The top executive at the Walt Disney Co. said this morning that he expects his company’s theme parks will scale back discounting during the second half of 2010, though he acknowledged that “we don’t know when we will essentially be able to turn it off.”

Disney Chief Executive Officer Bob Iger noted that the promotions Disney’s parks are currently offering – including another buy-four-get-seven hotel-night offer at Walt Disney World – are slightly smaller than deals they offered earlier this year, when the global recession was at its worst.

“We’ll be able to continue to dial that back over the latter part of 2010,” Iger told financial analysts at the UBC Media and Telecommunications Conference in New York
