ORWEN: Us cauldron girls ran into some current Imagineers a few weeks ago who told us what THEY thought of some of the cheap tricks certain former management types--such as Paul Pressler--made them live with. They are so glad he's gone so that, hopefully, some good changes are in store for the future.

That would be ridiculous if that was what I said but I didn't. Why don't you read what was written. What I find utterly ridiculous, bordering on the crazy are blanket statements like this: "I would not change a thing...WDW is as near perfect as a Disney Resort can get!" You lose any and all credibility with me when you write such nonsense, whether it's your true opinion or not. I still think you're a troll. You add nothing to any discussion here except lavish praise to an outlandish degree on everything WDW-related. Leemac would seem like a WDW basher compared to you. WDW wasn't as perfect as your posts argue when it was built let alone now. But I guess I'm just feeding you because if you didn't get any responses, you'd likely not be here.

If you could indeed send the executive team back in time, why stop there? Why not send them back to late 50's early 60's DL, and learn from the master showman himself, Walt Disney?

Originally Posted By Labuda I'd get the monorail linking all the parks AND monorail stations at each resort that would then travel to one or two (maybe 3 or 4) hubs on the route that goes to all parks. Just small monorail transfer stations...
Originally Posted By trekkeruss I like the monorail idea, but I would also incorporate a PeopleMover scheme. With a monorail alone, I would fear the waits between trains would be too long.

IF and only IF they dedicated themselves to providing that kind of experience today.<< That says to me that since 1986 nothing has been added to the world that has true Disney quality and show. That is just plain nonsense. In fact if WDW had stayed the way it was in 1986 it would have gone out of business long ago IMO. Although 1986 was a good year with the 15th celerbration. But Epcot was already starting to die. <<I still think you're a troll. You add nothing to any discussion here except lavish praise to an outlandish degree on everything WDW-related.<< I am not a troll. I am a positive person and not a whiner or curmudgeon. LuvDatDisney you remind me of a person in a story a CM friend of mine tells. My friend works guest relations in the MK and tells about a woman who came in and complained that she found a spill on a sidewalk and reported it to a CM. Then she waited there and timed how long it took for someone to come and clean it up. She said it took 45 minutes and to her that was not acceptable. When I hear stories like this or read post here like that at first I laugh but then I am sad. To think that that woman or posters on these boards pay to get into the MK, which is the happiest place on earth, then instead of just having fun, choose to stand around and time custodial or take pics of full trash cans or make mental notes of how dirty the carpet was in a certain place just to post it here on these boards is just sad to me. I will keep posting my " lavish praise to an outlandish degree on everything WDW-related" because it counters your negative comments. I might even start to post my own pics, for every full trash can pictured I will picture 50 empty and clean ones and for every foot of dirty sidewalk pictured I will picture hundreds of square feet of clean sidewalk. Then again maybe I won't because when I am in the parks I have to much fun to even think of such things.

I don't know if that is true or not, but they see a slip in quality. They still have fun at Disney; they just don't want to see the quality that you enjoy slip away.
Originally Posted By vbdad55 That continues to be the point for the majority of posters who get a 'negative' stamp.... I still don't see from above how one gets to nothing quality has been added since 1986, from taking them back to see the quality at that time....kind of liberal license on interpretation there... the point is in 1986 we didn't have closed down WoL buildings, we still had a Main Street that had unique shops and experiences, not a plush mall--same stuff every store, we had 20K vs. a Pooh Playground....street performers were everywhere, live shows ran every day and were really quality. The POINT IS, so I am not interpretted liberally here also, the quality was more consistent ! The maintenance was more consistent ! There were not the peaks and valleys that sometimes exist today. Not sure why that is so hard to understand....those of us who continue to say this do not view the past thru rose colored glasses, or post items because we are crotchety old people etc...we do so because we would love to see that consistency again today, and maybe we will. I also disagree mightily that EPCOT was dying in 1986 -- it was 5 years old and still brand new to most visitors -- I know I don;t stand around looking for issues, nor do i take pictures of them..but they are there, you can;t ignore them. The best example from a TV show visiting there was the Roseann Show when they went to WDW and the big joke was her dropping wrappers etc on the ground and maintenance people literally leaping from behind bushes to get it before it hit the ground. And in the last 80's and early 90's - all jokes aside it sure seemed that way....that is not the case today. If that is what one calls an improvement then I must not understand definitions. Nobody is saying the place is horrid, if we thought that we'd all stoop going, but we have seen it in better times. Look at DL - it was a mess 7-8 years ago, literally with building and attractions coming apart...look at the improvement there today...is it so wrong to ask for the same TLC for the MK in WDW ? I for one don't think so

Just an arbitrary year from what I believe was the Golden Age of WDW (1984-1994) when they were growing, but still following Walt's ideals.
