In Chapter 14 the book talks about Disney Studios and Universal Studios and how much they have done since the mid 19070's. Universal and Disney have taken over Orlando, Florida and made it into a fun family environment. The two major Corporations have built their own theme parks within 15 minutes of each other; and Disney World is the number 9 tourist destination in the United States. It is fascinating to see two major Corporations/Studios take over an entire town and transform it into such a huge destination. For every successful movie you can find a just as successful attraction at one of the many theme parks!
So who else loves Disney?
This is a good point. I think it was smart to build right next to each other because if people are coming for one they will probably stay for two. i never really thought about this until you brought it up and it is a good point.
