So how should they measure finical success or failure today if not net profit? GP% is indeed used as a measure but GP% has never been more important than NP% in any business I have been involved in. From what I have read there are more turns at the gate than ever before, the increase in...

You don't know your best friend forever Jill? :)

Wages are not their problems, and with record attendance I would say management is doing a pretty good job. Although I tend to be in the minority on here in that opinion. Record profit from the parks reported correct...

Exactly how I see it as well. I am sure someone will be along shortly to correct us :)

Some folks who have never administered payroll don't understand this. Well made point.

Not a Mickey Bar guy myself, more into those marshmallow treat Mickeys :) But that aside where did I say I would argue that? I said what is and what is not upholding standards is subjective at best and not something that everyone would ever agree on. Do you think differently? But to answer...

Has this thread lasted longer than the test? A wee bit subjective I would say, there is no way that everyone is going to agree what is and what is not upholding.

I dare you to name anything Disney could do that would not get some folks on here angry :)

And I have to disagree with you, if you feel the CMs deserve more then feel free to give them more money out of your pocket while in the parks. Leave my wallet out of it is all I am saying. Small business create tons of jobs, no debate there at all. My comments were aimed towards larger...

Agree to disagree. Again I see it in action daily. I will spend three hours tomorrow in Houston recruiting for my company. Good case in point: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_McMillon Started out working in a warehouse, now runs the entire enchilada. Not a story from the 1970s, 1980s...

To me it's like most things in life for sale (and that is all Disney is, a experience for sale) we all have our different beliefs on what "value" is when considering rather to buy to not. The day that I think WDW is not a value for my money I will stop going, it's that simple to me. I agree...

So you can suspend you "adultness" to go to a magic kingdom repeatedly that is ruled by a talking mouse but superheroes are too much for you? Weird.

Networking with someone you know is certainly the best way to get a job, that has always been true in any period of any country I would think. I think a common mistake is "if I get a degree I will get a good job" that may have been true when degrees were less common but not in todays world. Too...

Oh I know but I love Ripsaw, better than Splash Mountain! Plus it's not as bad as that other water ride at IOA, that thing is a beast.

LOL I saw that one too in the theater. Heck I wrote McFarland a letter once (mid 90s) telling him how much I liked his Spiderman stuff, he wrote me back. Pretty cool :)

WOW, I think I might just strip and run around naked for the first day in that room! Sweet..... But if they ain't posting the price I ain't affording the price :(

Who didn't like superheroes? They need their man card ripped away and "I'm a Commie" branded on their forehead! :)

I am fine with both systems (room renters should get perks IMO) but I can't see how Uni is more fair. If I am a resort guest at both resorts and you are not for example I can line hop (Express Pass) on you for Ripsaw Falls 10 times in a row if we ride it at the same time if I want, I can only...

Oh come on you would so take advantage of a Photo Pass in front of it and you know it! :) I am kidding of course, I don't mind the hat as it is now but a giant Olaf head might be a bit much. o_O

Looking forward to ours, we arrive Saturday, eating QS at the AKL that night and getting our TIW card the next morning on the way into DHS. And discounts on food and drinks to follow!
