Do you know any wrestling fans? Or comic book fans? Or any fans who are at that level? They all tend to be communities filled with harsh critics and staunch supporters, both motivated by a deep-rooted love of the thing they are fans of. I think it is true that every fan-base complains and...

What are you trying to imply with this line. I've seen you ask it twice now. Are you suggesting that folks should be thankful for their jobs or that somehow having the right to a day off is something that we should cherish? I should point out that MANY folks do NOT have off tomorrow...

Another thing to consider is that not everyone is at the same place in life and thus might be affected differently by these things. Were my wife and I still in our 20's and without children, we might choose to take our vacation money elsewhere, but we aren't and we have two young children...

No, I am not. If I were to say, your opinion is wrong and you should not hold it, THAT would be forcing my opinion on to you. I'm simply disagreeing with your opinion and choosing not to act upon it. Having an opinion doesn't necessarily mean that someone else has to do anything about it in...

Ok, so, if I don't like Off-Kilter and think that the new acts sound interesting, that opinion is wrong? Secondly, I don't talk to Disney directly, I don't have that power, outside of my money and my time. To that end, I have told them to replace TLM and BATB shows by not attending them and...

I think this sentence perfectly illustrates the anger that some folks are talking about. Your final statement about addicts paying for drugs... are you stating that those who don't feel the same as you are saps and addicts? If you are, then I think that is rather unfair to folks who...

Yes, that is a perfectly valid opinion, and in my opinion, I should not. The problem comes up when people try to impose their opinion on others. You can say I should give you 80% of my income until the cows come home, and maybe from your perspective that makes sense, I don't know where you are...

No, all opinions are valid, it's just that not everything that people claim are opinions are opinions. I think we should wait to see if the new acts are any good is an opinion. I never cared for Off-Kilter in the first place is an opinion. Opinion's, by definition, cannot be wrong because...

From Dictionary.com Iconic adjective 1.of, pertaining to, or characteristic of an icon. 2.Art. (of statues, portraits, etc.) executed according to a convention or tradition. Now please tell me how Off-Kilter better suits this adjective than the other acts in World Showcase. I'm not debating...

You keep saying that people aren't following the conversation or aren't getting it... I disagree. People are stating that, for them, there are other acts that are just as iconic. That word is a difficult one to evaluate, iconic, how does one define it? You seem to think that drawing in large...

Since a big part of this thread has been anger about Disney switching to third-party performers, I think this is something that would be important to find out. If Off-Kilter is indeed a third-party then there is no reason for fans of theirs to assume that other third-party acts would be any...

I do not profess to have any inside information other than the fact that I once directed an actress who is now one of the performers in the Aladdin show in DCA, so this asking me to show documents argument really is silly. As for your logic regarding the timing of things, I think that one...

I'm not a fan of cuts, and I wish they could keep the old and bring in the new. I do think that the gradual cutbacks have had a noticeable impact over the years when taken cumulatively. That being said, what you've described seems to me that in the past Disney has gone beyond what they needed...

17 years seems pretty steady to me as a performer. Let me change this back and forth and find a third route... Can you describe the way in which Disney SHOULD behave in this situation. Assume that they have decided an act is going to end, how should they proceed from that point?

I think this is a fair point. I do think that part of working in this type of industry is recognizing that this is always a possibility, but it doesn't make it easier when it happens. I guess my main point is that, from a visitor perspective, this isn't necessarily bad news. I acknowledge...

I think that one could argue that an attraction is very different from live entertainment. Attractions are consistent year after year and serve as the primary attractant for the park. Performances and entertainments such as the ones being discussed are less permanent and more of a pleasant...

I think a lot of this has to do with personal preference. I do agree that Disney needs to get out ahead of the story and share details on the new offerings and why we should be excited for them.

Pretty sure I didn't post the above quote attributed to me.

A band who had a steady gig for 17 years? I mean, maybe its because I do theater and know lots of folks who are musicians, but this is part of the business. This isn't like a normal 9-5 job where working somewhere for 17 years earns you seniority or security, this is an industry where you...

And just because you like them doesn't mean they are. I'm not saying whether they are or aren't, but the opinion thing here works both ways.
