	Rasulo at the Citigroup Leisure Conference
		Rasulo seems also to have learned a lesson that his pointed out by US- and European-fans repeatedly who voice their concern about what they think is too high investment in shows and festivals that only generate short term results.
		Jay Rasulo referred to this idea not as a concept in a early stage but as a reality for the upcoming attraction which he did not mention as an option either but as a fact.
		Rasulo pointed out one major advantage of these ideas still in concept phase: they are a "cost effective way to integrate hot franchises into our theme park properties while they are still at the peak of their popularity".

		And that's a major sea change from the recent past for Rasulo, who knows very little about resort operations and only deigns it necessary to visit Anaheim when there's a big press event to schmooze and be photographed at.
		Rasulo has often let up to an entire calendar year go by before he visits either property in Anaheim or Orlando, and it's very clear to all who work with him that he has no real passion for the business of theme parks and E ticket attractions.
		If Rasulo has his way, they will have pulled the financials together and be able to use the movie premiere to announce that the third ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet is being built and will be home ported in Southern California.

		Secondly, Matt grew increasingly frustrated with the decisions coming down from Jay Rasulo about the direction this new Parks and Resorts mega-department was heading in.
