Ah, young Dreamfinder, someone on top of the news. This may not be big news here, but it is sending ripples thru many top corporations today. And, yes, that would certainly include Disney. .... because some of the same mistakes made mere miles off the Florida coast are being repeated on a smoggy, dusty site in the Pudong (lots of words) Tourism zone.
The above is a VERY ugly situation. And it just keeps getting worse. But Darth Iger has nothing to worry about, I'm sure ...

That's an American problem. I can think of maybe five cities in the nation where you don't really have to own a car (if you work or go to school or want to venture beyond a mile or two of home). And California is an ode to our car culture.

They existed during the "good years" people love to praise Eisner for leading.
Because fans just don't fundamentally understand the business, though the defenders of (blank) -- at both Disney and UNI -- will trot out the ''it's a business'' line almost like a trained raptor.
The business is so incestuous. Sure, they all want to come out on top. But, moreso, they all just want to bathe in money. They have no issues with the 'competition' doing so as well. Right now, it would appear the Disney/UNI relationship has never been better. And, no, I am not kidding.

Wait, so have we already shifted back over to being unhappy about all of this again? Darn. Well, it was a good run, I guess. Made it a whole few days.
Because history has shown that they largely are incapable of doing their job: cleaning the rooms.

Why didn't they care about the show when they were first put up and left for years on end? Did they care back then or didn't they? It seems like a very strong contradiction to me. Or perhaps when did they start caring and then stop again?
That just means that social media ripped the products (and, no, I don't think it was as bad an idea as some) and, as I've said before, SHAME works on Disney.
The issue is the fan community can never get its (other word for feces) together and hit Disney over something of substance be it show quality, value,, treatment of CMs, pricing policies etc.

So I've been doing a little research regarding the Strategic Planning Group thing and just thought I'd pop in to say that I now really need to read Disneywars. I can't believe TWDC is bringing together the "band". One thing is for sure...Peter Murphy is unlikely to return as lead vocalist.
Ah, this is what has the fanbois all a Twitter? Really?
Who cares? What did anyone expect? That the CFO would be a creative or someone who could appreciate them?
Christine has a long history with the company and she has a vagina to boot, which makes the hire look better to the outside world.
Her history (and Kevin's) really doesn't matter. It is Disney replacing Strat Planners with other Strat Planners. You don't like it? Take it up with The Weatherman (sorry, that his nickname ... not using the dumb Darth Iger one!)
Anyway, I hear Ted 2 is Oscar-worthy, so I need to head to the cineplex. Should I pay for the Imax or just the 3D?

Sounds like these folks have always been there, they are just moving this function back out from under Rasulo. It isn't as if they are starting from scratch again with folks who haven't spent any time at the company.

True but we're talking about the same people who practically ruined The company in the late 90s and early 2000s. The same names over and over again… It's genuine cause for concern.

Go IMAX. NEVER go IMAX 3-D! (What is the purpose...IMAX destroys the 3-D aspect)

I'm sorry, help me understand why that isn't one of the "details" that made Disney so special. You are alright with it going away because instead of demanding that mousekeeping do their job while maintaining the "magic" you are willing to give one up to get the other? Why? That seems to be, to me anyway, an area that Disney can completely control. No mechanical issues, no old equipment to break down, just supervised labor being told to do their job, which included, amongst other things, making towel animals. This is something that directly impacts the "Guests" to a degree much more significant then a few trees removed or an occasional paint chip or a trash can that needs emptying. Why isn't this important to be concerned about especially when it would be so easy to have both.

Andrew Carver is at the Paradiso this year. He might be at the Riviera next year, or the Stardust the year after that. He's part of the team, so are you.
Apologies, but all this talk of co-mingling made me go there

True, I've lived in Boston without a car for over a decade, and I'm lucky to be able to do that. But I still think it's a knock against the American parks, as it is a factor when choosing whether we want to fly to the swamps, rent a car, and drive around beautiful central Florida, or fly to Tokyo, use their amazing subway system, and see the sights of Japan.
As far as car culture goes, I think it's more of a matter of "well, we designed your environment so you need a car to exist. I guess you have a car culture now" than a real love of cars. But then I'm an anti-car, tree hugging wacko.

Understood. But they would also have to be involved with the big budget that was apparently just approved and were likely elevated because of their recent contributions and not their performance 10 years ago.
I get the hesitation. But everything good and bad within the last year or so would have had to be supported and likely championed by the folks promoted, otherwise their influence wouldn't have supported the promotions. The only dependable thing about corporations is that you only get rewarded on what you just did and loyalty only lasts as long as your last good idea.
