It would be simpler to just ignore the rest of the DIS. Too much Pixie dust can kill.

see I like going on the Restaurant and Resorts and see what everyone says about those issues.

I can't believe I'm defending you yahoos.

That's "yohos".

Hey now, don't insult everyone. I'm my own unique type of dip.

doesn't the deck seem stacked against creativity and quality in favor of mass production and marketing???

Absolutely.

I don't believe the Disney of today is creating a new generation that has that same emotional attachment as those of us who remember the magic as it was developed in the past.

Agreed.

One thing I've noticed recently, by reading these boards and visiting the parks recently is that people tend to think that every popular Disney character/movie/etc, should be in the parks....so we get a Cars parade, Jack Sparrow in the POTC ride and now, High School Musical, smack dab in the middle of.....tomorrowland????

So should Disney jump on every chance to put the character of the moment into a ride/show/parade? I dont think so.

I'm not completely sure. When we visited WDW last February, my kids (ages 5 to 13) were thrilled to see Chicken Little and other more modern characters but they could really care less about Cinderella, Snow White, or Peter Pan.

Why are you punishing your children by letting them be aware of Chicken Little's existence. I'm pretty sure that's a punishable offense......Kidding.

Anyway, Disney's always had characters in the parks from modern movies. That's perfectly fine. Putting them in attractions instead of doing non-cross promotion attractions is the problem. Disney's best attractions previous to Eisner have little to do with current movie or TV characters.

I believe that most of the non-Pixar animation released by Disney has been bad. But I must say I liked Chicken Little. I thought they did a nice job with that movie.

I generally agree that they shouldn't put the character of the moment in an attraction. I think they need to ensure the character's long term viability. It seems Nemo will be around a long time so its OK to place them in the Seas.
