Disney Parks all over the world still bear many personal marks of Walt Disney himself, and Tom Sawyer Island is perhaps one of the most personal: https://t.co/IR3ntcPB4X
@DisneyParks@Pixar@WaltDisneyWorld Do not destroy the Rivers of America. It can be shortened, enhanced, "plussed" as Walt would say. WDI did exactly that to Disneyland's and I'm sure proposed the same idea here. There is ample space at Walt Disney World for your ideas without subtracting from what you already have
Final thoughts: you make too many short sighted decisions to make a quick buck and seem to ignore/forget all of your history that made you the king of theme parks and resorts.
I have friends who haven't gone to WDW since they were kids and their memory of it is typically the same: "I remember that place was always immaculate. Perfect. It felt like a completely new world."
Start thinking about what that means more. Go back to your roots. Admit your mistakes. Be a little more relaxed about changing things up. Start listening to the guest when there is overwhelmingly negative feedback about something. And lastly put your money where your mouth is. You say the park pricing has gone too far? F*cking fix it then.
