Well I wasn't sure where to say this, but since my favorite thing Walt Disney ever did was to build DISNEYLAND, I figured I would say HAPPY 101st Birthday to Mr Disney here on the DISNEYLAND boards. How different this world would have been had you never been in it. Thank you.

Happy birthday, Walt!

Let's hope the sharp-pencil boys finally realize that old Walt knew what he was talking about... that quality sells.

You know, I do have to say this......While the quality is not as high as it used to be, it is still among the highest, if not the highest in the theme park industry.

Not good enough. Walt did not simply meet consumer expectations, he consistently exceeded them. This is what consumers are accustomed to from Disney... and are no longer getting on a consistent basis. They will gladly pay for the pleasure of pure escape.

Guests/audiences don't care about profit level growth and executive compensation/bonuses (which so often result in deliberately reduced experiences). they just want to be charmed and dazzled.

If the current accountaneers aren't up to the task (or can't understand the mission statement), why not replace them?

That would ne a nice birthday present for Walt.
