Otherwise, Disney would be doing a disservice to its shareholders, and could possibly end up with a shareholder lawsuit on their hands.
Honestly, I am not so sure about that... Disney is a publicly traded company, true... but the parks is only one division of the entire Disney company... if the entire company was selling, then I would see the news being made public first, then looking for the highest bidder... But only for an investor in one section of the company??? not so sure that has to be public knowledge until a deal is finalized.... I could be wrong though...
