Some here have said it before and I will echo their words-based on their management style and understanding of Disney mangement, perhaps the OLC should be running the WDC!

I hope Disney's management is paying attention to the low visitor numbers DCA is getting. Let's all hope Tokyo DisneySea will be enourmously popular, so that the WDC sees how Disney parks are supposed to be.

It is my hope that what Mousebear said will happen. As stockholders become disenchanted with the management blunders of the Emperor and his Evil Apprentice, hopefully they will form an angry mob, storm the castle and with cries of "KILL THE BEASTS!!!", throw the devillish duo from the higest point of Grizzly Peak!!!!!!! ; )

Walt's vision, and that vision's potential to make LOTS of money, is too powerful a force to be denied forever." I agree with your well stated positive outlook for the long term future of Disney's American parks. I feel that what Walt started is more powerful than dollars and cents, yet it has the ability to bring in huge sums of money. I guess that's one thing that draws me to it. I believe it'll weather this period of short-sighted, uninspired greed. But yes, there needs to be a leader at the helm. Marc
