tim5055 120 Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Sorry to say, most organizations have too many bosses to begin with. I guess it will be too much to ask that savings be put into guest experience..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 From the article....."In addition, Disney laid off two veteran executives from its information-technology group: Laura Hall and Allen Fazio, both vice presidents who had worked more than 20 years for the company.". Hmm, are there cracks in the healthcare.gov MyMagic+ system? :rofl3: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lou... 3,118 Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Don't most companies make upper management changes from time to time? I guess this is news worthy because it's Disney.I also don't see a connection to MyMagic+. How well or badly the FP+ portion is going, is not an indicator of how well, or badly, the overall program is progressing. There are seven facets to MyMagic+, FP+ being only one of them. As far as I know, the other six parts are going well. Fazio was a VP of IT at Disneyland, so probably minimal connection to MyMagic+.Hall worked out of the Disney office complex in Celebration, so may have been connected to it.I wonder if there's another house up for sale in Celebration?

Retired and Happy (Ken) 101 Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 If there is a house for sale there, don't tell Judy. Well this may be ok. She wants to live on Main Street. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don't you know that drawing conclusions where none exist, creating conspiracies out of nothing, and lying to push an agenda are how it's done these days? Have you never watched cable news?? Or a D.C. press conference? C'mon Lou. Help a guy out now and then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 I think this is all related to the secret box at the dam. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 I think this is all related to the secret box at the dam. And the blue tanks in RC. It all points back to the Iranian nuclear experiments at the Fort. I bet these IT folks released were involved in that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Momof6....aka Marty 769 Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 More likely, they were about to stumble on information that would lead them to our devious conclusions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 What happened to the train? Yes....what happened to the train? ?? I assume Jen is referring to the FWRR....not the MK RR. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southernview -- Ray 25 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 I assume Jen is referring to the FWRR....not the MK RR. Probably so--the reason I was asking was that, when I was there earlier in the month, they had the MK train shut down for some refurbishing. I saw them running some test runs on it toward the last of my stay, but I never could determine what all they were doing to it. I did notice some new insulated joints in the rails, at a couple of points that I could see, which would indicate that they might have been updating the signal system or something of the like. Does anyone know exactly what they were doing. If you haven't guessed, I'm a railfan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Whenever Disney issues a refurbishment Advisory, it's usually not very specific.They did file for permits to work on the railroads infrastructure.The shut down was only about 3 weeks long, so I doubt that it was anything other than routine maintenance, and sprucing up.
