This is so awesome. Like, nothing else needs to be said. Just sit back and bask in the chaos of Exxon's horrible PR

At this rate Disney is going to single handedly save the 80s.

Can't wait to see an Imagineer crack cold fusion in 1989

How advanced were these plan!?
When you're the nega-verse of a non-Exxon company and only starting to profit from Exxon's fall, only for things to take a dive; nothing can be done because players in the other quest realizing facing the Mouse is foolhardy.

While that is funny, unfortunately cold fusion is generally accepted as impossible in the current field of physics. It's still a running theory in this era, but there probably won't be a possibility of figuring out cold fusion legitimately seeing as that would require Synn going out of their way to create their own physics for how it works.
That said, did you intentionally reference the 1989 "discovery" and debunking of cold fusion? Kudos to you if so.

Advanced enough for an incredibly detailed 1:8 scale model to be constructed with fully furnished interiors. There's tons of concept art floating around, and rough ballparking things based on the maps that exist and the concept art available seems to indicate a project of about that scale.

Here is what Walt presented to the board and interest groups in 1967.
Here is the website in the description of that video

We should take the vacation action next turn as a victory lap if nothing else. Bask in the slow demise of those than have spurned our generosity and good works. Learn French by way of ordering drinks in a French Polynesia resort with our family. If things go to crap it will be kinda funny for Mike to develop one of those, I can't leave or things will go to hell mindsets.

Maybe, if their stock price keeps dropping at this rate, their shares will probably be worth pennies.Wait a sec. Can we.... buy Exxon?

Buying a company that is under government scrutiny, has many PR problems and which still has liabilities towards their extraction and refinery facilities does not seem wise to me.
I think that it would be more price effective for us to buy the assets we want and recruit their engineers.

Fun fact: Walt died before that video was presented in 1967. As you might be able to hear from the hoarseness in his voice in the video, this was filmed a few weeks before he died of lung cancer caused from his smoking habit that he picked up during his time in WW1.

Buying Exxon? Why? No seriously why, it is in quest a failing oil conglomerate with incompetent management extensive unions at refineries and quickly losing pull in Washington. Also it was still number 2 on the Fortune 500, remember it took 10 years for Kodak to drop a top spot to out. Also we pioneered Solar, so it would be weird if we went to Petroleum all of a sudden.
In terms of companies we should buy, I can think of a few. Wrather Corporation, aka the guy who owns the rights to Lassie and Lone Ranger, he also restored the Spruce Goose and Queen Mary in Long Beach... and most importantly he OWNS the Disneyland Hotel, cause Walt ran out of money back in 1955. Everything I've read up on Wrather shows he's a real piece of work, but the first opportunity we will have to get it is 1987 or 1988, when his widow dies. We buy Wrather, we get Lassie and Lone Ranger, but we also get a sizable piece of land in Long Beach with built in attractions AND control of the Disneyland Hotel

@Rockeye I, at least, am pretty sure buying Exxon was a joke. Both because it's funny to suggest we might be able to in light of their... issues, and because of all the reasons @Firebringer2077 mentioned. So, Wrather corporation. I had to look them up, but I can confirm pretty much everything you typed is true, @Firebringer2077, plus they also possess the rights to Challenge of the Yukon, later known as Sergeant Preston of the Yukon. You know, for whatever those rights are worth.
