Once again, Disney has disappointed me. I really don't know what they are thinking over there to first allow mustaches and now beards and goatees. Walt, from day one, was against this. He said, "I don't want Disneyland to look like a carnival." I visit Disneyland at least once a month; Every time I see someone with a mustache it just doesn't fit. I'll take a guess at why Disney is more lenient on grooming standards, turnaround. I know Disney has had a much higher turnaround rate at their parks, especially Disneyland. Disney Cast Members used to take so much pride in their work and working there used to be such an upstanding job. I believe Disney doesn't treat their employees nearly as good as they used to.

Disney keeps looking externally and not internally. They are reactive and not proactive. Perhaps if Disney started taking care of and supporting their employees more (I'm using the word employees purposefully because that's how Disney see them, not as Cast Members anymore) there wouldn't be as much turnaround. Just like where most companies start to decline is the failure to understand that it's the "little people" that help make the difference when it comes to interacting with the customers. The outdoor vending, attractions, merchandise, food service, all the entry level jobs that have direct contact with it's customers. If Disney took pride in these roles from the top down then these people would take pride in themselves and their own jobs.

As Roy Disney said, "Disney keeps making things on-the-cheap" and I 100% agree with that. It takes money to make money. Disney, start spending money on attractions, appearances, detail, and Cast Members that helped bring you to the number one spot which made you special in the first place.

darn carnies...

Team SR

A co-worker linked this to me I found it interesting:

So we've had a think, and we've come up with a plan (of sorts) for the SXI meetup at Walt Disney World in December. We're looking at two afternoons of meetups which we've arranged around the WDWToday Reunion events, so people attending those can do so as well as attending our SSR meets. So here's the plan:

Saturday 10 December at 4pm - Magic Kingdom
Meeting at the Tomorrowland Terrace dining area (lower part of). (Google Map to meeting place)

Sunday 11 December at 1pm - Disney's Hollywood Studios
Meeting to the right of the Great Movie Ride. (Google Map to meeting place)

(For some reason, the map links don't default to the Satellite view. They might make more sense if you switch to that view!)

Both days, we'll be there until either we get fed up or the park closes - whichever comes first. Magic Kingdom closes at 10pm on the Saturday and Disney's Hollywood Studios closes at 11pm on the Sunday, so there's plenty of time to do whatever we decide to

As for what we're going to do when we're gathered, we'll decide that when we get there depending on what people fancy If you've any ideas, do let us know! Do also let us know if you're thinking of joining us, so we can get an idea of how many people to expect. We'll hang around at the meeting point for around 20 minutes from the times above before moving on, so don't worry if you're running a few minutes late!

Keep an eye on the Subsonic Radio twitter account (@subsonic_radio) during the weekend (and surrounding days), as we'll be tweeting from the meetups so you can follow along from home if you can't make it.

See you there!

UPDATE:

I have just enabled random tracks, for your listening pleasure. I figured it was better the nothing.
