News Splash Mountain retheme to Princess and the Frog - Tiana's Bayou Adventure

Pretty sure this will not be built. If the CEO's got over $70MM in salaries last year. It wouldn't have taken that much to redo the attraction. LOL

I've worked in the music business for over 10 years, producers are musicians. Many, many musicians produce their own works from top to bottom. You don't have to rephrase anything for me, thanks~!

Brian Wilson!

Sorry, can't resist any chance to mention how great Brian Wilson was.

They're probably still in the design phase, don't think it's been cancelled. I think anything that actually costs $$$$$$$$ isn't going to start for a while...

Then again, who knows. Now that the Twitter trolls are accusing Disney of misappropriating in Encanto, maybe Disney will stop listening to the knee-jerkers?

Oh, God, I saw this yesterday. Everyone was sending it to me. Disneyland took theirs out over 10 years ago. I know people mean well by sending this to me, thinking that I will be excited about good news, but, like, the 'Injun Joe' ish is legitimately one of my mental health triggers. Having flashbacks to elementary school and having kids mock me that my biofather was "Injun Joe," a "drunk Indian," etc. Talk about bad memory lane.

At any rate, non-Native people on either "side" of the argument were predictably annoying.

Getting back on Splash, it seems the retheme blurb on the ride page for both WDW and California is gone. Of course its now one about the ride being closed for rehab but still kind of interesting

It changed to "will be undergoing refurbishment soon" a while back. Don't think it means anything, sadly.

I figured most here would imagine Beethoven when you said 'musician'

What do you do in the music industry?

Don't know about others. But, when I hear 'musician', I think Barry Manilow. After all, he wrote the songs!

Which brings us back to the Beach Boys.

The WDW website is so much harder to navigate than Disneyland --but, yeah, weird that that's been removed!

Indeed it does, for better or worse. The non-Wilson wing.

It’ll be back as soon as (if?) the ride reopens.

None of the attraction pages on the Disneyland website were working this morning

This is why there need to be caps on executive compensation.

Just curious. Set by whom? If you say board or shareholders sure. If you say government that becomes dangerous.

 

[bdearl41]

Musicians work a lot harder and have to have a lot more skills than any CEO.

Meh. That’s not true.

 

[Dear Prudence]

Meh. That’s not true.

Sure, Jan

 

[bdearl41]

And their compensation is set by the Board (Compensation Committee) who work for the shareholders. Soooooooo....yeah.

If the shareholders/owners don't like it, they can sell their shares or vote accordingly.

The uproar always gets a little murky when you ask for specifics.

As a shareholder, I don't care if the CEO makes billions as long as he's driving a return on my investment. Conversely, if the CEO works "for a dollar" and the stock doesn't grow, I sell.

Iger, for example, drove Disney market cap and shareholder value by about $200B during his reign - one could argue he was grossly underpaid.

Exactly. There are compensation limits in place.

 

[bdearl41]

Sure, Jan

Anyone who speaks in absolutes is off their rocker. Regardless of the topic. Remember. Humans through history have been wrong approximately 98% of the time.

 

[Dear Prudence]

I wonder what they're going to be doing during the refurb, since It's so short. I wonder how much duct tape will be involved
