I'm sure Frank (if he were still with us) and Judson would be shocked at just what is considered acceptable and SOP procedure in 2006. But WDW has major exec 'problems' across the board. I don't know where I'd begin, but WDW VP of Ops Lee Cokerell, who supposedly 'gets it' if you read the drivel in his weekly 'Main Street Diary', would likely be a good place to start because if he believes just a quarter of what he writes the man must be addicted to pixie dust. <<And while fanboy sentiment might have changed on Jay, I think the issue focuses on getting people who "get it" located at Florida addresses.>> Jay's got problems of his own. Far away from sunny Central Florida.

Anything can change but I don't believe there is a desire to close that attraction permanently at present.
