\\nStockholders Meeting
In terms of the parks when asked about the subs he said that they were going nowhere. \\xa0We win. \\xa0Was also asked about Pin Trading Desks. \\xa0Said they were concerned about the Pin Traders reducing the quality of experience for other guests. Also some stuff about exclusivity in the parks, ie lilly belle being for C33 members only. \\xa0A: So much to do in the parks that the exclusive stuff is very, very tiny. In some cases the only way to bring something back is to do it for an exclusive number.
