If you were CEO of Disney...

what would you do?

what i would do if i were CEO of Disney is i would change the prices of everything: park tickets, hotel rooms, food, souvenirs, everything to make it all cheaper. i figure, cheaper prices means more people.

Re: If you were CEO of Disney...

If I were CEO I would want to spend the money and have the monorail stop and all 4 parks. Making people wait for crowded buses just doesn't seem Disney like.

Re: If you were CEO of Disney...

oh yes. extending the monorail to all four parks and even to the water parks. i would also have buses set up to go strictly to the hotels to make hotel hopping easier for people.

Re: If you were CEO of Disney...

well yeah, less people is great but at the same time, those high prices would be keeping people like us away from WDW. i wouldn't drop the price to a ridiculous amount. i'd maybe cut 15 dollars off the current price.

Re: If you were CEO of Disney...

If I were CEO I would give every member of mouse buzz a free trip to Disney World with passes, food, drink and free merchandise.

I wish!!

But really, i would update MGM-Studios with new rides and attractions, reopen and update the 'wonders of life' pavillion in Epcot.

Introduce a new parade into Epcot.

There are many things I would do. I have spent many hours thinking about it

Re: If you were CEO of Disney...

another thing i would do is i would make a new hotel and have it designed like a palace. the rooms would resemble the rooms of disney princesses.

Re: If you were CEO of Disney...

i would develop a "frequent flyer" plan. you get discounts and upgrades based on the frequency of your visits. i have thought about that for an extremely long time. i think that they do the majority of their business on repeat guests, and that deserves a reward. every time i make reservations or i'm at a resort they ask how many times you've been there. what's the point if you're not going to do anything constructive w/ that info?

and i love the monorail idea too, i love the monorails - have i mentioned this, too much, perhaps? maybe??!! lol

Re: If you were CEO of Disney...

Raise wages for Cast Members. :-) Especially for those unsung hero's in Quick Service Food and Beverage, Outdoor Foods and Custodial.

Also bring in a new version of the Indiana Jones ride to the Disney-MGM Studios, and try to time it with the opening of the new movie. (Well soon to be Disney-Hollywood Studios)

I would also try to focus on quality animation, with quality soundtracks. Perhaps doing everything possible to bring back some of the incredible song writers who struck gold in the 90's.

I think that exploring the possibility of Nemo on Broadway would be fun too.

Re: If you were CEO of Disney...

I agree with DayDreamer - extending the monorail would be # 1 for me.

I would also spend money refurbishing the "ambiance" and "theming" of some of the areas that are feeling a little run-down or inconsistent. (Mainly Epcot and some Magic Kingdom) Animal Kingdom has spoiled me in terms of theming, and ever since it opened it bugs me just a tiny little bit that it has perfect, consistent theming throughout, where the others don't to the same degree.

I know, it's weird.
