2. To what degree do you consider these factorswere
a) Foreseeable because Disney knew they were taking a risk by opening the theme park. The post Gulf War kept visitors from taking summer vacations. The World’s Fair in Seville and the 1992Olympics in Barcelona drew visitors away from EuroDisney. Disney didn’t know what to expect for breakfast and was unprepared.
b) Controllable because Disney could have anticipated the Frenchcustom of having wine with every meal. They could have lowered costs on hotel rooms and flights into Paris to see EuroDisney right away. (Cateora, Graham, 2007, pp. 614-616)
