My understanding is the real problem with the bear in the Magic Kingdom was that he started his day in Epcot and was not supposed to park hop until 1 p.m.

I think “the Disney difference” at Disney’s theme parks was never “stories” or “characters.” It was quality. Everyone rallied to give the guest the best of everything: attractions, design, music, entertainment, customer service, food, etc., within practical limits, of course.
