Mon 7/21/2008 8:55a | I saw the presentation. I think you all will love the CG recreation that will be on the DVD that we were privileged to get to preview. It goes without saying that it's fabulous that the attraction is coming back better than ever.
Anyone remember the beautiful Eyvind Earle murals that used to be in the shop that is now a princess shop? I really miss those and hope that they will be incorporated into the handicap Sleeping Beauty Castle experience or otherwise put on view again. |

Mon 7/21/2008 2:18p | I do think it's pretty sad that Disneyland management has to go to WDI to find out if they had a Sleeping Beauty attraction. That's like me calling my mom from my kitchen and asking her if I have canned soup in my cupboard! I agree that all management should have mandatory culture training...there is no excuse that you don't know your own products... |

Or are MBA's too soulless to enjoy Disneyland? There has to be a couple out there! |

I don't know the current culture, but it was ridiculous with the Eisner/Pressler era. In Glendale, Imagineers themselves would boast how long it had been since last in D-Land.
Even closer to home, a lot of people in the TDA building would never dain to walk into the park. When I worked in DDS, there were alot of onsite meetings where we would wait for attendees who had lost their way to whatever location the meeting was at.
It really was a running joke, and a sad one at that. |

Well here's one! I have an MBA and a love of all things Disney. While I can't believe I'm the only one, I was the only one in my class with a Mickey Mouse briefcase. :-)
