I've always wondered about that when I stroll around Future World or the World Showcase Lagoon. Would he be able to make things the way they should be?

Disney needs to re-discover why it holds a unique place in the entertainment industry. It's not just another Sony or Universal. It's Disney, and being Disney is about more than slapping the "Disney" logo and Mickey's face on something.<BR/><BR/>What is it about? That's what the executives need to discover.
