I’ve been here since 2008 so this is all fascinating and exciting to read. 74’s true identity?!!! Say what you want about him, it was always a treat to read one of his threads (not as much towards the end of his posting) and he wasn’t wrong often about how poorly run the parks were during that time.

This is all especially interesting given the Viacom/CBS re-merger that took place last week.

3. I haven't written for MiceChat in a long time. Last I looked, they were using the name "MiceAge Update" rather than Al's name directly; there was something of a retirement more or less for Al. Could he still be writing occasional articles? Yes, sure. Especially if someone helped him.

Kevin, in case you missed it, MiceChat released the first article "penned" directly by Al, for the first time in many years. It was essentially a hit piece on Chapek, based around on SWGE.

I know... but there could be ambiguity there.. in that he's behind the article, but not necessarily Gary in name. I have some bits that would suggest otherwise.. but can't confirm. Maybe @KevinYee can be more direct.. Gary or Michael?
I’m mostly a lurker but I was curious who Spirit was after he posted Gary’s “Disney CEO Fumbles Entry Into China” article - and after some digging I thought he was Michael, not Gary. Maybe both of them post under that name, like in The Prestige 😂

... what? :oops:
Well, it means that, at the very least, 74 just threw TP under the bus. Even if it's not true.

Given that they have met, I do have to question @TP2000 on this post:
But my initials are TP and my first name is Thor. To keep my anonymity online, as I don't want some rabid Knott's Berry Farm fan knocking on my door, I just go with the TP2000 thing. But suffice it to say my surname is as stereotpyically Swedish as my first name is; my Swedish parents weren't too creative after they emigrated to this country after the war, as I'm not the first Thor in the immediate or extended family. :rolleyes:
So is your name really Thor?

adding fuel to the fire... one of the fake twitter accounts created tried to call out spirit as Michael back in 2015... including links to old usenet posts

also calling into question the association between the.dreamfinder and spirit.

Now, these fake accounts have always been done to throw dirt and stay hidden... but pieces are lining up...

So Spirit has multiple accounts and made up the whole article...

...but why? and why now?

Again.
It was brought up before that WDWMagic has more than a few (some premium) members who work for the Disney company to spin the narrative in the direction the company wants the narrative spun. It was brought up before that some people who work for this site are in direct connection to the Disney company. And it was always silenced.
You were all used as free focus groups.
Do you think it's tOtAlLy RaNDoM that things such as Tower of Terror turning into Guardians was leaked here?
Or that Country Bears closing (which is a real thing... or was a real thing...just like DHS's TOT almost getting a makeover was a real thing) was leaked?
I can name more than a few more.
These weren't random things being leaked by spicy and rouge high ranking cast members, these were things in the final stages of planning that needed a free focus group.
You were the free focus group.
You ARE the free focus group.
Make Disney give you a free Mickey Mouse ice cream bar, you've earned it.
