Maybe the park and hotels are in this rather miserable condition because nobody attempts to do it better. In Orlando, Disney is surrounded my small, but potent competitors that are setting standards themselves.Willnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843951187592993602.post-57166007853093319792011-10-14T17:03:54.995-07:002011-10-14T17:03:54.995-07:00Nope, don´t think so.

When people demand more, that´s a good thing, too. Why did the Japanese get TDS? Because Disney was convinced they *demanded* that level of detail, Disney knew they would never get away with sth like DSP or DCA in Japan.

It's been said many times that Disney should have chosen Spain rather than France. It's true that the Paris resort would've performed better if the number or the size of the hotels had been reduced, but Spain would have been a lot better, even with the 6 huge hotels.
