I cringe every time I walk into Seas and every time I get in the d@#n clam and every time I see the unused dive tube and the peeling paint and the tank which hasn't been cleaned in a decade. I cringe at many, many things across the parks. But sometimes creative just has to do what they are told and we resign ourselves to fixing things later if we get the opportunity.
But I also marvel at the art direction within DAK and the fact that even expansions to that park like the new market in Harambe still uphold the same quality standard years after it opened. I still get as excited when I walk into Tower of Terror as I do walking into the Haunted Mansion - both being examples of the highest level of talent that WDI has to give during different eras. I love Everest, Yeti or not. And even with Epcot as it is now, it's still a park that I walk into and it just feels good. There's good and there's bad to everything, regardless of the politics or the battles or anything else. At the end of the day, if you walk in and you smile, I'm happy. And the good people I know and work with will continue to try make the parks a better place - adding new items and fixing past mistakes - as much as we are able to, across the industry.
