Hope this is true and Joe is back. The Hawaii project is wrapping up which should free up his time for another project. Hopefully he can bring life into AK that died after he left to work in Hawaii.

You know Iger was at the helm during the Rasulo days, right?

Except when Walt and Roy were whacked in the face by finance people they responded that they did not care and did it anyway.

so yeah sorry about that. I'm obviously just messing around. I'm totally not serious (so far, i'm liking what iger is doing in fact, just joking around above). You can probably imagine one of the other things i did as a kid besides visiting wdw.

Roy made the finance work for Walt whereas most finance people told Walt he was insane.

While Roy did keep Walt in line with costs, it hard to argue that he did not also spend much more time enabling Walt, and often that was done by putting way too many eggs in one basket. Heck, just look at all that he poured into opening Walt Disney World.

You know it takes awhile before someone new comes into power to see the changes.
Not to mention how long projects are in development, etc. - but regardless, all I can say is that since Iger took over, we've been going in the right direction.
/shrug
Except for the fact that Rasulo was promoted to CFO. Granted , in this role he can cause less direct damage to the park but as long as he remains with the company and the "Disney Parks" brand is still being used, I still remain somewhat fearful.

Think for yourselfer
This is closer to the truth.
The very simplistic way to look at their relationship was to think of Walt as the wide eyed dreamer, and to think of Roy as the tight fisted money man. Reality is not so easy to box in however. Roy found ways to make Walt's crazy dreams and ideas reality. His job in their partnership was not to turn down Walt's ideas, but to secure the financing to make them happen. This is evidenced time and time again if you know the history of TWDC. Snow White, DisneyLand, WDW, ect...

Often times yes. Sadly this may turn out not to be one of them...in a way.
Yes. True.
But the real story is, who else was at the resort this week, and why?
Iger was there. Staggs was there. And...sequestered in a sealed off floor at the Boardwalk...the Board of Directors of the WDC.
Oh...and a certain Saudi Prince. The one who already owns a big chunk of DLP.:lookaroun
This story isn't over. It may get much bigger in the coming days.

I hear the Prince got a steal.

You must run in the same group of insiders as another spirit that can be found online. And if what he's saying has any truth to it...and since you're finally bringing the same likes over here, I think that WDW fans have a great deal to worry about in the coming years.
And people say Iger is doing better than Eisner ever did...hah!

As others have said. Roy wasn't Walt's "No" Man...Roy was his "find the way to get it done man". When Walt got going on an idea, there was nothing Roy could do to stop him from seeing the plan through. If Roy wasn't able to secure the proper funding, Walt found some other way. Roy was also very good at finding new business ventures for the company himself in terms of marketing, consumer merchandise deals, and diversifying the company. Roy was the FINANCE guy in respect to finding the way to financing.
Neal Gabler does a good job of explaining all of this.

Sort of. There is a free flow of information along certain channels.
It does.
Maybe, but not necessarily. (See: OLC)
Doesn't it? Gonna be an interesting few days as info (hopefully) begins to filter out.The Mom said:
NOTE: Let me just add... I wasn't there. I can't testify to what all was discussed.
Could have been just about DLP...
Could have been just about Four Seasons...
But to have the whole Board there, in secret, meeting with the Prince...

That goes along what I mentioned to him last night....seemingly TWDC hasn't cared much about WDW as of late, so if we get another company that actually cares it could mean great things. As with OLC...Disney isn't the best at doing Disney anymore. But I'm not sure if the Prince is at the same caliber...Paris doesn't exactly get raving reviews, and the other spirit I mentioned thinks it could just be a trophy to add to his collection (though i'll point out that he did say he doesn't know the prince personally and that was just an educated guess).
I get that everyone is speculating here. So now we all just have to wait and see that happens!
