Our capex for 2001 will be, ah, $12.4 billion. Yeah, that's it!

The weak dollar should have improved travel to our country but that apparently hasn't happened which makes me think this is a global problem, duh!

Camping sites are filled up, so it's not like there is no travel going on. Angels come close to selling out nearly every home game now, so it's not like people are afraid of big crowds. It doesn't seem to be a "disney thing" though since Hilton also said travel was down and so have airlines.

I find Disney cartoons on the dark side. (Whenever I go to see a Disney cartoon I pretty much know there are evil doers involved somehow). The real value in Disney movies isn't their box office receipts, it's the merchandising and video sales they get from them down the line.

I just don't think Disney is a good sign for the near term in the economy though.
