Yeah we learned all about this in Disney Brainwashing... er... um, 
"Traditions" (the intro to Disney class they put all the college interns 
thru).

>From what I understood (last time I asked friends that still work for 
Disney, which was a while back), Celebration is (was?) a borderline 
cesspool of high crime and bad neighbors. So I guess that would make it a 
successful failure?
