Interesting to see consumer products was down 8% - I wonder what happened to the guy who was in charge of that division...

In my past I had a job that required I do background checks on volunteers - it is a very simple process and a negligible cost. Something of the scope that you described would have easily shown up on a report. How can a company with so many resources and a reputation, or "brand", that they value...

Wow, that is unbelievable. Public records and all?! How could they not know? How could they know and not care?!

Hey, @PhotoDave219, you may want to duck your head back into this thread...

THAT is an excellent question.

This sounds like something that could liven up this thread quite a bit! (heck, it even inspired a rare post from me). @Lee I look forward to seeing 1) how this unfolds and, perhaps more interestingly 2) what Celebration Place does (or does not do). I expect the response of those involved will be...

I have seen the "in-house" master plan for the property and you are correct. Not that anyone should be surprised by that!

An article @ParentsOf4 will enjoy! http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-07-07/ceos-get-pay-boost-too-when-they-give-back-cash-to-shareholders

Sorry, @PhotoDave219 - should have clarified that I was subcontracting the response to those comments to you. Lana is on her way to provide counseling!

For the record - yes, I did read the article, in it's original (if brief) publication on the Huffington Post. The title of the article, the paragraph you quoted, as well as the anecdotes Mr. Snyder cited from Hong Kong Disneyland paint a picture of a Disney that is tone-deaf to the culture and...

Yes, I'm quite certain he is. I'm also certain he has a chart illustrating his over qualification.

Information like this makes one believe Gary Snyder and his "Disney CEO Fumbles Entry to China" article to be quite prescient.

I'm not certain which terms would work best either, but believe that continued use of "guest" and "cast member" only perpetuates the myth Disney would like for us to continue to buy into - particularly regarding the parks but also relating to the company as a whole. Apologies for invoking the...

My comment was intended to simply question whether we should still adhere to the language that the company utilizes to describe its customers and employees when it is no longer an honest depiction of the relationship. I agree that this change is a result of the actions and views of upper...

With all of this Spirited talk of reduced CM benefits and potential impact of "surge" pricing on guests I wonder if we should adjust our language to more accurately reflect the relationship of TWDC to those with whom it interacts. After all, a "guest" implies someone that carries some level of...

While not as interesting as the SPIRITed articles referenced earlier, I came across this today: http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/04/07/us-china-tourism-idUSKBN0MY1W220150407 Certainly provides interesting insight and makes one wonder where the line may be for behaviors getting you on "the...

Yes, we had a firm grasp on the fashion of the day! Of course, this was in a day and age when "dressing" for the park did not mean cosplay.

I have lurked among these Spirited corridors for quite some time without posting but came across some old photos taken barely a year after the MK opened that give some perspective on the "original" implementation of the hub. Note the scale of the planters & trees and absence of the castle stage...

True...
