Did Disney actually say this was not the last night of operation?
No, they did it through little technicalities, like "be the first to be the last!" instead of just outright saying it. They had to mislead people to actually get them to show up at this event.
So I disagree. The average Star Wars fan here for Celebration V probably doesn't follow Disney religiously like we do.
:lol: Well said.

I have a way and it would be awesome
Sorry for the thread drift but really, is there a story here? And nobody will ever convince me miceage is not envious of the overwhelming superiority of WDW. It doesn't matter who was or is in charge the envy will still be there.

I can just see the press release now....
After all of the controversy caused by Walt Disney World's Star Wars themed special event "The Last Tour to Endor" not actually being the final day of the Star Tours attraction operation Disney has changed the name of some of their after hours special events.
Mickey's not so Scary Halloween Party will now be called "Mickey's come to Magic Kingdom in a costume and get free candy party" and Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party will be retitled "Mickey's eating cookies and drinking hot chocolate in the fake snow party" Due to the fact that the majority of these events do not actually occur on the actual holidays they are meant to represent the Walt Disney Company decided to rework the titles to avoid any confusion.

Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party could also be renamed "Mickey's Non Denominational Holiday Themed Party".

Not all religious groups have a holiday during these times.
Mickey's Non Denominational Winter Themed Party is more like it.

This is true. Also, at least half of the MVMCP dates are actually in the fall, not winter. Can't say winter because its misleading.

Ok, ok, it'll be called "E-Ride Night- Now featuring pretty lights!!"

Not all of the attractions open are E-tickets. Also "pretty" is subjective.
They shouldn't make promise they may not be able to fulfill.

Correct. I have no server access whatsoever. I send an email with a .doc attachment (well, a zip file - jpgs are in there too).

Hi. I'm new here. I've been reading Al Lutz and Kevin Lee for many years. First, Kevin Lee is a bit of a clown. He likes to wax on with his opinions which he takes very seriously. His insights, even when marginally interesting, are overwhelmed by his self importance. I find him maddening to read. That said, Al Lutz, while equally arrogant, has something to back it up with. He has broken many stories at Disneyland and is a very influential voice on the subject in Southern California. That said, he is very critical of WDW usually by way of comparison to Disneyland. Sometimes he's right, often he's petty and wrong. One thing about Al, he gets A LOT of inside info.

One problem I had was the employees at DHS WERE telling people that it was last day and event people were the last ever. In the same breath they were trying to sell tickets.

Thanks for the response Kevin.
I appreciate you taking the time to review the event, even if we have a difference in opinion regarding the quality (I'm sure that will keep you up at night!
). I also appreciate you responding to my question.It was an unfortunate and sensational title. Al Lutz's justification of it only made it that much worse.

But not long enough to know his name isn't Kevin Lee, apparently. :shrug:
All writers think highly of their opinion... Who in the world wouldn't?? Why would they write?? Even people that write on message boards (like all of us, you included) think our opinion matters.
I COMPLETELY don't understand your rationale. I can show you MANY instances where Kevin praises what should be praised, and is critical of what he should be critical about.
Might it be that his opinion differs from yours, and therefore you "find him maddening to read"?
EDIT TO ADD: I don't mean to come across so hard on you when you just joined, but when your first post is calling someone a "clown" and completely bashing with what I believe is little in support of those ideas (he worked at Disney for MANY years... Have you?) I couldn't help it.

One letter off, he doesn't know em?
Some would argue that great reporting of the news meant reporting it without interjecting any personal opinion. This day in age that doesn't exist, but it should. Maybe then people would actually be able to decide for themselves rather than being spoonfed what to think.
This is basically saying you agree with what he posts. That's great for you. That doesn't make someone's opinions wrong though.
His opinion is similar to yours so you like him, simple.
Working for Disney for many years doesn't mean you're an expert at anything Disney. Ask bus drivers. :ROFLOL:

I think he clearly states when something is his opinion, and doesn't try to hide that fact.
Do I agree with what he posts? Usually. But regardless, even if I didn't agree with him I wouldn't call him a clown. I never agree with JT, but you've never seen me call him a clown, and whatever else... Because just like you said, opinion is just that.
Working for Disney for many years doesn't make one an expert, but it means you have an insight into the company that 90% of the people here don't have, and it also means you can see things from a perspective that the majority of others can't see it from.
