Main street window for Meg Crofton?

[disney4life2008]

Who cares? Disney isn't a charity or a government agency! If they want to ball up dollar bills and light the fireworks with them, they can. There is a really weird ownership that some of you take over the place. We are the customers, not part of the business.

First of all I asked a QUESTION! Now had I added "I bet our tax dollars, or our ticket fees paid for their dinner" you would be in the right to question my question! However, I simply asked "who paid" because I genuinely want to know! Regarding your critique: There is a strong critique that the honor Meg Crofton received is not warranted as there are many other disney legends who should have the honor. I suggest you learn the history of the names on the windows then come back here and provide a contextual historical argument as to where she fits.

Actually as share holders we do own part of the business

Yes. Well said. And honestly as much money as disney guests pay we have every right to question anything. They will not listen to us but we can question and complain.

This is by far the most ridiculous statement I have ever read in the 9 years I have been a member here. The pompous attitude of memebers who THINK they know anything on this site is beyond unreasonable.

I agree that sometimes us fans claim a bit too much ownership of a company we are merely purchasing goods and services from. But it certainly makes for an entertaining afternoon!

That said, are you able to enlighten us why we should miss Meg now that she left? The company didn't fill her vague senior executive position after she left five months ago, and no one here has been able to tell a whit of difference in the way the parks are being run on either coast without Meg. Or without anyone in the role of "President Parks & Resorts, America & France" Why is that?

If you are able to decipher that ridiculously phony LinkedIn phrasing on her Main Street USA window, can you tell us why this division of this company is hurting without Meg?

Meg's business on that upper floor office as claimed by the window is this...

Leadership Development & Mentoring
Meg Gilbert Crofton - Founder
"We start leaders on their journeys"

The modern HR LinkedIn culture of psycho-babble is fun to laugh at, but what the heck does that window mean? And why didn't they fill Meg's role when she left if it was so important to all those "leaders" going on mysterious "journeys"? Was Meg really the only person capable of starting leaders on journeys and that's why they can't fill her old position?

There's really some legitimate questions here, if you or anyone else can help decipher it would be appreciated.

Congratulations, Meg! Disney cast members have appreciated your leadership. We wish you the best in your retirement.

Hi, Walt!

Meg actually retired almost six months ago now, on June 1st. But she just got her window now.

Can you tell us what kind of leadership Meg provided that was so appreciated by Disney's employees in the Parks & Resorts division? What did Meg do, exactly? And why didn't the company fill her position when she retired?

It is not up to me to know the historical context (although I do happen to have a fair sense of Disney history). I am not the one who chooses who gets a window...and neither is anyone here.

I do apologize for jumping on your question about dinner. I wrongly assumed it was a negative judgement.

No problem

The simple solution to this is to not pay. You are acting like you have no choice.

(And I realize this is a losing battle. No matter what I say haters gonna hate.)

And your point is? She never worked a day in a theme park. Name something that she did which will have a lasting, positive effect the parks.

She retired.

hahah, that is a question maybe only Iger can attempt to answer....

 

[Monorail_Red_77]

So that's the test for a window now? 30+ years of tenure with the company?

If that's the case. Dan, you better buy more windows. I hear next year they are building a bridge from TTC over the lagoon to MK entrance. It will be lined with windows on both sides. Now everyone will get a window.

 

[Monorail_Red_77]

Let them paint that on the window.

Um, Lilly... You're gonna need a bigger window.

 

[TP2000]

Apparently not.

It's been a week now, and while they've repeatedly returned to this forum since then, neither @Walter Elias Disney or @WDW Monorail or anyone else for that matter has been able to explain to us exactly what Meg Crofton did that was so wonderful, why the WDW Resort is worse off without her, and more tellingly why her allegedly vital leadership position was not filled upon her "retirement" six months ago.

I was hoping someone might have been able to explain it to us simpletons, even if it was in that silly corporate psycho-babble that people who work their entire lives in Human Resources cubicle farms are so good at in the 21st century. But they couldn't even give us a fake HR answer.
