Disney Management Sings!

I was told I should post this somewhere a bit more obvious, since I wrote it for the monorail condition thread on a whim. If @WDW1974 thinks this isn't a good home for the final version, I'll gladly remove it. Just let me know!

Otherwise, enjoy!

This parody works best if you start the music below, and then follow along with the lyrics!



(Guest) "Disney World, it's a Magic Kingdom.
Memories, of the days before.
But what you find, are the Disney Managers.
Waking up to say..."

(Myers) "Buy more!"
(Staggs) "Buy more!"
(Crofton) "Buy more!"
(Kalogridis) "Buy more!"
(MacPhee) "Buy more!"

(Guest) There goes the V.P. of Park Op-er-a-tions. He's really busy I can tell!
And he thinks what would be neat, is another meet and greet.
Cause they make those Princess dresses sell so well.

(Staggs) "Good Morning, Guest, where are you off to?"
(Guest) "To Epcot! I just finished the most wonderful story about a Dreamfinder and a dragon and..."
(Staggs) "That's nice." (turns away disinterested) "MEG! The pro-fits! Hurry up!"

(Crofton and Kalogridis) "Look there they go, those Guests don't see the magic, that we have crafted up so well."
(Myers) "They don't like our magic bands."
(Staggs) "But who cares about the fans."
(All of them) "Unless they buy the things we have to sell!"

(MacPhee) "Buy more!"
(Crofton) "To-day!"
(MacPhee) "How is the Starbucks?"

(Crofton) "Buy more!"
(Myers) "Quick pay!"
(Staggs) "It's on your wrist."

(Monorail Driver) "I need, up-keep."
(Kalogridis) "That's too expensive."

(Guest) "There must be bet-ter, may-be up I-Drive?"

(Kalogridis) "Ah, Guest!"
(Guest) "Good Morning! Where is the new ride you promised?!"
(Kalogridis) "But those are rumors, you came already?"
(Guest) "It's the only reason I drove down! Have you got anything new?"
(Kalogridis) "Well, Tangled restrooms?"
(Guest) "That's not right. I'll go to...Uni then"
(Kalogridis) "Universal? But you've been there twice!"
(Guest) "But it's got some favorites. Far off places, daring thrill rides. Magic spells, and it's clean and it's nice!"
(Kalogridis - sarcastic) "Well, if you like it that much, it's yours."
(Guest) "But sir!"
(Kalogridis - sarcastic) "I insist. We can always find others."
(Guest) "Thank you, thank you very much!"

(Senior Park Management) "Look there they go, those Guests are so peculiar."
(Senior Park Management) "We've got a awesome rolling shell!"
(Crofton) "In our copied Mermaid ride,"
(MacPhee) "That's bor-ing and plas-tic inside."
(All management) "What a puzzle to the rest of us, oh well."

(Guest) "Oooooh, isn't this amazing. It's my favorite ride, because you'll see."
(Guest) "Here's where you'll meet Ron Weasley, and you'll even get to pick a wand like Harry P!"

(Crofton) "This makes me wonder if those Guests are silly, they'd think our ticket sales had fell."
(Staggs) "But, they really cannot see, our strong earnings Quarter Three."
(Kalogridis) "Very different from the rest of us..."

(Senior Park Management) "They're nothing like the rest of us, they're different then the rest of us, oh well!"

(A gunshot rings out and a bullet shoots down Iron Man)

(Rasulo) "WOW. You never flub a deal, Bob! Your the best IP hunter in the WORLD!"
(Iger) "I know."
(Rasulo) "No unique concept stands a chance against you! And no WDW fan, for that matter."
(Iger) "It's true, Rasu! But, I've got my sites set on that one (points to DC Comics)"
(Rasulo) "More comic fodder?"
(Iger) "That's the one! The lucky company I'm going to acquire!"
(Rasulo) "But it's..."
(Iger) "The most beautiful concepts around!"
(Rasulo) "I know..."
(Iger) "That makes DC the best! And don't I deserve the best?"
(Rasulo) "Of course, I mean...you do!"

(Iger) "Right from the moment when I be-came Chair-man,
I knew how to make Dis-ney run well.
I'd slash all maintenance, and build time-share units.
And standardize the merchandise we sell."

(Croften) "Look there, he goes, isn't he dreamy."
(MacPhee) "That Bob I-ger. Oh he's so cute!"
(Staggs) "Bestill, my heart. I'm hardly breathing."
(All 3) "He's such a strong and corp-orate minded brute!"

(Kalogridis) "Buy more!"
(Croften) "Quick pay!"
(Guest) "This guest is leaving!"
(Staggs) "Starbucks?"
(MacPhee) "Fastpass?"
(Guest) "Not in your life!"
(Kalogridis) "Restrooms?"
(Croften) "Phone Apps?"
(MacPhee) "A princess restaurant?"

(Guest) "There must be more than this pre-packaged grime!"
(Iger) "With these, we'll make you spend every last diiiiiime!"

(All Management) "Look there they go, that Guest is strange but special."
And with good credit, we can tell!
It's a pity they can't see, all the great things we're doing."
They really are some funny guests. Rich, but quite peculiar guests."

(Iger) "They'll spend it all before we reeeeeeeeeest!"

(All Management) "OH WEEEEELLLLLLL!"

(Myers) "Buy more!"
(Staggs) "Buy more!"
(Crofton) "Buy more!"
(Kalogridis) "Buy more!"
(MacPhee) "Buy more!"
(Iger) "Buy more!"

Wow. I can tell you spent a lot of time putting that together.
I applaud the effort. Some great alternative 'lyrics' there.

Fave part is the sad Monorial Pilot wanting some maintenance -

(Monorail Driver) "I need, up-keep."
(Kalogridis) "That's too expensive."

This song should be recorded and a video should be made.
( EDIT: I now see three other posters above have already also requested a music video! )



I have to slightly disagree with casting Jim MacPhee in a 'evil mangement' role though in this tune.
He is a very nice guy and is one of the few in WDW management that actually 'gets it' and tries to make some headway in a positive direction...at least, that was the case before his promotion and becoming overseer of the NextGen/MM+ project.
Perhaps he is now a changed man...?

@WDW1974 in an earlier post you mentioned a hotel near Disneyland that you recommended. What was the name again? Looking to make our first trip to Disneyland in February. Thanks.

Yeah, I only used him because I needed another "voice", and he is the "Vice President, Next Generation Experience and Walt Disney World Parks". Whatever that means. <grin>

The Annabella looks nice and it's within walking distance. Thanks
Click to expand...

The Annabella is pretty good, although you'll want to walk north on Disneyland Drive towards the Grand Californian to access Downtown Disney and the Esplanade for both theme park entrances. The Fairfield by Marriott on Harbor is also good, and a bit closer to the Esplanade than the Annabella. The adjacent Mimi's Café is a great option for breakfast or dinner pre or post Disneyland, at a fraction of the cost of a similar meal on Disneyland property. There's also a brand new Hotel Indigo on Katella, if you are in to stylish hipster boutique hotels as seen through a corporate eye. But that's a hotel option you won't find in Orlando, at least not yet. http://www.hotelindigo.com/hotels/u...srb_u=1&icdv=99504425&siclientid=1933&dp=true

Hotel Indigo Anaheim Maingate - Five minutes walk from Disneyland & DCA
hotel-indigo-vibrant.jpg


The Anaheim Resort District offers up a lot of hotel options, all within walking distance of Disneyland and DCA. It's a shorter walk from the Fairfield to Disneyland than it is from the Contemporary to Magic Kingdom, at about one fifth the nightly rate the Contemporary is charging.

And whatever you do, don't forget to hang out at the Disneyland Hotel's Trader Sam's cocktail lounge post-park, or the Grand Californian's Hearthstone Lounge or Napa Rose Lounge. Using the Grand's park gate, you can be having a cocktail and truffled mac n' cheese within 5 minutes of exiting Radiator Springs Racers or Soarin' Over California at those Grand Californian dining options. Using the Disneyland Monorail to the Downtown Disney station, you are 10 minutes away from Tomorrowland to Trader Sam's lanai.

And if you are heading to Disneyland in February, be prepared for plenty of rehabs and closures in both parks, including Fantasmic!. Unlike TDO, TDA doesn't worry about RUINING VACATIONS! with routine maintenance and upkeep, especially during the slower winter months.

probably to have a park in the most important and most populated zones..
China is now a comercial powerhouse, so was Tokyo and Hong Kong.

I wonder how long until they build one in Dubai or India.

The same reasons why there's a Disney presence in Hong Kong and Tokyo.


$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I'm curious as to what the prices for Shanghai will be. Park entrance, food offerings, hotel rates.... With their up and coming huge middle class, I wonder how Disney is going to bank on that.
