#1 1. Disney is in the entertainment business, not life and death health.

2. Those who can't afford Disney have other viable options.

3. Disney makes you pay cash for the privilege. Being drafted was never a privilege.

#2 Ummm, SimPark did, pretty damn sure Disney does too.

And even if they aren't, which they are, but the customers are which is why there is the deal where someone pays to chaperone a handicapped person so as both can use the express lane.

#3 4. Disney does measure wait times. There are signs saying from this point on 30 minutes, or 45 minutes. Also they've set up fast pass to help avoid the lines if you plan ahead.

#4 If the VAs line is too long, the veteran dies and the VA lives on.

If the Park's line is too long, the customer does not return and the Park dies.

#5 Are Disney's wait times designed to have customers die off before receiving services, like the VA?

#6 Disney, McDonald's, Applebee's, AT&T, Amazon, Jiffy Lube, most major private Hospital and Health Care entities plus lots of other companies (and maybe even some Waffle Houses) all measure customer wait times to determine improvements in their 'satisfaction delivery'. Some are VERY detailed in their measurements as their revenue depends on it, And I'm sure the Disney Company is no exception.

It IS a big deal for most firms, making the customer happy that is. They're not the 'Only Game in Town' like the VA.

Bureau of Indian Affairs Health System sucks, too.

Wonder what the common thread is?

#9 I keep getting the feeling Disney ain't the Mouse that Walt built anymore. Just another branch of SovietAmerica.com.

#10 What gorb said except I'd want them to get rid of all the folks at ABC News too.

#11 Go back to the original copyright of 14 years with an extension by the individual artist/inventor/creator for another 14 years. Everything other than trademarks, would be public domain as it was originally intended. Now that would be payback.

#12 Why haven't we heard from Bernie on this? He is on the Veteran's Affairs Committie. In 2014 he was the Chairman. He's doing what he does best. Sitting on his ass, doing nothing, collecting a paycheck and waiting for someone else to do something.
