i for one are not worried about budget cutting. most buisnesses have done it, we are in fact in a recessionary time. disney is currently looseing money not makeing it, if they keep loosing more investers they could be setting them selves up to sell more of the company (whice we do not want them to do) or get put in a position for a takeover of the company. no i am not in investing or want not but I think this is basic economics. attendance has been down for almost 2 years now and sept (though not completely to blame) didn't help matters. presslers main expertise was marketing, when he was moved up the chain of command we noticed a big surge in stores. look at downtown disney, in just a few years it grew from a nice little village to a mega shopping complex. look at the new mall like setting of the stores on main street, everywhere you turn is a shop, and the end of the ride is a shop. alot of disneys money went into keeping these stores stocked, who needs a refurb when we can build a shop. I think pressler will do wonders for the gap, because thats where his expertise is. now they should be able redirect alot of that money that they have been useing for shops and stuff and move that into maintnance, and CM's and just keeping th park clean and neat i think they would see spending at the parks actually go down. now I think i heard somewhere the money they are useing to fix the parks was the money they set aside for a 5th gate. which is good I rather see them add to what is there then build a new park. the problems that happened in the past 15 years isn't going to be fixed over night with a new coat of paint, and on top of that they have to deal with low attendance and not makeing any money. my opinion is that it is going to be at least 5 years ti just FIX and rechannel money to where it needs to be to keep the parks up. I am still looking at this as a positive, yes eisner did have a hand it what happened but i think him and pressler were so buddy buddy that pressler stoaked eisners penny pinching abilities. disney needs to start makeing money first so stocks go up, then we will see things go up. i don't think eisner will let the parks completely be forgotten, right now it's still where they get their biggest return.
