    The researchers lead Disney to give us what Bubba wants. But WDI gives us things that never existed until they created it and Bubba never knew he wanted. I hold Bubba resposible for AIE. As well as it is done, it is something I knew existed, but didn't want to start with.

    Oh come on now, how else would they have found out that a common guest gripe with buffets is that the prime rib was taking up too much room on the plate, and that something should be done about it?

    I sure wish they would. The last ECV I had would only go 6 mph, didn't have a bumper or a really loud horn.!

    Tell me about it ... my grandfather's last car was a Buick that he drove until he was 90.

    What amazes me about GM's ineptness is the fact they are getting rid of Saturn, which I believe is their best product line.

    ~Let's give GM some more billions!~

    They are indeed.

    And while I feel bad for anyone who loses their job these days, I can't fault Disney for basically reducing this department to a bare bones approach.

    It had no business being what it was.

    It was part and parcel of the rise of consultants and MBAs with The Mouse.

    If Disney truly doesn't know why people visit its parks and resorts and what they expect, then they can hire some of us to tell them.

    ~Can I ask you a few questions?~
