Exactly. Walt was all about quality. TDO has been jacking up the prices of tickets and parking every year for the last 4 or 5 years and will keep doing so until guests stop paying the ridiculous prices and stop going for a few years. Unfortunately, guests these days complain about the prices yet still pay them...
And what parent is going to tell their own children, eager to go Disney World, "Sorry, dear. We can't go to Disney World this year because their quality has degraded steadily over the decades..."

Depending on who was in charge of the list at the time, either somewhere in Burbank or shredded in a dump.
My guess is that it's in the Disney archive. Although it could also be at the Disney museum in SF. Now, wouldn't that be a cool job to have - Disney librarian/historian. Sign me up!

That would have been Dave Smith who has been the Disney Archivist for the last 40 years. He retired this year but I can't find any info on who, if anyone, was his replacement or if it will be a number of people within the Walt Disney company.
We are all a little weird
And life's a little weird,
And when we find someone whose
Weirdness is compatible with ours,
We join up with them and fall in
Mutual weirdness and call it Love.”
