This new goal is to turn make believe into the reality of more fun equals more profit. The light side of me thinks it great to have all that animation without an expensive road trip to a Disney park. The logical part of me thinks parents without big bucks will have difficulty with the “can’t-afford-it” speech to their children when they must leave emptyhanded. A side note: People with allergies or breathing sensitivities are going to hate Disney when the fragrance of Christmas trees permeates the entire store because a single person is previewing “A Christmas Carol.” How much will those lawsuits subtract from Disney’s sales profit?
