    West Side Parking Garage construction

    Didn't want to break the news first first, but yes that parking will go away on the east side to prepare for the actual springs and eventually the second parking garage. A tentative plan was in December but I pray the project leaders realize it can wait until the second week of January.

    Disney Quest's 'Ride the Comix' set to close this weekend

    As terrible as it is, I find that on average, the level of guest enjoyment is about the same with the couches. Sure, a select few have been disappointed that is gone. But that number pales to the number who got on and later got off due to motion sickness (in adults) or fear (for children). It...

    Bloomberg - No Disney Fun for Orlando Workers as Poverty Nears 20%

    I still don't hear an exact solution. Should I leave the company entirely? I mean I could. But then again, if I could, would I have already? Are you implying I haven't, or the 60000 other employees, haven't thought have that already? I still don't grasp what you are saying. First you said it is...

    Shark Reef to close at Typhoon Lagoon

    I would really wager "cost cutting" It cost a lot to maintain a salt water tank with cleaning the snorkels. I have no doubt a manager will get a promotion for "maximizing profits" because the expenses were cut.

    So...to improve the situation, I need to take up arms? To wage war? To declare a new country? I'm really failing to see what your solution is.

    Bloomberg - No Disney Fun for Orlando Workers as Poverty Nears 20%

    All I can say is this: Do you work for this company? I do, and I will tell you what I see. The most experienced employees are not promoted, because they "are too set in the old ways (of quality)" A select few employees volunteer for unpaid work, listen and nod in agreement to management for...

    Disney Quest's 'Ride the Comix' set to close this weekend

    Game looks like it could be interesting but my first question is: Does it have an English Dub? If the game does not have English it is a no go. It doesn't have to have GOOD English (we have Let's Go Jungle!) But basic English is needed.

    Bloomberg - No Disney Fun for Orlando Workers as Poverty Nears 20%

    My whole point is that someone in their 50's, who has served the company for 20 years, is still an "entry manager" because they side with labor and not management. It has nothing to do with effort, he does more then the three younger managers combined. If you are implying he should quit because...

    Bloomberg - No Disney Fun for Orlando Workers as Poverty Nears 20%

    And like most companies, Disney is not about "what you know" but about "who you know" The company breeds favoritism, and while it is not alone, it doesn't change the fact that relationships triumph merit. The company is about kissing butt, which really explains why it is the way it is today.

    Disney Quest's 'Ride the Comix' set to close this weekend

    I think that is it. It looks very similar to what we already have, and everyone, from management to base employees, agrees that if we cannot get a new ride (which we won't) this is the closest to a new attraction we will get. Rest assured, if it is possible to get, DisneyQuest will get it...

    Bloomberg - No Disney Fun for Orlando Workers as Poverty Nears 20%

    I will tell you this: It won't occur from within WDW. I have the best manager in the world, who has served for the company for 20 years. He serves the equivalent of an "entry manager". Why? Because he does NOT screw his employees. If you know anything about this company, you know it rewards...

    Disney Quest's 'Ride the Comix' set to close this weekend

    You heard it here first: The technology for the newer fighter simulations (oh god, I wish I remember the name, we introduced the game a few months ago. It's a jet fighter game with a 150 degree screen) has a Star Wars prototype that was introduced in Asia. IF that model is mass produced...

    Shark Reef to close at Typhoon Lagoon

    It saddens me, because TL was my home turf in my 3 years at Disney. However, in my experience from the company, it is concerned with short-term profits, not long term, so closing Shark Reef is not unexpected, but very sad. Actually, "very sad" doesn't cut it, because I began my Disney areer at...

    According to the last round of negotiations for pay, I as a cast member should feel "lucky" I am paid 9 dollars an hour.

    Disney Quest's 'Ride the Comix' set to close this weekend

    This whole thread, I really don't know where to start. I work at DisnyQuest now, but I truely wonder if people really want to know the story of the "why" for it, or if they simply want...something else. There is a reason for everything. They are not all good reasons. EDIT: DisneyQuest isn't...
