Re: Disney flag at half staff

thanks for the picture, it's nice to see that disneyland is paying their respects to Roy, he will be missed

It's great of them to pay respect to Roy E. Disney, and the way in which they chose to do it is very classy and respectful. He will be missed.

umm...

I thought Iger was referring to the main flag in Town Square being flown at half mast. Is it only the flag on the train station that is at half mast? Regardless, it is a nice thought to Roy that Disneyland is doing this. GummiBears_Rock, I am curious as to what is meant by an "umm..." in the previous post? Roy did a great deal for both the Theme Parks and The Studio. He will be sorely missed as he is about the only Direct Family Member who really had any interest in keeping things on course.

he is about the only Direct Family Member who really had any interest in keeping things on course.

The Miller family would likely take issue with that comment... likewise not to speak ill of the dead but there was a substantial length of time when Roy's interest in the company was questionable and he was there in name only. He only tended to step in when things were at their lowest point, and utilized his direct ties with Roy and Walt to garner support for a shift in management. He did a lot for the company and cared a lot about the company but he was not the only Disney who felt that way.
