Originally Posted By ssWEDguy I was at the Walt Disney Theater behind Exposition Hall at the MK yesterday. 10am Joe Rohde came to do a presentation on AK and Expedition Everest, to a full house of pre-registered CM's.

He actually didn't have much to say about the detail and mechanics behind the attraction itself. I am going to write up a longer report on his talk for later this week. ---------------------- In the meantime -- check this out. I have occasionally written an e-mail to a Disney notable or two. Quite often the mail is answered, though sometimes it takes quite a while. Sometimes there's no answer at all. (Everyone's WAY too busy here.) I wrote Joe Rohde a thank-you e-mail note on Tuesday morning for his talk. And I asked him a question on a point of clarification from his talk. Less than 5 minutes later there was an e-mail response from Joe Rohde in my InBox. Now when a response comes back that quick, it's usuall Outlook kicking back an "Out of the Office" notify. In this case it was an actual response from Joe -- within 5 minutes -- and the note even had an answer to my question! (I'm guessing BlackBerry) How cool is that?

The bodies that are there are doing what they can where they can, but they are so busy they usually don't have a lot of time for other things, like listening to feedback.
