One Man's Dream

[Mickey1122]

Hi. I read somewhere a couple of days ago that One Man's Dream would be closed some time. I would like someone to confirm or deny this. I am inclined to think that it was just a rumor, but I'd like to be sure. We have the video they show, but it is nice to look at the displays. Thank you!

anyone?

Well, 'some time' to Disney, could be tomorrow or semi-permanent. I would like to see it remain, and be updated periodically, as Walt's dream grows and matures. Without his dream, there would be no World.

I hope it stays as well. I just want to know whether this is true or just an incorrect rumor.

I was so impressed by the exhibit/attraction and had a chance to talk with a very informative CM. He said it was originally designed to be a temporary exhibit and he didn't know how long it would remain. I said I would hate to see it go. He told me to stop by guest services/relations (whichever it is called) on my way out and let them know how I felt.

I'm not sure how much pull guests actually have (if any) on management's decisions when deciding if an attraction should stay or go. It can't hurt to let them know when you have really enjoyed something and would like to visit it again in the future.

I always try to speak to a manager or supervisor when I receive great customer service (when dining, shopping, speaking to a customer service rep, etc.). They are greatful to hear positive comments about an employee. I hope my comments might help someone get a better score on their performance review, or a raise, or a promotion, or at least some kind of praise from their superiors. Sorry, got OT.

I do believe the CM, it probably was designed to be temporary. I agree w/ Dan, this could easily mean "semi-permanent". WDW, like any company, loves hearing positive feedback and wants to keep guest happy. Everyone appreciates a pat on the back for a job well done. If you want it to stay, be sure to let them know!

OT as well, but I do something similar myself. I keep a notebook with me and jot down names, times, etc. while on vacation. When I return home and get settled, I then draft a letter to Disney detailing who provided good customer service (and who didn't as well). This time, I have about eight names of people who really went above and beyond the call of duty whereas I only have the name of one person who turned out to be a tart. These letters can go in employee files and I know I've heard of some Cast Members winning cruises and such for good customer service.

I'll definitely mention One Man's Dream in my letter (just got back) as I think that should remain as well.

Interesting. For an attraction designed to be temporary, it has been around for a pretty long time.
I just hope that if another attraction in MGM goes, it's something bad like Sounds Dangerous or that overrated Narnia exhibit, and not something fun and informative, not to mention air conditioned, like One Man's Dream!

I read (in the UG I think) that One Man's Dream was initially intended to be there just for the 100th Birthday celebration in 2001 but due to its popularily it was extended indefinitely. I hope it stays. I loved the film and the exhibit. Also I think it's important for children to learn about the man behind the magic and how he beat the odds to achieve his goals. Inspiration like that is rare.

This is one attraction that I have VERY strong feelings about. I think it's a well-done attraction and it should be required viewing for anyone going to WDW. There are some people who have no appreciation for how extrordinary a man Walt Disney was. I think it's so sad that this attraction doesn't draw more guests who want to learn about "the history behind the Mouse".

ITA!!! This is a don't-miss for us every year. I'd be SO sad to see it close!!

We are going again this trip because I love it so much. It's so neat to see how the magic began. I am looking forward to seeing the film without Micheal Eisner this time. Maggie
