And Bob has been getting some nice promotions even before the doors have swung open in Shanghai.

"[E]xplore other opportunities" sure sounds like "spending more time with family."

WONDERFUL choice. Never cared for Vaughn. He seemed inauthentic to me. Anyone else get that feeling?

For clarification's sake, Weis wasn't on the DisneySea design team - at least not credited on the official list.

Just from watching video clips...Vaughn seemed like a real cocky little Delta Oscar Uniform Charlie Hotel Echo... in interviews and question sessions with fans...

Anyone know if Rhode will ever make it up the ladder that far?

Though I wouldn't mind if he brought the Kirk brothers, the creative leads on TDS, back to WDI.

He's managed to keep a job in journalism.... that says something.

For the ignorant/uninitiated (me), what does this foretell? Good? Bad? Uncertain? I know nothing about the suits, let alone who he is replacing.

He is a wonderful choice but, of course, for us to see benefit he needs relatively loose reins and healthy budgets.

Give it a few. Writing articles on Dumbo the Flying Elephant isn't exactly worthy of a full time gig
