Guest banned from WDW for meth lab joke.

I am sure all of the call center tapes will be reviewed - many times.

They were probably listened to a few dozen times before they sent security to the room.

Actually, I bet they weren't, but I bet they have been now. And most likely, that CM doesn't work at the company any more.

Why is it that when people do something stupid, everyone defends them right away cause we only heard THEIR side of the story?

He's no Heisenberg, obviously Walt (White, not Disney) would have known well enough to turn his camera 90 degrees and record his video in the appropriate landscape format. WHY OH WHY must people screw that up?!?!!

Human nature.

 

[Hakunamatata]

I think it's obvious he ****ed off the CM so bad, that he/she decided to really mess with this guy.

Kind of what I'm thinking. I'm guessing there is another version of this story and it involves some not so nice behavior on his part. Disney isn't in the business of shutting off the cash inflow. Something serious went down.

I am familiar with this particular story.

It comes from the natural way to hold a phone and the applications that were created that supported vertical shooting. Vertical video drives me crazy but unfortunately unless it's disabled on a phone it's not going away.

Disney hasn't said anything yet, so all we have is his story. And as others have pointed out, he seemed pretty sincere. IF he's telling the truth, Disney is totally in the wrong. Multiple others have said the same thing, the key word being IF. If there's more to the story, we don't know, and won't know until Disney comments on it. So, we're going with him on this one, until more details are released.

That's why I always watch youtube laying down on my side. Always looks just fine to me.

 

[Bairstow]

So it seems pretty clear that
A) Disney overreacted
OR
B) Swindler's not telling the whole story.

It makes me wonder, though- Has anyone built a meth lab before in a Disney resort hotel room?
If so, was it Alligator Bayou?

I bet it was Alligator Bayou.

Personally I doubt you will hear any comments from Disney on this matter.

 

[lunchbox1175]

I think its sad that anyone took the statement of building a meth lab in his room seriously enough to warrant calling the Police. That is a massive over reaction. Disney has access to every room, if they thought it was remotely serious, then send Disney Security to the room, look inside, and when you don't see beakers and burners in the room, "Let it GO!". If you do find something suspicious, then call the police.

I would put money on this ban being reversed. And LOTS of freebies thrown at this family. Disney would rather squash this before lawyers get involved.

From firsthand experience, this tends to be Disney's modus operandi. Their preferred mea culpa.

Throw enough money at it so it doesn't get expensive.

I didn't blindly defend the guy....I even said there has to be something we don't know about for Disney to react this way.

 

[WhatJaneSays]

If this is the same Swindler I think it is there is much more to this story than stated.

 

[PhotoDave219]

The guy is going to YouTube to plead his case as well.

He posted vertical video? Because of that, I'm reluctantly forced to side with Disney on this.

Agree....what's up with that?

I still maintain the opinion that cell phones should emit an ever increasing electric shock to the user when videotaping with the phone held vertically.

 

[Disneyhead'71]

Vertical video is the hip and trendy internet age way of doing it.

Ain't nobody got time for all that fancy, hold you phone weird, kind of....
