When you hired in, the Disney family was involved in the company. Walt could have been alive then. It is a different company today. Your input would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure at what point you have the authority to "fix" things that are woefully broken. In short, I don't see how one good-intentioned person can change the culture of complacency that seems to be so rampant around WDW today. And that's not to fully blame the employees: I'm sure there are managers at DAK who would like to see the Yeti work, for instance, but it's not getting fixed. So at some point, you have to face the reality of this corporate structure, the bureaucracy that prevents change from occurring.

At Disney for instance I used to be able to see something that needed a paint touch up. I would put in a request and in a couple of days a painter would show up and do the work. Now the request goes thru so many people in the process that it takes forever to get things done. It's the same at my current company. Lots of people in lots of positions with no one really having any final say in getting something done. It's maddening.
