Pretty sure they can do both. Not sure why some have a problem with a company that made money off a retelling of a story centered around an image of this world treasure contributing a relatively small amount to rebuilding it. Around the time it's planning on making more money off the same story. Goes to a good cause and garners more goodwill for the company -- which also has a park in that country, lest we forget.I'd way rather see Disney invest in this than putting money into rebuilding Notre Dame.

Feels like looking for something to be cranky about. I don't get it.
I’d be less worried about Disney because it’s Disney a private enterprise/company rather than a public government type system. I feel public transportation gets delayed way more than any sort of private transportation.Its stuff like this https://www.bbc.com/news/business-47967766 that makes me worried about the Monorail replacement at WDW once and if it gets on the way.
Do you feel this way every time they make a donation??Not a huge issue, and I didn't really think about DLP and the positive marketing this gives them there - but honestly not sure I am all that keen on them reducing CM services or shortening park hours, or raising bottled water 50 cents to make up the difference.
In other words - we the customers are the ones that will pay for it one way or another, as they won't take a hit on earnings over it - and Disney's $5 million won't make the difference between whether it's rebuilt or not -I do agree it should be rebuilt.
It is sort of shocking how much Disney struggles to make decent pizza ... I'm not asking for the worlds best but lots of other places can turn out tons of decent pizza
They probably can make good pizza but choose not to. On DCL they use to have good pizza. Now all the pizza is terrible on all four ships because they choose not to make good pizza.

This might upset you... https://www.thewaltdisneycompany.com/charitable-giving/
Regarding the "why not both or all" argument, it is in a fact a zero sum game in this case where a donation to this cause by Disney, will directly impact their decision to not donate to another cause, because they have budgets for these things. There is not an unlimited donation pool that they have to dip into.
I also don't like this when they are cutting cast member hours and benefits packages at every chance they get.
My kids loved the Hunchback of Notre Dame stage show that was at MGM Studios (at the time). It had to have been around 1997. Notre Dame is the heart of many of the french people and the cathedral was awe inspiring. I'm happy to have seen it up close and recorded the bells ringing when we were there in 2015. I'm only sad we didn't have time to climb the bell tower.Estimate I saw is that it could cost more than $8bn to rebuild: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...bear-notre-dame-rebuilding-cost-idUSKCN1RS1LO
One idea I saw that I liked was have Disney re-release Hunchback to theaters and then take the profits from that and donate it
Do we know if these items will be sold beyond May 1?
I’m guessing the treats will be pretty limited but merchandise will likely stay until it’s sold out.Do we know if these items will be sold beyond May 1?
