Main street window for Meg Crofton?

[SpaceMountain77]

Among other things, Meg Crofton allowed characters to infiltrate it's a small world at Disneyland because the attraction cannot be a museum. Unfortunately for Mary Blair, Meg Crofton does not view hopes and fears as common threads in child and adolescent development. Meg Crofton's small world teaches us that children and adolescents around the world share a common love of Disney and Pixar characters.

Corporate butt-kissing.

Even though I dislike Meg (of all the freaking people) has gotten a Main Street window, I guess we should be somewhat thankful it wasn't something disgustingly obvious like Lord Holmes in New Fantasyland.

Oh my god, yes.
Back when I still worked for (and had some faith in) The Mouse, it was my dream to someday climb high enough in the company to take that embarrassment down.

Anyone have a photo of the window? Looked around online and at websites for area news outlets and didn't find anything. Although it's probably not really considered news except to people like us.

I call shenanigans for everything that window says....

Ugh. How nauseating. I should think the window should be more along the lines of "Crofton & Marley - Accountants"

'Leadership development'?

Can't they limit that hot air for LinkedIn and resumé fluff?

 

[Uncle Lupe]

I blame Meg.

According to her bio she was a lifelong executive. Never working in a small role, sounds like a leader to me.

I say she deserves the Montgomery Burns Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence.

 

[scout68]

About as far as I would go.

Well, that sign is true if:

Leadership = following orders

Development = discouraging new construction

Mentoring = ignoring lower ranking employees

 

[tongaloosh]

Out of curiosity, would there actually have been people focused on "leadership development" and "mentoring" in the time period of Main Street? Sounds too modern to me. I call bad show!

Do we think those poorly covered bolt-looking pieces to the left of the window are where the new Christmas arches attach?

Well spotted. Modern management lingoism doesn't feel to have any connection to MS. Even if MS is not designed to be an exercise in historical reenactment.

And it is so devoid of playfulness or humour. If Megara Crofton has a background in Human Resources, then why not give her, say, a kindergarten window.

This is really just suits plastering their names and likeness over the MK, rather than actual designers adding playful notes about themselves and some legends. Something feels a bit off.

Good call. But obviously the company isn't worried about trivial stuff like appropriate theming any more. It's all about the money (and executives honoring themselves, apparently).

 

[rael ramone]

A question I have is: What was there before?

Was it a window 'saved' to honor a future leader?

Or did they delete someone who added to the park to add someone who deleted from the park?

Perhaps the next 'honoree' will have as his make believe business title 'Value Engineer'.

So I posted a comment that her face should be printed on a specific item used in the restrooms...appears to have been removed - sorry if that was over the line! Never my intention to be crass or rude! Perhaps I should say this - her face should be printed on the trash bags at WDW instead. (?)

My initial reaction when seeing this thread - "No way!".

My reaction after reading this thread - "OH HELL NO!"

Between this atrocious display of hubris and the AP price hikes (well, there's a whole host of other things, too), it's clear that TWDC cares nothing about its history and Walt's legacy and is focused on one thing and one thing only - $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Wait... This just in! Disney to issue new "Disney Dollars", in multiple denominations ranging from $1,000 to $100,000 (good only at Disney Parks in the US). Word on the street is each bill will feature a difference upper management portrait on the front, and phrases like, "In MyMagic+ We Trust" on the reverse.

Meg Crofton has literally devoted her entier working life to the company but you geniuses on this website clearly know better than her.
