The senior Walt Disney Co. parks executive who oversaw development of the company's billion-dollar "MyMagic+" technology project is leaving the company. Nick Franklin, executive vice president for next-generation experience at Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, will leave Disney in July, according to people familiar with his plans. Franklin has been with Disney since 1996 and is a member of Disney Parks Chairman Tom Staggs' 11-member executive committee. A spokeswoman for Disney said the decision to depart was Franklin's.

When the spokesperson said it was his decision, was there a winky face next to the statement?

You just spent a billion dollars what will you do next ? "I am going to...... Shoot I am already here". I guess if he want to continue to spend big money he should take a government job. I hear there are opening @ healthcare .gov....

I've always wondered at what point a person realizes he signed up for a suicide mission.

"Oh..... Crap...."

Well July is within his MyMagic+ 180 day reservation window so if the system works he will be able to leave...
