[Fun] What if...

[Scary Scott]

Ok I know that this is imposible but I had tought about it so bare with me...
Lets say that some how Walt Disney came back, Be it Time Machine or by other means (get creative here but not zombeh and if you go zombeh it better be funny)
This hapend without the Disney Company's knowlege so how would they treat him in his own park?
What if he wanted a cigarette? would he be told to go to the designated smoking area? or if He told them who he is they would let him light up anyway anywhere?
What if he liked the way the DLR is?
or What would the Co do if Walt HATED it?
And lastly if YOU saw someone in the park and it looked and sounded just like Walt Disney would you aproch him or just shrug it off because you know hes dead anyhow so it cant be him?

Re: What if...

This is taking the (ever so popular) "What Would Walt Do/Think???" type of thread to the max... :lol:

[DisneyIzz]

Re: What if...

Well, there was the old rumour that Walt had been cryogenically frozen and was stored beneath Pirates!!!
And I reckon he'd deserve to be treated as the ultimate guest in his own park, so he'd probably get away with almost anything

Re: What if...

Walt really wouldn't have any say in the company nowadays, unless he was elected CEO. Otherwise, I don't think he could barge into Disney HQ demanding that things be changed.

Re: What if...

They'd ask him how sub-zero was, and then he would fire them all.

Ok so thats a pretty good one!
you dont have to be realistic I just want your guesstimations on this one,
So here is my Variant...
A Super Disney Fanatic (and yeah hes gonna be someone from miceage )
Invents a time machine and goes back in time and gets to Walt and gets him into the future to treat his cancer before it gets bad, After he feals better Walt says he wants to see his park and so they go there.
A ton of people recognize him as Walt Disney but the company dosent and tell him to get out of the park when he explains himself they then call the cops when the cops arive and they ID him it turns out that it is him after all!
Walt then goes to his nephiew Roy and tells him that he is back and taking the buisness back and when they put it to a vote Walt is CEO all over again! And at long last balance is restored to the ENTIRE disney company after all.
Now thats one horse hockey story that I wish would come true

Ummm. All Disney stock would DROP. Re-animation is not real. Nobody would want to invest in rubbish, hypothetical or otherwise. Without investors, all current Disney projects would come to a stand-still.

I think I'm missing something here . I'm curious what you meant. The post you responded to involved time travel, not re-animation of the cryogenically frozen (I think that's what you meant by that), and this is all just supposed to be amusing speculation. Also, I don't understand - what would be rubbish? The stuff Walt would hypothetically create if he did come to the present via time travel?

Re: What if...

There was a short story online called 'Thawing Walt' (or something like that) that took the idea of your thread into story form. It was a few years ago. It was actually pretty sad how it was all depicted. I would like to think he would be thrilled his parks are still standing and going strong - and they are now spread all over the world!

IF time travel was possible, I could see this scenario as being quite plausable. Kinda fun to think about!

Um, I don't think the OP seriously thinks this could happen. BUT, in the even that time travel/re-animation WAS possible, YOU WOULD BE QUITE WRONG!!! If Walt came back and took over as CEO, stock would SKYROCKET! Because Walt would be back at the reigns, people would be more confident with the company's future and overall function. After all, HE was the one who designed the park to begin with, and look how successful it was those first few years.

BTW, when one invests in stock, one IS investing in the hypothetical or otherwise, meaning one is investing in the POSSIBILITY of the "idea/business model" doing well. If one LIKES the proposal of the company or direction the company is headed, then one buys its stock. If one doesn't like the way the current direction of the company one is invested in is headed, then one sells their stock.

So, if Walt came back and took over, I'd DEFINITELY buy LOADS of stock (and then sell it as soon as the huge price spike leveled out).

Sounds like the plot of some goofy Disney movie that would have been made in the late 70's.

Re: What if...

if Walt came back as a zombie, in my mind first thing he would do is eat Eisner brains

[Ice101]

Re: What if...

I am actually starting the think the company would assassinate him before anyone knew he came back to life so that he could not voice his opinions.

Just kidding!

Re: What if...

Well, now this is just making me want there to be a Zombie Walt performer out in New Orleans Square during Halloweentime......

Walking down Royal Street just after sunset, round the corner, and who do you run into....BEST. IDEA. EVER.

Okay, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.....mostly. I only want this 98.9999999999 percent.

I'd automatically double my shares! The stock would end up rising like crazy. You obviously invest only for the very short term.

Whatever works for you...

Re: What if...

wow It came back from the dead!
I almost forgot I posted this thread. As for the zombie walt in NOS I would like it but would at the same time I dont think anyone would like it (not a good way to pay tribute to a great man)

Heh, well, yes, I'm under no illusions anyone apart from me would be amused by that, or they'd actually do it...

[Let's Enunciate]

Re: What if...

They posed this question (paraphrased of course) to one of the guys who created Disneyland and later the beginnings Disneyworld with Walt. I don't remember who it was and I don't feel like looking it up. Might've been Marty Sklar now that I think about. Anyways Marty offered that if Walt came back and saw how far the parks have come and all the countries they are in, Walt would say "What took so long?"

Re: What if...

Walt then goes to his nephiew Roy and tells him that he is back and taking the buisness back and when they put it to a vote Walt is CEO all over again!

I'm not sure what going to Roy's gravesite is gonna do for Walt here.
