In this new article Jim Hill shows an e-mail from an imagineer, who says that Disney fans should basically shut up and stop complaining about what they are creating.
I don't agree with it at all. If the fans don't challenge the imagineers to create the best attractions then they will become complacent and just put in the minimum amount of effort. Also the average guest that books a trip to Walt Disney World is probably not aware of the kind of experience that Walt Disney wanted to give families. Many go because of the Disney name and to allow their children to say we took a Disney trip, not because they feel a connection to the parks or Walt Disney's dream.
I also understand that Walt Disney is long gone and that we shouldn't always ask what he would do, but I think the Walt Disney Company has a responsibility to carry out his legacy and build the best quality attractions they can and listen to the criticism of others. If all we do is tell them what they are doing right what is there for them to work on.
