Garner Holt won multiple awards for their AA creations at DisneySea, so they most likely created the more impressive ones.I'd have to double-check, but that sounds right to me. yes ...

The only project they were involved in was the first parade for TDS. http://garnerholt.com/common/showimage.ashx/313642.jpgGarner Holt won multiple awards for their AA creations at DisneySea, so they most likely created the more impressive ones.
You are right in the fact that WDI did most of the AA work in the attractions at DS, the awards listed here are for mostly the sets and scenery and the parade: http://www.garnerholt.com/ghp-inc/about-us/clients.aspxAre you certain?
Do you have a source for that?
If it isn't outsourced, it should be. And if it IS outsourced, they should choose one company and have them handle all the web content. Their web network is an absolute disaster.
Am I correct in understanding that the "lower level" IT jobs are outsourced and the system admins and higher are all internal?You seem to think that outsourced IT is better than internal. In my 25 years of experience, it can vary greatly, I've seen good and bad on both sides. Much depends on the managerment and system architects too.
I've been dealing with Disney IT since the late 90's, and while I have seen many improvements, believe it or not (like getting new rates and offers into the systems much faster, it used to take days or even weeks), there is still a great feeling of things lacking.
Yes.

I know some stuff is outsourced to IBM and another company whose name escapes me. But to what extent, I am not sure. I know you normally dont see "help desk" level positions on the disney jobs site... believe, I am always looking. THe posted jobs tend to be system admins and higher.This would not surprise me.
Walt Disney Productions used to be a creative company now its just the "Disney holding, branding and marketing company. Again, I must insist Iger has been worse than Eisner long term. At least Eisner had some vision.
Eisner also had Wells to help steer the ship.Eisner didn't just have vision. He was also passionate and proud of the Disney name. We all know the stories of Eisner. Sure he was cocky and arrogant, but I'll take that over what we have now. As most of us know Iger is just on cruise control until he's done and then he's off to Washington.
Eisner also had Wells to help steer the ship.
