Four years after leaving his role as Disney's CEO amid a turbulent two-year tenure, Bob Chapek is defending his decision to raise prices at the company's popular theme parks in his upcoming memoir, "Behind the Castle Walls: My Thirty Years at the Happiest Place on Earth." In the book, Chapek attributes his abrupt departure and damaged reputation to former leaders Bob Iger and the current CEO, Josh D'Amaro.
Chapek claims Iger intentionally sidelined him, stating, "I didn't get a chance to finish what I started." Chapek's controversial moves, including significant price hikes for food and annual passes, discontinuing a free shuttle service, and altering the Fastpass system, have led to dissatisfaction among Disney fans and accusations of pricing out families and vacationers.
