If Disney is broken up then WDW will become a big fat licensing deal.
And that would be different than what we now have HOW?
The hotels would be run by a series of different companies as would the restaurants.
Now, this one may very well fall the other way. It may be that the WDW PROPERTY stays together. Now the DVC is almost sure to go by the wayside, but!! A SMALL PRICE TO PAY!!!
even if you think it is at low tide, it is still together in one piece.
I mean this in all sincerity Scoop. And I must stress, Im not being flip.
BIG DEAL!!!
Next:
I'd much rather Disney slowly die in one piece than simply exist in different pieces of mediocrity scattered throughout the corporate landscape.
NO, no, no!!!! No slow death!!! Either kill it or let it thrive!!! And I really dont care about the corporate landscape!! I really only care about WDW!!! I thought you and I were on the same page with this issue. You know, mainly WDW.
And, let's forget whether Disney is or is not still service oriented.
NO!!!! That was the main thrust of your post. You remember, don't you?! That no other company could possibly take over Disney BECAUSE there were no service oriented companies out there!!
Again I say that argument doesnt make sense as Disney is
NOT that sort of company either!!! And now you want to forget it!!! Sorry Scoop, but that deserves a Whatever response if anything ever did!!
My question was whether there really is another company which would put the customer first. I just can't think of one.
Try to think of one before Disney. Maybe its time to try again. It seemed to work the first time!!!
Nobody or no company is out there which will run Disney like Walt ran Disney. That animal just doesn't exist
GEE!!! That is exactly what people said BEFORE
Disneyland!! And you know what? THEY WERE WRONG!!!!!
Go back to the day he died. Then move forward from there.
OK. I will. But only if you go back to the day he died and move
backwards from there. What do
you see? Anybody like Walt out there? No. I didnt think so!!!!! SO what does you sentence really mean? That Walt was a one of a kind. That only someone like Walt could have started a Disneyland. Only a guy like Walt could have envisioned and built a place like EPCOT. GREAT!!! We agree.
But it doesnt take a Walt to maintain. It doesnt take a Walt to run WDW as it should be run. It just takes someone who GETS IT. Someone who buys into the philosophy that we all seem to know inherently!! I always say that any of us, even you scoop (although Im starting to doubt it
) could do a better job than Ei$ner. We all (I think) GET IT. He hasnt got a clue.
And the new company or even a division head may not get it either. In that case Ill be back here, writing four page posts and using too many exclamation points!!!! (I just hope he has an S in his name). But we may get lucky!! We may get someone like AV!!! Or that seafaring Pirate!!! Or that hot rod to hell YoHo!! Just someone who used to go to the park and knows what it can be like. Thats all. No financial whiz. No Wall Street baron (pardon the pun). Just someone who grew up vacationing in Disney and LOVED it!!!! IS THAT REALLY ASKING TOO MUCH!!!!!????
Walt is dead. And so is his Disney.
Yes he is!! And Ei$ner made sure he
KILLED (murdered, slaughtered, raped and pillaged) his Disney.
But Jeff K., and others, are alive!! And where theres life, theres hope!!!
