Iger previously said the company planned to spend $17 billion in investment at Walt Disney World over the next 10 years.
At the time, Iger was responding to an investor who said the company was becoming too concerned with social issues.
“Our primary mission needs to be to entertain ... and to have a positive impact on the world,” Iger said at the time.
