This is a good thing. Right?

 

[stretchsje]

I'm interested to know how/if this ties into the cancelled theater and what it means for the future. Too many unknowns to have this conversation now, though.

 

[ChrisFL]

interesting

interesting

indeed, every time there is reshuffle though it never seems to pan out to be worthwhile, but will see. I cant help but think this somehow does tie in to the theater funds changing to another project.

Another round of corporate musical chairs...

Um this is good news right?

Any words on this @marni1971 and @WDW1974?

 

[mouse_luv]

Crossing fingers that this will be good.

about time they moved Michael C on out of DL.. the WDW changes sound like the usual deck shuffling as they 'develop' their leaders

Could this be a sign?

IMHO it could be a lot worse.

Maybe he will change/influence the direction for FW and UoE specifically to be more like classic FW? Sorry, just taking a last stab at getting EC back. I think I know the answer to all of this.

UOE is done, gutted, and construction has started inside. Just not going to happen Chappie wouldn’t allow it.

Not quite. Not that that will change things.

Although the maintenance bay is now a separate building.

he has forty years at Disney so he knows the good and bad years.

Still a bit worried.

He was VP of Epcot when I first started there 10 years ago and I do remember seeing him around the park quite often. No one seemed to hate him.

Didn't know MacPhee was still in the company. I thought he was the sacrificial lamb for MM+ a few years back.
