And while WDW doesn't see change on behalf of it's fans, DL does.

Besides, who said anything about "saving Disney"? We come here to discuss, to have a good time, and we have lives. Why must you constantly assert that this whole process and discourse is negative when, you too, partake in it? Unless you are just trying to stir the pot?

We are offering opinions on a issue we like to talk about- Disney. Don't give me the excuse that that's a form of preaching...theres a very large (and obnoxious) difference between telling people what you think and telling people what TO think, and how they should be thinking. Free speech, sure, but there's also a level of politeness needed, and "preaching" about people isn't within those levels, IMHO.

Which is apparent that is what you are doing.

Tom Morris is on CarsLand - he wasn't involved in the current expansion plans.

They use those bias guest surveys for that. Any guest feedback on a new ride is done through blind bias surveys set up by management. << If they don't read the web sites why did they end up scrambling to have a celebration for Epcot's 25th? How about the feed back they acknowledged receiving via the forums, over the LOW. You better believe they read the Disney forums, constantly.
