Can you imagine a full orchestra performing for a stage show in a theme park now? At 95 bucks per ticket? What do they do with all that money nowadays, I wonder? How many thousands of white collar people are working back in Disney's offices and sitting in conference rooms puffing up their latest PowerPoint show and pulling in a nice salary, instead of hiring live musicians to perform for paying customers out in the parks?
