	Oh you mean, the managing part? Yes, I realized that after I typed it. Sorry. Yes, we can say his dad manages the Disney stores? If that's still ok with the mods, of course? But, yea, it wouldn't go in the directory, but Ryan can still say his dad manages downtown Disney right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, especially because I think each store has its own manager, so his dad would be more of a bigwig if he just managed Downtown Disney as a whole. Like an area manager or something. I really don't know the exact title so I'd play it safe and say he oversees downtown disney. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Coroporate Manager? Does that sound right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm really not sure, you'd have to do the research on that if you want to get specific about it.

But having worked for Disney in the past there's only one way to describe how it works. Disney is basically like its own country and they have very specific rules and ways of doing things. Everyone who works there is at the mercy of whoever is in charge, so no matter how high up you are, there are still that many more people above you. And they're all pretty underpaid (it's a service industry first and foremost), so if you want to make your character wealthy he's going to have to be pretty high up. People generally don't work at Disney for the pay, they work there for the benefits (i.e. free admission, area discounts, etc..)

That's why I suggested generalizing it. Especially if you don't want to do all the research for it. Saying he oversees it gets the point across.

Hope that helps. :)

	Yes, that definitely helps. It makes sense/ And yes he is very wealthy, so I will just go with what you said, until I have the time to do some research and make it more personalized. (Reply to this) (Parent)
