(Oh, I forgot, it's not you...you're simply fluent in NewSpeak. Double Plus Bad on my part comrade) By the way, if they were really "creative" leadership, would they really be putting people in a box? Anyway, this is just getting creepy. <--X steps away from topic, slowly and carefully

Not to mention why so very many Disney projects these days suck as well. Take that particular paragraph (I'm more than certain it's a typical sort of paragraph within the company) and ask yourself a very simple question. What would Walt Disney say, if he read such a paragraph?

I've had discussions about those exact designs elsewhere - they look like a first year student in autocad was trying to mimic the original sketch but didn't know how to use the drawing tools properly. They didn't even get the silhouette right! The proportions are off and the details are nil. That's bad design - now we have ugly lighthouses. People do not deserve WDI salary for cranking out that sort of crap. <<<< You kidding? This is your opinion. Just because you hate everything doesn't make it true. Hating something more than everyone else doesn't show you care about quality....it shows that you are pulling at straws. WoC will be fine.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros >>***being put in a box by his creative leadership*** Good God man, stop with the Orwellian nonsense will you!?<< That's actually a fairly accurate description. When you have to deal with a very tight budget, it becomes significantly more difficult to build anything that's even remotely 'beautiful'. If you want a stucco covered box, you can do that. Maybe even add in a sloped or two, but anything past that will start adding up really fast. I don't know what you know of building codes, but trying to create a building that fits within the modern codes (ADA is especially bad) that also works with the very small footprint that they have in Anaheim, and has the right sightlines and then on top of that is themed to look pretty is fairly tough to do. As we've seen with the Games of the Boardwalk makeover, most of the bare structures in DCA are pretty good for functionality. They just need to dress up the facades a little bit and we will have the Disney quality that we're used to. There are some other areas that function just fine, but will need some major work to bring them up to standards to make them look nice (Screamin queue). But to say that the restraints placed on designers is over the top isn't really true. With the various codes they have to meet and the people they have to make happy, there often aren't any good options, so they're forced to take the lesser of the evils.

Alot of people over on Micechat have been saying the same thing. As you said though, WoC will be fine but still they need to step up there game when it comes to the little details like they used to.

The only reason I got multiple names on wdwmagic is because that site is mostly republicans who don't want people badmouthing anything against bush,corporate america, or ESPECIALLY disney. Naturally, this irritates me and I tend to lash out by getting "in your face" with some of the members there which results in my banning. Although it should be noted there are actually people there that are much ruder than I am that haven't been banned.

They are important to some of us..before we enlist.
