That's Di$ney? I hate Di$ney. Luckily, however, there's Disney!

How Disney thinks:
Mr. Iger:Magic Magic Magic!
Secretary: Mr. Iger, you have a call. It's a child who want's to speak with you about Disney's future.
Mr. Iger: :Let me talk to him.
Secretary: Okay, hold on.
Kid: Mr. Iger, I hate the company because nothing is happening the way I like it. I mean, if I want chicken tenders instead of chicken nuggets, I should get it.
Mr. Iger: Disney makes our decisions for the best of the company and the world. Not just because a few kids can't get their way and blame it on "Disney's only in it for the money" thing. We make our decisions in the interest of a bigger audience than just you. Other people like the decisions we make very much. And if you don't like one or two these decisions, we have many other things that you might like instead.
Kid: I still think that the decisions should be made in my interest.
Mr. Iger: No, it should be made in the world's interest.
Kid: Me!
Mr. Iger: The world!
Kid: Me!
Mr. Iger: The world!
Kid: Fine, I'll just say Di$ney's only in it for the money on VMKF.
(no offense to anyone, but this is how it looks to me)

My dad feels your pain he loved them, he bought their cd and everything. But I avoided them like the plauge.(sorry they weren't really my thing)
True true. So very true.

Is Disney supposed to say, that's it! Get over it! or should they give them what they want? I don't think Disney is into everything just for the money, it's just business. What's the purpose of Imagineers if they can't change the old things? If you wanted everything in the parks to be the same, you mine as well fire all the Imagineers. You can't keep the park preserved from when it first opened. Plus, it's good to have new things in the park.
First off, I am sorry about your arbys, its unfortuante lol. Although, I am not a younger kid, I am a kid who looks forward to disney, but certain things more than others and that being one of them. You support my theory that disney is becoming "childrenized". However you make good points in imaginnering, although I dont think imagineers created four for a dollar.

Now why would Iger's secretary allow a kid to talk to him? He is much much too busy to take a child's call. However if you replaced the kid with the adult it would make sense. Oh and dont tell me you like chicken nuggets better than tenders!!!

BuzzBoy explained that the tenders wouldn't cook all the way through, so for health concerns, Disney changed it to nuggets. Hope I got that right buzzboy.

Well that makes some sense. I dont really enjoy food poisoning from undercooked food, however they honestly believe a deep fried chicken nugget made from non-real meat is fixing a health concern for undercooked meat?

I agree with you that tenders are better than nuggets, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

As for my Arby's, I was sad too. It makes me want to sing American Fry:
"The day, the fry had died.
Bye, bye, miss american fry.
Brought my Darby to the Arby's
but the service was slow.
And good old boys were
drinking coke and a Sprite saying,
'This just doesn't seem right'
'This just doesn't seem right'"

Err, Sorry for breaking out in song like that, but I just really miss those fries!

You do know the Disney is currently run by the 8th dwarf, Greedy.

Also I love the fact Arby's has Curly Fries. It's more original and I prefer them to french fries. Just my opinion. I also should probably mention I only go to Arby's once or twice a year tops.

I actually saw their CD's in a store at Disney Hollywood Studios. It was a store with a bunch of ESPN and golf stuff.

Its ok, sometimes we all just need to share our feelings on curly vs origional! While I do like origional I occasionally get curly...

I agree, the curly fries are super delicious, and are fun to play with like a barrel of monkeys

Right now their Cd's are on sale in most stores with soundtracks throughout disney. It depends on what disney wants to do when September 20 comes around and the group is gone. Disney just might keep their merchandise since they do get a cut of it...

I find it funny that the first how many years they had chicken nuggets they weren't undercoocked(I would know that's all my brother would get at disney), yet recently "they were undercooked". So all those other years they gave billions of people food poisoning. I'm confused and lost, it reminds me of the reason they closed vmk because,"it was just a promotion." I went back to WDW sometime early this month and had their chicken nuggets, they were better than most chicken nuggets,but my brother and I both agreed the chicken tenders were better and more filling. Yes you are correct they look like mini chicken tenders.

I agree, I had the chicken nuggets many times in June and they were delicous. I don't see what everyone is complaining about.

That was kind of rude.. I didn't insult YOU or anyone individual in my post. I was just kidding anyway.. even though it is the way Di$ney thinks.
I really don't care that much about the chicken thing. I just think that Di$ney should understand that some people do feel strongly about it. It's also not just me who is not in support of Di$ney.
Why would Iger talk to a kid? He didn't even READ my e-mail.
Please don't be rude.

It's too bad about the opening show thing. What changes come next?

They were owned by a children's store company called Hoop Retail. However, recently Hoop Retail was thinking of selling the stores back to Disney ( or so I've been told). And canceling the opening act doesn't ruin the whole Beauty and the Beast show. I think it all depends on your opinion, but I think these changes are necessary. You have to make changes once and a while, or else you'll never progress forward, you'll just be stuck in the past.
Keep Moving Forward. That's what disney is about these days.
