I agree with you, I do think many of the hotels (and amazing admin buildings) are one of the greatest legacies of the modern Disney age (shame ops ruin them to where we no longer feel the need to bother). I will miss him greatly, and I wonder what Disney will be doing next to meet the business planning or architectural needs? I wish him all the very best in retirement, but I hope this is not the last we hear of the great man.
