"Quality is the Best Business Plan" - Tokyo Disney's Annual Report

[COProgressFan]

The differences between Tokyo Disney and WDW are not attributably only to isolated business decisions, but to more far reaching cultural differences.
The world has changed. America / the West can not provide the same standards of quality and innovation as East Asia can. We have got the second rate parks now.

The Japanese guest is a Tokyo professional who works sixty hours a week, who visits Disney in a suit and spends on quality escapism. The Florida guest is an obese Walmart customer who wants to see the celebs - cartoon or human - he saw on tv.


~ was that too harsh? ~

Hyperbole yes, but still a sad commentary, not only about WDW, but corporate America and a reflection of ourselves as well...

I wish Disney would sell the american parks to OLC

Not too harsh. Funny, and 75% inaccurate.

I'd say 35% correct, seeing over in Cali they are producing quality, they have a philosophy where they want to create quality, expand and innovate, and they also have a fanbase that demands all of this.
