#1 I have been to Walt Disneyâs first theme park in China and I can report that it is the scariest place I have been since I visited North Korea a few years ago.

Oh, were the patrons eating bark off the trees?
Or was it all the giant images of the Great Leader Walt in every building [removed upon penalty of death]?

Classical trash which underplays the real suffering of millions of people in the left's alternate view of the universe. And the left accuses the non-left at the drop of a hat of being insensitive.

#2 A French labour union took Euro Disney, 40 per cent owned by Walt Disney, to court in the early 1990s for requiring its staff to sign up to a dress code that banned beards and moustaches.

God forbid anyone require the French to groom.

AFAICR, Hong Kong Disney staff are still being trained. At Disney World in early June, there was a group of trainees beginning their orientation -- I wouldn't have known what was going on, but a niece of mine is working there this summer and filled us in. It makes sense to me that, for a press preview, two months before official open, there'd be a smaller than normal staff and restricted access.

But, hey, I don't get paid to be an arrogant, snarky bastard. (It's only a hobby.)

#5 I guess being a Mickey Mouse writer distorts your perspective.
