Team Gloom - Does not believe the status quo is good enough anymore. They want attraction development and tangible new entertainment experiences.They want added attractions with few removals and barring that they want vastly superior additions when subtractions are made. This team wants attractions not meet and greets. Did I mention this team wants attractions? They have no problem pointing out short-comings.
Team Pixie Dust - This team thinks that while there may be room for improvement, everything is okay as it is. This team thinks if you can keep it clean and running even with diminishing or non-operational features, it's okay. This team is okay with attractions being removed and replaced with meet and greets. This team thinks meet and greets are attraction additions. This team doesn't like others pointing out short-comings of the thing they love.
Needless to say, both groups love WDW and the other Disney parks. They love it so much, they visit a fan website to participate in a forum. They will argue their point of view because the love Disney. Did I mention both groups love Disney?
A accurate division description.
I also see this as a accurate description of 'yesterday's Disney Coporate attitude' and 'today's Disney Corporate attitude' when it comes to the Theme Parks.
The first team describes the attitude of many of the people who used to be in Corporate positions of power within WD Productions/ TWDC who pushed for such things and fought battles for them to happen.
In several cases, because they did, they were sent away and are not longer around.
'The Disney of Yesterday' would fit into the first team.
The second team describes many of the people who are currently working for TWDC in Corporate positions of power and upper management in some key areas.
'The Disney of Today' is most certainly on the second team described above.
Do they both 'love Disney'..?
Sure.
'Yesterday's Disney' loved making amazing themed Guest experiences.
Yes, they liked to make money..but much of it was put right back into the Parks and it showed..as in brick n' mortar showed.
'Yesterday's Disney' was all about wowing people with quality, innovation, and top notch unique entertainment.
'Today's Disney' loves making a great quarter and having a rosey bottom line for Wall Street investors.
They love to make money ....but little of it is put back into the Parks, and if it is, does not show in a brick n' mortar sense.
'Today's Disney' is all about making maximine profit and minimum expense...and quality, innovation, and top notch unique entertainment somewhat suffer.
