The following quote is from Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., president of the University of Notre Dame. Father John was referring to the University and it's Catholic mission, but I've modified the quote to be "Disnified," replacing religious references with Disney ones, etc. I believe it is a perfect example of what Walt himself would say if he were around today.
“With respect and gratitude for all who embraced Disney World's mission in earlier times, let us rise up and embrace the mission for our time: to build a Disney World that is bigger and better than ever—a great amusement enterprise for the 21st century, the pre-eminent entertainment and imagination institution in the world, a center for learning whose intellectual and magical traditions converge to make it a healing, unifying, enlightening force for a world deeply in need. This is our goal. Let no one ever again say that we dreamed too small.”
