Depp at Yacht Club

[LostNametag]

Alright, so word is that Johnny Depp heard that I wasnt going to be able to make it and cancelled his appearance at POTC.
Actually, I dont know how much of anything I post people believe, but my Pirate friend said that Depp is not on property and hasnt been. Security confirmed that with her area today. The Cast Member Exclusive is tomorrow beginning at 7am. Grand Opening ribbon cutting/ whatever they're goona do is Friday. All I post is what I have heard from the people that work there- and I know that they have probably 'only heard' it as well. I'm a huge sceptic and hardly believe anything around here until I actually see it. <shrug> But if anyone does want to visit me- I will be opening Writer's Stop tomorrow, going in at 7am. C'mon by!

If Depp is on heroin, WDW is getting an expanded monorail network, a Harry Potter ride AND a 5th gate.

Idiot must have been talking to a bus driver again...

So we should assume that you were there in that high school class with him? :veryconfu

No, my aunt was his teacher at Miramar High back when she still taught. Apparently he was a good student though and really just kept to himself. Sorry if I made it sound like I was in class with him. :lol:

Ok, can ANYONE CONFIRM if the man will be there tomorrow? I will buy lunch/dinner for the person who can tell me if this thing is happening and what time it's starting, who will be there, etc. :lol:

And I will buy breakfast. My main concern is how long he will be there. I arrive on the 15th and I know it's a streach (sp?) but he could still be there then. And if he is I would like to welcome you all to the opening of the Yacht Club Capmgounds. LOL! If he is there, I will find him.

Get me an autograph please. It should read, "From Johnny to my good friend Woody. Come over to my house in France and live with me and my family for a couple of years as my guest. What kind of beer do you like?" :wave:

No kidding! :lol:

Hahaha... where do i start?

Does Depp do heroin? Probably not.
Has he ever? Wouldn't doubt it for a second.
Do I care? Hell no.
If he did, would people on here believe it? Probably not.
If he did, would he go to West L.A. to buy it? Probably not.

Remember kids, Depp was a wild dude back in the day. He was known as a badass who tore up hotel rooms. He lived with famed drug user Hunter S. Thompson to prepare for "Fear and Loathing." He also perfected the life of Geroge Jung (sp?), the most successful (and unsuccessful) cocaine smuggler in American history.

Depp did use drugs when he was younger - and so did many people, myself included.... I doubt he regrets it, it helped make him who he is today. Unfortunately people in America, and especially the L.A. area are petty about stuff like this.

-I'm out.

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF ANYTHING IS HAPPENING AT PIRATES IN 5-6 HOURS?!?!? :lol:

 

[goofntink]

Nothing until 8:45. Reporters and news media, are already here and set up. Local channels are broadcasting live reports on morning news. No, on Johnny Depp, is NOT on property. Knightly however IS, from what we have been told only one to be here for Re-opening festivities.

 

[pacochran]

Just heard that Depp is going to be on the Early Show this morning and I believe they said he was in NY. Even if in Orlando, prabably not at opening.

 

[dmagickingdom]

So it's starting at 8:45? Since the park doesn't open until 9am, will they be letting people in early? I'm just trying to figure out what time I should leave my house to be there in time (I'm about 20 minutes away)....

well, yesterday as well as today they had a cast preview and the ribbon cutting ceremony was done by phil holmes....
There was a rumor that CAST ONLY with resort guests(extra magic hours) would get to witness the ribbon cutting today. This would prevent crazy normal guests from approaching johnny depp(assuming he will be there) and the cast members attending the preview would act as a natural barrier between johnny depp and resort guests. (since cast can't interact w/ celebs without fear of termination) This would allow a very smooth ribbon cutting without the need for tight security around johnny depp and also rumored orlando bloom...

I guess we will see soon!!

What a shocker!

The Cast Member Exclusive is tomorrow beginning at 7am. Grand Opening ribbon cutting/ whatever they're goona do is Friday.

Ya think that JD may be in Holloywood that day for the movie premier? I saw that there is a PoC red carpet show on E! around 5pmCST scheduled for Friday, but I don't know if it is live, taped, or just tape delayed.

 

[Chape19714]

The Daliy Buzz just finished thier live field report from PoTC. None of the stars were there. I'd assume if they were there, Disney would want them in front of the media and morning news shows, espically Daily Buzz, as it's syndicated across much of Amercia.

The premier was about two weeks ago in Disneyland, and the show premiered the day after. It is basically just a bunch of interviews and a brief but high quality preview of the new attraction.

I was there this morning and there were no stars. The better Jack Sparrow street performer did his thing for the cameras (I saw Local 6 there). I also saw a group of guests dressed as pirates... two of them were having a pirate-themed wedding.

Well, here's the scoop that I know of....My wife was there this morning and there was absolutely nothing going on...The cast preview had no johnny depp but only the Jack Sparrow lookalike which I will say I saw myself on thursday and he is very much a lookalike to johnny depp's character. Phil Holmes did the ribbon cutting on Thursday and just some press (local 6)etc.. there today...Everything was hyped and rumored as usual and there was no JD or Orlando Bloom.

I will say the attraction is very cool though and you surely have to check it out the next time you are at MK...very well done...all the same stuff as before with Jack Sparrow...you know the rest if you have been keeping up with it.
