I miss those days... when that was the subject that generated the most heat.

There are Disney executives that I really don't like and could bash them here forever (like dear Queen Cyn for example), but I don't. You're making Al way more significant HERE than he needs to be. But his informations of late has been very, very, good. His batting average is a lot closer to .850 than .300. And as you yourself pointed out, the Wall Street Journal has a large story on the DCA extreme makeover. And Al had the story before they did ... or he wrote it before they did, which is really what counts. I'm very interested in seeing/hearing what gets announced tomorrow ... that's a heck of a lot more interesting than Al Lutz!

You've demonstrated repeatedly the depths of vitriol you're willing to spew given your hatred of the guy. And anyone with an objective eye knows who's been in hysterics here. It certainly has never been me. I don't love Lutz, but I have no affection for a bully. And you, Jon, are a dishonest bully with a grudge, cornered and reactionary. This whole thing reminds me of that feud between Rosie O'Donnell and Donald Trump. They both kept saying the other person is evil, the other person is wrong, bad, etc. There's an exception in this case, that Jon has been free to castigate and cast aspersions upon a guy who is not here to defend himself. But in that other situation, much as I can't stand Donald Trump, at least he was somewhat credible.

And which of the two sets of executives and Imagineers would be the first one on the bus to Abilene? <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abilene_paradox" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A bilene_paradox</a> And it must be said that anyone and everyone is not infallible to coming up with poor ideas and making bad decisionmaking. Walt Disney himself wasn't beyond creating a few clunkers, and so can John Lasseter, assuming he thinks a cheesy ride that formerly existed at Knott's Berry Farm would be worth re-creating at DCA.

However, we could all enjoy some super-sized Disney entertainment and offerings for a year or two before the company got chopped up and sold off under Al.
