Eisner's going to leave a monkey of his in charge. Someone who will do whatever he says. That's why he's taking so long to leave -- he's making sure the company will still be his.

I know, the successor thing is going to be hell. They need someone who is going to be about the magic and merchandise. That's why I should be head of the company! lol

But seriously, when he is gone...what's next? Someone has to take over and get the company back on track. It could be worse by the time he resigns. Prices for items could sky rocket. (It's not like I am still not contributing. I just bought a 23 dollar talking Jasmine doll.) Who knows how many sequels and 3-D movies we'll have by then.

I saw that this morning... it made my day!

I am, however, waiting for the other shoe to drop. I expected Eisner to dig his claws in and hang on as he has done in the past. Also, that first choice of Bob Iger as a successor leaves me very concerned. He's Eisner's puppet... will we really be any better off?

And the article mentions Paul Pressler as a possibility, too. On behalf of all Disneyland regulars, I wish to say, "Not in our house!!!!" When he and Cynthia Hariss were in charge of Disneyland, they destroyed it. He's all merchandising, and no magic. Now, Matt Ouimet is scrambling to pick up the pieces they left behind in time for the 50th. He's all merchandising, and no magic.
