I was just wondering, do you guys think any big names come onto this board and actually read what we have too say? For example like Tony Baxter?

I would imagine a handful might every once in a while. But at the same time, it can't be healthy. If you are a head basketball coach, you shouldn't read the section in the newspaper about your team. Don't let others dictate what you do. Do whats best in your mind.
Yes.
Big Mickey is watching you ;)
But seriously, some do, just out of curiosity. Whether or not some are assigned to is a matter of debate.
Just out of curiousity, I'm sure some do. And some of the artists have come on Mice Chat, letting us know about some of their upcoming work!
I'm here right? ;)
I would think they do. That's how you get honest feedback about certain things regarding Disney. And maybe to rip off our ideas.....:ceek:
Not that I have anything creative to steal.
Disney reads this board, and probably every other fan board, every day. Multiple times in fact. I know for a fact the research staff from the Archives uses this board as a reference in their work. All you have to do is post a picture of something that makes them fall out of their chair, and they will find you...

Absolutely. We met so many important Disney folks at the D23 Expo who told us that they (and their senior management) read the boards and often post as well.
Disney is a big company and have a vested interest in making sure that they control the message about their products and services. 1) They want to know what we and others are saying about them and 2) they have lots of people posting here to spin things the way they want.
As long as they aren't breaking any rules here, that's fine with us. Each individual member of this site is fully able to sift through the info they read and decide what is true, what is false, and what is propaganda. ;)
They do?
In that case, now then. About the price of churros....
There are absolutely some very big names who read these boards. Some more often than others, but they definitely visit MiceChat.
One could easily assume that every professional with a heavy emotional investment in their business (not just this business but any business) reads the most relevant boards on the net at least part of the time, particularly in very specific or narrow fields where the conversation is easily followed. Wouldn't you be curious about what people are saying about your work in public? I would.
Executives who don't have an emotional investment or particular interest in their product (or consumers) still tend to keep tabs on talk through employees (or even whole divisions) who surf the net for them. Increasingly, major companies are finding the talk on the net important enough not just to monitor but to influence the conversation.
For example, did you know about DigiSynd? I just stumbled on this recently.

Why do you think they brought back the subs and the castle walk through?
And the refurbishment of the Mark Twain?
Power of the people!
Hi Tony. We love your work.
THAT is too general a statement. He has had some good projects, and recently did a great job with Lincoln. BUT, don't forget, Tomorrowland '98. Sure he wasn't totally responsible for that, BUT . . . .Quote:
