Call me a pessimist, but I don't think this, along with Mike, will go anywhere.
How long till the assassination attempts?
Most folks with all that money (he is very wealthy) usually would enjoy anything else rather than being in a boardroom at his age. Sleeping, drinking, fishing, t/v, etc. Note to self: when I grow up and retire, toss alarm clock out of window.

The Disney family gave control to Eisner long ago when they hired him. If Eisner was not brought in, the outcome may have led to a Disney-chapter 11 with the way they flushed money down the toilet on park projects while totally forgetting how to make a movie that broke even.

Anyhow, it is what it is, Roy wants to run the show again, and I am curious who else in the family has the stones or knowledge to run a multi-billion dollar venture of a global park system (new term) and a media giant.
