But there's the rub. Disney has let some of us down with the some of the changes. Some blame WDI for poor ideas, some blame management who decides how much money is spent, some blame both.
And then there's the problem with guest demographics. Who do you keep happy? The family with small children, the older family with teen children, more "mature" adults whose kids are on their own, or older teens/twenty something who have more spending capability now then ever before? How long do you let lower attendance go on before you scrap an attraction that cost tens of millions of dollars 15 to 20 years ago? Everyone can have an opinion about this stuff, but let's face it: our careers are not riding on these decisions (although some of us would like to give it a shot - lol).
When I read all of these posts about what should and shouldn't be done (and where), I can't help but think about Tokyo DisneySeas. From what I've seen on TV, WDI can do the job, when someone is willing to sign the checks. I think that the best that any of us can hope for, is that when Disney makes changes (and they will - it's inevitable), three things will happen: the best of the best in WDI's files will get used, the checks will be written without hesitation, and the theme/quality will live up to the standards that Walt started. Anything less will fall short of what most of us expect from Disney.
