    I think it should be pronounced "Brilliant" as he has done an outstanding job at WDW. He will be missed at WDW and in central Florida.

    Thanks danyoung. I find most Disney forums are filled with disgruntle ex CMs and they blame everything on the person at the top. LP has fewer of them but still has some. I seen some post that call Mr. Weiss a hack but do you think that someone who did not know what they were doing could work there way up to President of WDW. Then keep that job for 12+ years then get promoted. I think not... the man is Brilliant.

    In that note, I call him an incompetent idiot, who has allowed the MK to become the worst DL park there is.

    I've called the man many things ... and have heard others do likewise. But even people I know who like him personally have never called him brilliant.

    I do think he's been close to brilliant at destroying all the high standards for quality, maintenance and guest/cast satisfaction that WDW used have, though.

    When I read in the Orlando Sentinel that Al was picked for worldwide Disney theme parks CEO, I was not happy.

    Let's hope he does not "muck it up".
