In 1993, Disney’s CEO Michael Eisner made plans to build a new Disney theme park in Washington D.C. However, over the past year, there was much debate and opposition on whether or not Disney should come to Washington. Disney could have better anticipated the opposition to its new theme park proposal by exercising “well-crafted lobbying and negotiating tactics” (Argenti, 2016, p. 230). With many influential groups in Washington, it would have been in Disney’s best interest to explore these…

It's not like it's a "tramp stamp," (is that still a thing?), but some on social media are not warming up to Ariel Winter's new butt tattoo. It's less of where the new ink is located on Ariel -- like the "Modern Family" star's other tattoos -- than what the meaning signifies. Ariel Winter, 19, gave fans on Snapchat an eyeful on Sunday when she uploaded a partial image of her butt that revealed another tattoo. In the pantless picture, Ariel (we assume it's her; her face isn't shown in the snap)…

Now back then film technology was not only expensive but had many restrictions because of the level it was at. They would focus on feature-length films instead of shorts.

The story doesn’t even have to be the…

Disney Enterprises was fortified from there on out. "Mickey Mouse went on to become a national figure, international attraction, and finally a…
