Bits of info from WDI

I do know what protocol has been at WDI. They don't take fanboi questions.

I'm quite certain you're telling the truth. But, as with all organizations, protocol breaks down. In fact, protocol such as this often breaks down in a fairly predictable cycle or due to the most pedestrian of reasons.

To wit: a temporary receptionist is brought in due to the long time phone wrangler fighting off a bit of indigestion. Not understanding the long adhered to response to public inquiries, a fanboi call is routed to a non-phone wrangler who, having never received such a call before, either doesn't know how to respond or thinks of the most convenient person/most easily remembered internal number to forward said call to in order to continue on with their day, unmolested. And so it goes until the line goes dead, it gets routed to PR, or someone starts yammering. It happens, quite literally, all the time.

As to what really went down here ... I don't have a clue.

Exactly right. Which is why your commentary is of little value and bonus hint of snark has the reek of a micturating engagement.

I'm glad you usually agree with me. That likely means you have at least half a functioning brain! ... I would love to hear what you believe my political philosophy is because I am many things, naive wouldn't be one.

"Listen, fools: I am not naive!" Naivety masked by cynicism is still naivety. But let us save this peculiar aside for the future. Good times will be had.

Wow. For a newbie, you sure seem to have me figured out.

I am in awe of my own greatness.

On a marginally more serious note, I've been skulking around this site for too many crusty years to count. Only very recently did a general madness grip me and I decided to register and fling a few feces.

All in good fun, though. I always enjoy a spirited defense, especially where none is truly necessary.

:lol: We have a whole thread on that. Shame "Frank" didn't give you more specifics. If he did, you'd have a lot easier of a time convincing people.

Still is a very strange departure from PR, though.

I know this. But I just wanted to let you guys know that I wasn't lying! Haha. Frank is a real person. xD

Nah, I make it all up as i go along. For some bizarre reason (guess the fates just hate me) I just happen to guess correctly almost all the time.

It's tough to be king.:king:

Possible? Sure. Sarah Palin was a candidate for VP, so anything's possible.

Likely? Um ... NO. Not at WDI ... not these days. ... Transferred to someone outside WDI who yammered? Definitely possible.

Two things I like: snark and big vocabularies!:lol:

Please, don't put off for tomorrow the online fun you can have today. Hell, I just started a four-day weekend, so please ... I'd love to hear/read why you believe me to be naive.

Cynical? 100% dead accurate ... Naive? Not on your life.

I'd rather you be in awe of my greatness because I am reasonably confident in it ... while yours is still a mystery to me!:)

Well, then, I'm sure you realize how much the fanbois love me ... they really, really love me!:D:eek::ROFLOL:

All in good time. I'd like to slowly build up as a faux antagonist. It makes it that much more exciting when the big artillery pieces get rolled in.

What's with that flat little mundane building behind the new PH Spinner?


And does anyone see that we have the bridge to Sleeping Beauties Castle from DL leading to BatB? :lol:

Are you looking in the top right? If so, that appears to be the train station. Much like Barnstormer, the theme of the building doesn't seem to be determined at the time this model was made.

I just thought of something.

What's going to happen to the Alice in Wonderland candy trail during MNSSHP?

That is the best place to get candy!

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!:lol:

I think this is awesome! And funny too.

You deserve a pat on the back for doing an end run around all the rest of us who never would have thought to just ring up WDI in Glendale and ask to speak to someone about an upcoming project! It's so simple that it's brilliant.

You may not have gotten top-secret intel, but you very clearly got some questions answered and some info straight from the horses mouth. And again, you did it by just being honest and polite and calling the place up and asking to speak to someone. Bravo! :sohappy:

Indeed. Seriously, some of you are total jackasses. Those of you who are making fun of the OP are the same people that always claim they're the best source for info on these boards (which is a joke, by the way). Don't be upset that this person talked to someone and you didn't.

It may feel like it, but I promise, it's not the end of the world. HA!

One dark day,in 1974 AD,a boy was born,that boy as we've come to know him is WDW1974. He was born in the middle of Death Valley and raised by a pack of wolves surviving solely on cacti. He wore nothing but the skin of an animal.

In 1984 AD he traveled with his wild pack,by foot to Florida for a family reunion with another pack. On their way they fought off lions and tigers and bears without even saying oh my.

On their way they stopped in WDW. The rest of his pack was killed. He has lived there ever since with only his great grandwolf surviving. He is known by the locals as " doom-and-gloomer" due to the horrible sound he makes that spreads doom and gloom throughout the land.

As you can see,he has quite the story.

Although it's one of the most misused terms in the English language, AD technically comes before a date, not after. 4500 BC; AD 2010.

:p

I apologize for feeling compelled to add to the general snarkiness. Do I get bonus points for right-clicking and selecting synonyms from a thesaurus? ;)

Well, besides learning how to conjugate -AR verbs in Spanish, and declination and paralax in Astronomy, I learned something today.

By the way, substantial changes have been made to the FL expansion model, and most of the arguing is useless. (But isn't that usually the case on any online forum?) The OP is generally correct, regardless of how he got the information.

And while we're on the topic—TLM show building has begun construction, but nothing has gone vertical. There's simply a big hole [a prodigious crater].
