The last segment of this sit down is really important when it talks about Walt Disney's impact on Imagineering and the way guests saw his attractions. All too often you hear not just the top brass of the company, but also activists on social media, say that the park is never finished. That quote by Walt is misattributed all the time and they never finish the full quote. As Mr. Bruce infers, Walt isn't the lead Imagineer anymore so we have to trust that the Disney company will make the right decisions on when and how to replace old attractions. The problem is... they've been wrong so many times.. nearly all of the time.. how can we trust them? These parks are so ingrained in American culture that they are a part of our history, a part of our hearts. If the company wants to drop the pretenses and come out now to say they aren't making attractions for the guests anymore but for their own edifications, that is fine, but they need to say it. I am tired of seeing nostalgic throwback videos in every DIS stock shareholder meeting when they no longer care about those values and have thrust themselves fully into modernism.
