A Spirited 15 Rounds ...

I am all for new leadership. John's issue's aside I think it was time for a creative shakeup.

Well this could get interesting, I always wanted Peter Doctor to become the head of Pixar.

Walt Disney Animation is giving the staff a “Day of Listening” on Thursday February 1. Kim Masters reports that John’s pretty much toast, but Disney management wants to first check with the staff to see if he could come back. Pete Doctor and one, possibly two, Directors like Andrew Stanton or Byron Howard or Jennifer Lee could serve in the Chief Creative Officer role for the two studios.

I recently created a thread dedicated to this on the politics sub forum just in case.

Food for thought from the NYTimes’ series on the state of the NYC Subway. Build things to do more than exist and people will grow to love and take care of it. Particularly vital with the ongoing monorail crisis and the decision to build the gondolas over monorail expansion.

Just look at the Moscow metro system as an example the stations are beautiful and people respect them as a result.

Still wondering how these two instances came to be at same time in different parks in different countries.. some Maintenance team joke?

This could be wildly wrong, but I was wondering if there could be a certain part supplier or new part that caused the failure in both situations.

Another slow day on the forum today. I'm sure things will get interesting tomorrow which Disney will be having a "Day Of Listening".

The good news is that, according to the press release, Nintendo will be a co-financier on the movie.

Does anyone find that the chat feature on the DW help website is always offline because the CMs are "busy"? Shouldn't they just form a queue? Weird.

I wonder how Disney's "Day Of Listening" is going?

obviously well enough to say bye to you know who.

It’s a day about the toxicity of the studio culture. Not really something to eagerly await hearing about.

fundamentally absurd.

corporate gobbledygook, nothing more.

if you're not fostering an environment that's 'listening' every single day, you suck.

I'm not eager, I'm just curious.

Based on your avatar I'll just say, "Be careful."

We need @WDW1974. What's the reason for the MK theater cancellation?

I had that happen just a few hours ago. Funny how if you start searching resort availability for 5 days or more the chat icon will sometimes slide in even when they are "busy"
