This isn't about the designers, it's about management and more to the point Eisner. I worked on the DCA project (animation attraction) and it was Eisner's idea to keep cutting budget. Every time we had a meeting with him, we lost money (and Peter Schneider is a whole other story). We all knew the park wasn't going to come out well.
They have the people in place to do great projects, they just need to let them be creative. And Lasseter will hopefully make it a fun place to be again. He understands the creative and business sides, he's what they need.

Just to spice things up a bit...

In today's article, Jim Hill confirms what has been floating around as rumor for a few weeks now: Pete Docter is going to be the new sheriff in town over at WDI.

Very interesting.....

Pete Docter is nuts (in a good way!) He will probably greenlight all sorts of attractions.

Nah. That's not what he's there for. He's there to help reorganize the division and do away with the destructive policies and politics that have been eating away at WDI for a few years now.

As an additional thought....
It would appear from what I am hearing that Docter may not be taking a full time position at WDI, merely keeping an eye on it and making reccomendations to Lassater and Iger from time to time. It's likely that Docter will stay at Pixar and work on movies.

Tony Baxter should be in charge of WDI as far as im concerned. He more than deserves it for his years of unweavering loyalty to true Disney quality.
