In front of the Living Seas may work too, since it is the skinniest part and SSE itself blocks most of it.

I find it's the most creative people out there (look at Disney's recent animation and WDI mass casualties) who are among the first to go or find their roles diminished in this horrific bottom-line (even when it really isn't) business environment we have today. You know the one where everyone wants the cheapest garbage for the lowest price with the worst customer service (WalMart anyone? How about SW Airlines? Hey, wanna buy a GM car?) Creative people see the big picture. Heck, they see lots of different pictures and possibilities. Most management, including WDW's today, only sees the next six months revenue and profit statements. And, FWIW, I doubt there are many here who truly love WDW as much as TDLFAN and I don't even know the man. I think, like me, he just doesn't like the direction the company has taken it and the apologists who would buy a piece of cow turd shaped like Mickey for $29.99nand say it's magical.

It'd be even BETTER if they issued them all riding crops!

And complaints with facts behind them that are ignored is what has driven our two major auto makeers in the US to believe they were still the best companies making the best products for 20 years longer than they were....now they are looking for government assistance as those within that complained about quality, no innovation, lack of creativeness were ignored. \ Leaving those who complain completely out of the idea circle is a sure sign of lazy management.
