    Retlaw wasn't created until 1965. In 1953 Walt Disney and WED Enterprises were sued by a shareholder of Walt Disney Productions. Walt was diverting money from Walt Disney Productions to his family (Lillian, Diane and Sharon). That lawsuit was settled in favor of the shareholder in 1955. Walt...

    It was so he could make a fortune for himself and his family. Also note that Walt paid no right of way fees or lease fees to the Disneyland shareholders to run his privately owned monorail around the park. He was later sued by shareholders and had to pay that money back. Unfortunately, we...

    The franchise needs to be more inclusive. It's obvious that Eddie Murphy would be perfect for the Han Solo role. Dave Chappelle would be a great Darth Vader as well.

    Good point. The children have been introduced to the cartoon versions and their parents DVD's. No doubt the toy market is big into such material because it's "parent approved" due to the aforementioned nostalgia factor. It's a sad commentary. The children in my neighborhood dressed as Na'vi...

    You stumbled into my point. Children become aware of the Star Wars characters as their rabid fan boy and girl parents revel in the nostalgia. Of course, these young children use the terms "Light Saver" and "Dark Bader" to imitate their parents retelling of the Star Wars opera. The kids...

    It's multigenerational state. I have a light saver to prove it! Dark Bader is more of a comic today than a villain.

    Red ocean and blue ocean are not mutually exclusive. The blue ocean strategy does not have to be used across the board. Some aspects within the company can be blue ocean and others red ocean. Or if blue ocean fails to pan out, they can switch to red ocean as needed. It can be a blend between...

    I sympathize with you. I felt the same way when they got rid of the Penny Arcade and the Magic Shop from MSUSA.

    Indeed that's true but it's just one of the many, many energy savings that together added up to significant energy reduction. Think of it this way, LoW played a large symbolic role in the reduction of energy consumption. We can be proud of that.

    But they'd find something else to complain about. There's just no pleasing some people since they always want to find the bad in things rather than looking on the bright side of things. :D

    Energy conservation is everyone's business. Why pay more money for electricity and use more energy and get less work done? Switching to high efficiency motors in appliances, using compact florescent and LED lighting and using energy efficient cooling and heating systems have been proven to...

    I hope you'll note that above mentioned award given to WDW was for energy conservation between the years 2009 and 2013. Is it a coincidence that the nuclear reactor at Crystal River went out of service in 2009 and it was announced in 2013 that said reactor would not be repaired?

    New bus destinations, no new signs. Surprise!

    That's perfectly fine if you are driving your own car, staying at a Downtown Disney resort or staying at one of the monorail resorts or staying at an offsite resort that provides bus transportation to the TTC. However, if you're staying at any of the other Disney resorts you'll add unnecessary...
