You know what's funny?
Do you? Does anyone really anymore? Everyone outside of Imagineering and operations has their opinions, which differ, so we should probably leave it at that.

Do you? Does anyone really anymore? Everyone outside of Imagineering and operations has their opinions, which differ, so we should probably leave it at that.
The better question would be... what standard does Disney actually use these days? It seems (in WDW) they currently have 3 classifications:
1. Refurb.. (add track/theater)
2. Meet and Greet
3. Clone

When you think of the target demographic its not surprising
1. Under 10's
2. Menopausal women
3. FanBoys with blogs and a fear of thrill rides but a love of dark places and moving machinery that simulates human movement.

Never miss an opportunity, eh?
The next time you run into an Imagineer, or someone higher up in operations, ask them about the e-ticket classification.

Look in the mirror friend, because you're part of the problem. The cynicism and arrogance of this post is unbelievable. You're in a make believe place called "Fantasyland" and you're too kewl to "play pretend with cardboard." Newsflash: You're not that cool. Maybe if you lighten up and participate instead of reacting with knee-jerk cynicism, you'd be able to enjoy those experiences that you consider so far beneath your contempt.

That's completely backwards.
What makes stock compensation valuable? Share price.
What causes higher share prices? Profits.
What causes profits? Revenue.
What is revenue? People giving you money.
Why would people give you money? You give them goods or services they need/want/desire.
Ergo, if you want the executives to "give the people what they want," then they should be paid even more heavily with incentive-based compensation. Now, we can quibble about the structure of stock compensation (longer vesting periods, segment-specific benchmarking, etc.), but an executive who makes a flat salary no matter what has absolutely no financial incentive to do ANYTHING good for the customer or for the business at large because he's going to "get his" no matter what.

So Disney California Adventure's 15th anniversary's today, so I've been strolling down memory lane with that Rosie O'Donnell and Drew Carey Show cast go to DCA special and the segment on Superstar Limo's an absolute treasure

Be honest, have you ever actually done Enchanted Tales with Belle? I suspect not, because if you had you'd know that it has two of the best animatronics that WDI has put out in years.

When I chat with imagineers, the last thing I would do is to ask them about whether an attraction is an E-ticket.
I can think of much more valuable things to talk with them about.

No argument from me, I agree.

Not explicitly. But the implication is clearly that the attraction is cardboard cutouts and therefore is crap and Disney is crap to boot.I don't believe anyone said they weren't some of the greatestUnless I misinterpreted this conversation

What should the masks be? Made of titanium and encrusted with diamonds and other precious stones? Seriously, sometimes Disney fans.....
Plus, for sanitation, do you really want to be putting your face in a mask that every sweaty tourist has put their face in that day?
I've been twice with my kids, and found the entire package to be an interesting and immersive experience that I'm not going to be even close to getting at my local Six Flags.

The problem is more centered around 'short term incentives' many executive stock grants vest immediately so the motivation is to take short term actions which maximize IMMEDIATE value, Now if executive stock grants had a 5-7 year vesting period the motivation would be to push the company towards long term growth because being human they want the reward at the end of the tunnel.
Current american business practice is weighted almost entirely to short term gain. The CEO of Black Rock investments has been arguing that this is destroying long term value for shareholders and it's necessary to look at quarterly results more like a corporate EKG than basing rewards on quarterly results.

I'll say it's similar to Stitch's Great Escape. Amazing AA's that could've been used for something sooooooooo much more.
