Nice trip down the memory lane...it is weird seeing the threads without the posts from $@#%. Makes it hard to follow after he carpet bombed his account! (But I have to admit, I have gotten to know $@#% a little better outside the realm of The Dis and have had some great conversations with him...

I had to double check the date and realize I wasn't reading a revised post from 1998. This poster must have Outlook reminding him every three to five years or so by my rough calculation.

OWTS: Can't just look at the last two years when you talk about success against the S&P. DIS is just about 2/3 of the way to its previous highs. Look at a price scan over the last ten years, you will see that it is only just now catching up to the tremendous losses spurred when the DIS...

Mr. Bicker: Could we extend this argument by saying "one sound option would be to close the Value resorts, since you'll have fewer customers (since fewer customers would therefore be able to afford the costs of the Moderate or Deluxe resorts)"? Can this be analogized to Cingular's decision...

Holy Avoid The Subject Batman!

re R'n'R at MGM. Easy. The park was supposed to be a celebration of the entertainment industry. First, it would show you the Hollywood that never was and always will be...which includes music, television, and yes the movies. All of these are created each and every day in and around L.A...

Give me back my barker bird! Now!

M. Bicker: Which parts are 'unbounded', 'unfounded', 'illogical', and 'simply voice(s) of frustration'? I am genuinely interested in hearing your opinion, examples you may have where Walt's philosophy would not have worked as well as Ei$ner's. The oft-quoted remarks cited by DB are an...

M. Bicker: What does 'plussing' mean? Is it spending funds and making any kind of changes? Please do not 'misunderestimate' me, I'm not being argumentative. I think it is important to understand each person's definition of one of Walt's favorite terms. Knowing what Walt meant by that term...

There is a third option: Imagine the Walt Disney World Resort without all of the problems: Four parks in clusters connected by innovative transportation. A thriving city in the middle within walking distance to transportation hubs. EPCOT Center built, but constantly 'plussed.' A...

M. TSR6, when did the horse die? There are some on this very board who still believe: Disney should be out of the 2D market Disney's recent strategy of DTV sequels has been good for the company Ideas like issuing new Pooh episodes with a female character instead of Pooh make good...

What a boneheaded move! How can Lasseter and Catmull sacrifice short term profits for long term value? Don't they know how much money can be made by making these sequels? They are much less expensive to make and have built in brand loyalty. I don't who the heck these guys are, but they...

It's a moving target. We can criticize Ei$ner, and we're wrong, right up to the day he's booted out. We can criticize Strategic Planning, and we're wrong, right up to the day they are dismantled. We can call for Paul Pre$$ler's head, and we're idiots that make picayune remarks about...

This is a true statement.

You aren't by any chance a new poster to this board? Has the search function been disabled again? The answers to this and many more questions you have are found in a treasure trove of archived posts...

The assumption may be faulty, and is the real reason we've been debating the topic. The promotional stills make it appear as if she will replace Robin. That brings up another philosophical issue. If the Hundred Acres Wood is based upon one child's imagination, by definition when you bring in...

You're good. You're reeeeeally good.

First off, what happened to my original post? (edit: never mind, it scrolled off to the previous page.) Second, do I need to search the boards and newsmagazines like Amusement Business for proof that the the average length of stay has not appreciably climbed since the opening of DAK, and the...

An interesting choice of words....

"However the park is not loosing money, nor is there massive problems they are trying to fix. They are simply making a good park better. " What is your authority for this statement?
