Seriously? TDO is the top of the chain of command in Orlando...granted there are folks above them in California,etc.... If the leadership wants something to happen or to not happen, they are the ones who push the policies down the chain of command to MAKE it so.
Under your "misconception" WDI would be free to do whatever they wanted to do to make the resort better... and granted I WISH this was the case... it is clearly not.....
