Our revels now are ended. These our actors, As I foretold you, were all spirits and Are melted into air, into thin air: And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces, The solemn temples, the great globe itself, Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, Leave not a rack behind.

Exactly. Attraction-interest trends, responses to restaurants and shows, CM complaint trends and the like -- info forwarded to several divisions, D23 among them.
And don't forget those wonderful folks at HR, where the unofficial motto is "We luuvs to read us some rude-postin' CMs who blab their work schedules and hire-in dates."

I'll have to check with one of my fellow CM coworkers who is in that department, but as far as I know, the in-park survey takers don't ask about fan sites. They ask questions specifically about a guest's visit on that day or time. It's possible you might be thinking of an online or emailed survey?
You only explained the budget half, not the box office part. Even if it wasn't made for $150 million. Let's say it was made for half at $75 million, the box office should not be....
Domestic Total as of Apr. 14, 2011: $20,740,823
Worldwide: $36,540,823
This movie was a major DUD. Assuming that Disney's take is only half of the theater's receipts and we should count the costs of marketing, let's say Disney lost it all.

I have been asked the in DTD, not the park itself.
The DTD survey people are the same department as the in-park survey people. All I can tell you about them, though, is that they've got really cool tablet PC's, and I wish I had one!!
If I remember correctly, Darkbeer posted some pics of the Mark Twain on this site and he showed just how much the MT was in disrepair. Within a couple weeks, they brought in the MT for a refurb.

This has been a Filmways presentation dahling.
That's a classic example of "a broken clock is right twice daily". There was a thread about the tarp on the Indy show building looking sad, and a few days later, the tarp was down. Several folks here commented that they msut have been reading the comments, and decided to take the tarp down as a reaction. What they didn't know was that this was a scheduled maintenance item that was on the schedule months in advance. Right now, I can start a thread about [insert favorite attraction here] needing maintenance, and if the thread goes on long enough, eventually, the clock will strike 12 and that attraction will go down for maintenace. Not because of the thread, but because it's time for its scheduled maintenance.
Most recently we were midway down Main Street. Had to move half-way through the survey to avoid being run over by a horse. One of the questions was (roughly) "Do you frequent any of these sites for Disney information?" Disney.com, MiceChat, etc, etc were on the list. There were about 10 options. I've been asked that 3 times now.
We always try to answer the questions for those guys since most people seem to avoid them like they are carriers of the plague.

Exactly. Great way to get feedback on the spot. Many big companies that use consumer feedback use a separate division who is dedicated to gathering information of all kinds. Disney I know is no different and this is why you have those CMs doing the surveys everyday just as you enter the gates. A place like this while can be helpful is not the full majority of guests. this is but one site part of many others that information can be gathered from...that is not to say though that this site isn't ignored.
While I may not gather information like the CMs at the front of the parks do, I still like to ask simple questions to guests. A simple "how was your day?" can open up to good feedback.
...seriously
I found this enlightening, but his comments suggests he reads fansites for his amusement rather than anything about improving WOC for the customer's benefit. He does keep saying he reads them all, which comes across as patronizing (but that's just me).
Speaking as someone who knows well the look, sound and smell of Disney Corporate patronization, IMO Steve Davison has been, is, and almost certainly will be for the rest of his working life, free of that habit.
What he said at the head of the piece about turning over one's project to the audience is pure truth. Regardless of your title or position, if your creative heart has gone into a project, if you've lived and breathed the project, the approach of the moment when your feedback ceases to be exclusively from your peers and employers -- the moment when you hand your work (and yourself) to your audience -- is like being launched into another zone. It's a mix of emotions from excitement to dread. You both want to read your reviews -- any reviews -- and dread them. For those of us who make our living from that process, regardless of the project, Steve's words and manner on that video, in that venue, ring totally true.

Aashee: Why do they spend "millions having those people with electronic clipboards ask what customers think?" First, they don't spend "millions". Second, they don't ask what you think. They ask you specially designed questions to elicit a specific type of response for a specific goal. Trust me, when there is a meeting of the suits, they do not sit around and say: "I was reading michchat, and Aashee said......". Sorry.
