iger started that path for Disney. Chapel merely followed it. The difference is the stock took a tank.

Others like @rickitick43 also recalled the criticism Disney has been facing for “going woke” and said, “Disney found out that go woke go broke is real. They just fired the CEO.”
While Bob Chapek has made no official statement, Disney CEO Bob Iger shared a note on his return as the current Chief Executive Officer of the Walt Disney Company.
