For too many years now I have witnessed the magic of Disneyland being whithered away by the non creative forces and MBA types forgetting about what makes Disneyland special.
When visiting the park as of late I find more and more things making me feel like I am in a expensive shopping mall with rides. The magic seems to be dissapearing around me, more and more vendor carts placed in my way and decisions being made without regard to the theme of the environment. We need to make sure that management does not destroy what makes Disneyland so special. I really hope that the MBA types learn that by keeping the magic in the park we will ensure a whole new generation of children who will end up bringing there children to the park over and over again which is in everyones best interest. If we destroy what makes the park special then we will alienate an entire generation of children.
Lets remember what Walt said:
"A word may be said in regard to the concept and conduct of Disneylands operational tone. Although various sections will have the fun and flavor of a carnival or amusement park, there will be none of the "pitches" game wheels, sharp practices and devices designed to milk the visitor's pocketbook"
-Walt Disney
"Disneyland is not just another amusement park. It's unique, and I want it kept that way. Besides, you don't work for a dollar- you work to create and have fun."
-Walt Disney
"Disneyland is a show"
-Walt Disney

- The quotable Walt Disney Disney Editions.
I sure hope someone remembers to follow the advice of the Park and the companies name sake. Walt knew what he was doing, let's not forget that. Let's get back on course here.
