Disney Park execs at WDW this week

[psukardi]

Maybe they can go to MGM and realize how much work it needs. Or they can ponder how EPCOT could realize use another E-Ticket ride? More likely they'll be taken through the typical Sr. Management tour where everything is scheduled down the to the second and everyone is on their best behavior gunning for a promotion.

I think I saw someone say on another thread that some of the execs were seen at HS. I think @Jakester said that? If not, I'm sure he'll correct me.

I saw quite a few big executives yesterday, mainly for frozen stuff. Don't have any idea why/what they were up to.

Were any of them singing at the Norway pavilion?

If they were big theyd be hard to miss.

They are probably here partly because the STCU union contract expires tonight. The union and the company are at the table together right now.

I would tend to agree with that

One would hope they see how much Hollywood Studios needs help and one of them says "hey, why don't we build Frozen here"? But who am I kidding, they'll probably just say "let's do more cheap events to bring everyone in"! The WDW management of today

Nice to see them out and about. You cant run a park from inside an office. I was pretty impressed a number of years ago when I stopped in to get some show times at the Studios and a gentleman came over to assist. He pulled a typed listing (Not printed so it wasn't a times guide of any sort)and read me off the information I was looking for. I looked at his name tag which said "Dan" and I realized why he looked familiar, it was Dan Cockrell! It was pretty cool!! Marie

Cool story. I've never met a Disney exec but I did meet Mark Woodbury during a soft opening of Diagon Alley. Couldn't really talk, just shook his hand.

I didn't know who he was. I googled, it's cool he has trading pins too in his photos lol

Dan is the Man. Comes from a great family history, too.

The upper echelons of Disney Parks execs have been at WDW this week. Meg Crofton, Tom Staggs, George K, Jim MacPhee and others have been out and about.

Maybe they'll get stuck on the monorail?

You think they will venture onboard? I'm thinking black SUVs and vans zipping around backstage. Would be great for them to see first hand the current state of them however.

Someone needs to walk around the parks with a "Blame Meg" t-shirt on

 

[Kman101]

lol. I'd love a pic of them all aboard the monorail. Never gonna happen. It must be time for a yearly check in or something at the parks.

 

[wannabeBelle]

That would be interesting to see all of the head honchos on the monorail!!!! Marie

 

[Sue_Vongello]

I think one of them was overheard saying "We have four parks here?!" ...

Blue Sky Cellar is supposed to reopen in a couple weeks. Perhaps making final plans?

~ever the optimist~

In my opinion.

I hope you're right. I think you are. Disney knows what they have to do. most of the news stories I read are positive but then again spirits posts are extremely negative and he has good sources, but I hope he is wrong.

Public transport??? LOL

Iger closed the NYSE today if anyone was wondering where he was...

 

[Tomi-Rocket]

So are they seeing the BTGs firsthand then? Lol....

BTG? Marie

BTG? Marie

Brazilian Tour Groups. From things I've read (tons) they apparently wreak havoc wherever they go.
