What Things Today Would Walt Disney Have Never Done or Be Out RAGED ABOUT.

Blink, blink. Breathe, breathe. Day in, day out.
Well... He definitely didn't plan on making Disney World just a theme park place... So I'd imagine that he'd be both disappointed by the outcome of Epcot onwards... But maybe also a little happy that other people TRIED to both continue his name and create something almost similar to his original vision... Even if it IS slowly starting to die.

Is that open drinking in the Park like Epcot and DHS?

Since EPCOT was supposed to include restaurants, bars, and other similar places, then yes, that would be tolerated. Remember that when DL first opened, people would dress up to go. Men in suits. Women in dresses. Now we see idiots in sweat pants. :banghead: The people that go to EPCOT to get drunk (which, while I'm sure it happens, I have not personally seen it), would never have gone to DL back in the 50's and early 60's. DHS wouldn't even exist, so who's to say.

Oh i really hope that the company is going to remember Walt's visions and principles. I love Disney and Inlove what they are doing, but their goals and the way they are doing it is not working for me. I dont think Walt would have ever closed rides that kept the spirit of a park going also he would never change a theme of a park and continue his dreams I think. I dont like the fact that Disney easily closes something but opening something is difficult.

Hmm, I never thought - wow - when I entered the lobby. I thought - where the heck is everything, since I can see nothing else, and, where do I tell someone to meet me here in the lobby? I just always thought is was too big for the area. Now saying that, could they have made the new one larger? Yes, and they probably should have, since I agree that it is a bit small, but over-all, I like the look of the new lobby compared to the old one.

I look at a hotel lobby and I wonder....
"who trained this idiot and why do they look like they have no idea what the hell they're doing when they check me in?"

I think that he would've never cut off all his limbs and had them replaced with advanced robotics since self mutilation never comes up in any of the biographies I've read. I think he would be outraged about the secret compound on the outskirts of Pop where all the child labor is housed since, like everything else, Disney pays way too much for these kids. I always say, if you're going to force children into indentured servitude you need to do it right. I see no reason to mess around with a couple of bucks and an ice cream cone each day.

Oh, oh... I don't see a sarcasm icon (whatever that is). So, what... are you on drugs? To my knowledge the only place were children where forced into indentured servitude was when they shellaced a group of them and stuck them in Small World.

Yes the painting needs and maintenace I feel would have never been tolerated. I see things now that I would never have seen even 10 years ago. Faded and chipped paint how it stands out now. I remember seeing painting happening on the spot in the past. I remember commenting to my wife one night when they had a section of concrete blocks roped off and seeing it being painted on the spot. Now you have to wait for a scheduled shut down for them to catch up with basic repairs.

I saw them repainting the fake pine log fences in Frontierland just two years ago. Right in the middle of the day. It was detailed work involving painting in the lines and cracks that nature wood would have had. I thought that was pretty impressive and absolutely contrary to all the "no maintenance" garbage that we are always reading about. One important factor that people need to think about is this. Those buildings have been sitting outside in the extreme Florida weather for the past 40 plus years. If indeed maintenance had been neglected for very long, they would be a pile of boards lying on the ground. Total bogus argument in my mind.

How many of those chips of paint might have happened just before you got there by those double wide strollers. If, what everyone says is true that people intentionally ram people with them, what would make them worry about hitting a wooden object.

I agree, I bet he would have never approved the POLY lobby refurb the way they did it.

Who's to say he would have approved the way they initially did it? I know the guy who designed and installed the water features. Walt was never even a part of the process - he was dead before it started.

I do know that Walt did not approve of typing things in all caps.

He'd say "why are there 2 mermaid attractions, and why is the first one (from the early 90's) better? And why isn't this new one called 'Lost in Home Depot with Ariel and friends?'"
