QuikQuote: Eisner, he argues, has not invested in theme parks as he should, and the board of directors was ineffective.
"The upkeep down in Disneyland is sickening," he said, adding that the company under Eisner had built "half a park" but charged full-park prices at California Adventure, the theme park opened next to Disneyland in Southern California.

Let's add Marty Sklar's comments about DCA... from Jim Hill's article from Thursday...

And even formerly loyal lieutenants like Marty Sklar, Vice Chairman and Principal Creative Executive of Walt Disney Imagineering, have begun openly carping about how terrible it is to work at the Walt Disney Company during the waning days of the Michael Eisner era.

Want proof? Take a gander at this Marty quote that an unnamed someone sent from an IAAPA seminar Sklar spoke at last month. When asked about what his thoughts were about Disney's California Adventure. Marty replied:

"I think that you're nuts to build a park next to Disneyland that's half the size and charge the same amount of money."
