The 'Disney' brand used to mean something. It's a shame to see what it has turned into. I really miss Walt.

I didn't see it but my wife was telling me Roy Disney was on the O'Rielly Factor complaining about the same thing. He said Michael Eisner has lost the quality that Disney has always stood for especially in their parks.

My wife and I have noticed this over the years. It use to be you could go into any Disney park and it was prestine. Disney always had a policy that maintenance on their parks would be done after hours and any refurbish work would be transparent to "guests".

Not any longer. We've experience rides breaking down, "wet paint" signs dotting the landscape, and workmen roaming around. Several years ago we walked into Epcot and I think all but one attraction was opened. The rests were either closed or broken. Fortunately we had a hopper ticket and left the park after 1/2 hour and headed over to another.

I don't want to sound like I'm slamming Disney because they still operate some of the best parks IMHO. But that won't be for very much longer. Roy is right. They need to put their focus back on the quality of the job.
