I just remember the old days ... you know the 80s and 90s ;-) ... back when if one generation was retiring they'd pass on their skills/knowledge/training to another generation ... kind of like what happened at WDI. But it did stop there too ... oh well, I guess when the AAs resemble manaquins Disney will do something ... like shut the power off!
