Eisner at Animal Kingdom Lodge

...but ABC should not be forced to act under "Disney"-values. When ABC aired the fashion show, it just happened to appear on a Disney owned network. Disney didn't sponser DIRECTLY. If the show was shown right before "The Wonderful World of Disney," then I take issue.

After all, Miramax (owned by Disney) makes movies that are definitely not intended for the family audience. However, does that mean that Disney should remove all ties to them?

No, not remove all ties. But I DO think Disney should not be pasting their name all over things that do not reflect the wholesome image that the Disney name should imply. Again I refer to this example "The Walt Disney Company's ABC Presents the Victoria's Secret Lingerie Show" Had they left it simply as "ABC Presents the Victoria's Secret Lingerie Show." without plastering the Disney name all over it, I don't think I would care as much.

Its one thing to own a company and simply stay behind the scenes making decisions and collecting a profit. Its another thing to plaster your name on anything you think might get big ratings on TV. I'm just saying that they should show a little more discresion before throwing the Disney name around.

Management only? That's have a Town Hall Meeting without the town. Sad.

Fine. Just let him retire quickly. But after taking $1 Billion in compensation I think stockholders have a right to demand no mistakes.

Yes, and if Walt or Roy were still in charge of this company, Disney would have never been involved to begin with.

Believe it or not, there are millions of people out there that crave family appropriate material. Disney has been very successfull in developing programing that is child appropriate that is not necessarily core Disney character related (i.e. Wiggles, Rollie Pollie Ollie, and recent ties with Baby Einstein). There is so much more they could do. The next best alternative is Hana Barbara toons (cartoon network) and it is so violance and "monster" saturated its sad.

All I am saying is that there is a market for Disney that they have barely scratched the surface on and they are not cultivating that market to their fullest ability because of their attention to X, R, and PG13 endevours.

And yes, this has all to do with Eisner who happens to be staying at the AK lodge. Think he will be doing any meet and greets?

AKL has had some famous visitors in the past two weeks...

D-i ck Clark just recently checked out of his 1-bedroom suite and the Judd's(Wynona, Ashley and momma Judd) were recently staying in the royal Asanti ( aka Pres. Suite).

Do cast members get warnings of Eisner's upcoming trips to WDW so they can be reminded to watch their behavior, dress, etc? I know we get a memo at my job when the "top dogs" come into town and are visiting our properties which indirectly means we have to wear business suits and shorten our lunches/breaks so they do not assume we all leave the office unattended.

I think they are notified of an impending rat infestation when he is on property.
