I understand you can't make everyone happy with every attraction created, but this attraction stinks. I have seen people walk away in midshow. And kids look just bored with it. Why this show when we have Stitchs great escape?

I thought he gave us the "temporary" Mickey's Birthdayland. I know he gave us Stitch.

Do you honestly believe that every single thing that ever happened during Eisner's days at Disney was 100% involved with him? The CEO of a mass media corporation often has better things to do than oversee the development of a theme park promotion, let alone one that took 3 months to go from conception to reality.
 
The new Stitch's Supersonic Celebration show will be closing in 2 weeks. I'm not sure if the show will reopen down the road or be re-worked. This was the info I was given and of course things can change.

1) Just another failure to add to the long list of Imagineering blunders.
2) Examples:
. . . poor concept and under built California Adventure
. . . under built Animal Kingdom
. . . under built Hong Kong
. . . under built MGM Studios
. . . poor concept and placement Disney Paris (never made a dime)
. . . poor concept and under built Studios Paris
. . . Pooh playground
. . . Everest (Yeti still not working)
. . . American Idol
. . . Stitch ride
. . . Stitch show
. . . etc

1) Imagineers didn't have a hand in this attraction.
2) Half of the stuff listed was not WDI's fault, but the blunder of incredibly high budget cuts.

When I first saw the new "land" it was very obvious to me that a new strategy was being implemented. "Quality Will Out" was replaced by "Cheaper and More". The Walmarting of all things Disney goes back to Eisner with decidedly mixed results. Iger and company are still trying to recover TWDC from many of those decisions. From feature animation to theme parks attraction developments, all were damaged in some way.

Now before it sounds like I'm Eisner bashing, I give him credit for the second "golden age" of animation before he nearly destroyed the division.
His purchase of ESPN was genius, I just wish he had spun off ABC. Everthing he did has mixed results.

As for WDW, I think he got more right than wrong although it is close. It's going to be awhile before his errors are fixed but it is obvious to me they are moving in that direction one small step at a time.

Except, you know Birthdayland came around when Frank Wells was still around, the person who most Eisner haters claim was the only creative force in the company then. So obviously, he thought this was a good idea too.

I would be suprised unless when it was thought to be "temporary", Wells actually believed it. As a temporary "land" it made sense. What it has turned into does not make sense. Apologies to all who have tried to fix it, but compared to Toontown at DL, it's just sad.

Imagineering blunders? You don't know what you're talking about, clearly.

It's called a "budget" and Imagineering has NOTHING to do with budget. If it were up to them, they'd spend whatever it took to make every attraction what they want it to be. Unfortunately, they have budgets to follow, which equal cuts to the great ideas, which equals new attractions that are a fraction of what WDI designed them to be.

Agreed. We need a legitimate Toontown. but to say that we didn't get one because Eisner was evil and didn't want one is off the mark IMO. You are always saying how the other parks need to be helped before MK, well Eisner had 2 brand new parks open underneath him that needed help before a full-fledged Toontown could be finished.
