I thought the number was 9? As in "9 experiences and a statistically happy guest = 7 rides + 1 show + 1 nighttime spectacular"? I didn't think they counted M&G's into this but maybe I am wrong?
I mean, it's not quite exactly the same thing, but NFL plans had major changes after they realized how too girl centric they were and didn't have enough rides.

Actually, didn't Walt Disney have a totally different plan for EPCOT?
I know you can't say much but have you heard anything about them changing the original plans to Tsl? It seems like such a missed opportunity, I would be fine if they wanted to keep it all toy story but it needs at least 1 to 2 more rides.

I stand corrected.
"Companies like Disney are always founded by creative entrepreneurs, but eventually the founder dies or gets pushed out, or moves on to something else. Inevitably the businesspeople take over--the managers--and they focus on preserving the vision that made the company great in the first place. They don't have any creative ideas themselves and they end up surrounding themselves instead with analysts and accountants to try to control the creative people and cut costs. In the process, they discourage change and new initiatives and reinvention. In time, the company begins to ossify and atrophy and die. It's important to have financial parameters and never to bet the house... but in a creative business you also have to be willing to take chances and even to fail sometimes, because otherwise nothing innovative is ever going to happen. If your'e only comfortable running a business by the numbers, I can understand that. But then you shouldn't get involved with a creatively driven company like Disney."
