New Imagination Park Disney Stores to use tech from the parks!

[KevinYee]

Obviously, everything these days is a "wait and see" (the proof is always in the pudding, not the early info).

But by and large, I am a fan of returning Show to the stores. It's absolutely true that the merch must be:

1. unique
2. high-quality
3. affordable
4. constantly new/rotating

for the store to be long-term success, but I take it as a positive sign that the Show elements are not forgotten this time around.

I imagine he was referring to the overall pompus attitude. The fact that it appears you take the time to write and re-write your posts. I would liken your posting style to the man in the bar at the begining of goodwill hunting. You know the one, the guy who likes apples. :lol:

Rampant pomposity!

Alas, only a marginal affectation on my part. Meaning I'm only slightly less insufferable in person. But nonetheless critical when taking on the role of foil, lest I be casually dismissed as an atavistic rube.

Man for the, not of the, people and all that rot. I think I just paraphrased "Gladiator". Jesus.

You beat me to it he or she thinks that because they use big SAT words that they are better than everyone.

You're projecting.

I lay no claim to being better than you or anyone else here ('74 aside).

It is the manner and tone in which you present your post.

That's for 74 and his adoring fans.

All apologies if I've offended; unless I intended to (see above). I've always rather enjoyed your sig quote.

Are you saying that because somebody transmits their thoughts intelligently on the Internet, logically speaking, they must think they're better than everyone else? That's a rotten attitude.

No read thewhole thread! I said it was the tone they presented there post in.

That's not what you said, and I have read the whole thread. You're kidding yourself if you think ChrisM is the elitist here. I can barely stomach '74's condescending attitude toward "fanbois" in his posts.

Looks like it is what I said to me :shrug:

I didn't see your next post. Sorry. But I stand by my other statements in that post.

I may agree with you but I stand by what I said about Chris's tone.

No worries. I don't like people getting criticized for "being smart". It's just a pet peeve of mine.

lol I like smart people!

 

[EPCOT Explorer]

I feel special all of the time.

To what in particular do you take exception? Tone, content, grammar, word choice or the whole thing?

I take exception that your entire posting history is personal attacks.

Pembroke lakes is always a pig pen. I have seen dirty diapers left on shelves and spilled Starbucks on the floor. Displays all over the place. Just a dump.

As to WDCC, FYI, the company that now produces the line is liquidating much of its inventory at TJ Maxx stores across the USA.

I only saw one piece at the Sawgrass store, a broken tiki beach shack from Lilo and Stitch for $19.99 ... but friends around the country have reported seeing many all over. I'm not really a collector, but I picked up two PoC figures at WDW Prop Control for $20 a piece before Christmas.

My mom and I picked up a Clarabelle cow from the Mickey Mouse Club collection for $29.99 and and it's a small world English boy for $14.99... Scary!!! Its such a shame to see these statues on shelves, out of boxes, where children and other people are handling them like they are tennis balls or something... I almost freaked when I saw a little girl "strum" the harp of the Harp statue from the Mickey and the Beanstalk collection... She ended up breaking the statue.

Oy, can we get back on-topic, fellas? There's some ladies in the room, and we don't want to make a bad impression, do we?

What were we talking about again :goodnevil

I can't believe you missed the posts expressing my unsuppressed hatred for the Dining Plan. Forgettable, I admit.

Would your angst be assuaged if I added my (admittedly) worthless opinion in a few other threads? Not all of us can average 47 posts per day, although it certainly seems like I'm trying my damnedest today.

In truth, I had no intention of stirring up a hornet's nest in this thread. Not my finest work, obviously. I'll skulk back into the shadows and bide my time for the next session of 74 whack-a-mole.

Oh, and if my boorishness offended you deeply enough, I'll be flying into Ft. Lauderdale tomorrow. Feel free to accost and rain blows down upon me.
