He got out maneuvered a few pages back and I think he needs some time to heal and strategize a proper recovery.

Including behind the scenes coordination with his team. They always appear first to begin the prep work as a prelude to a spirited materialization.

I'm pretty sure there is no "team", just a chunk o' people who agree with him about the general direction of the Florida resort. He does apparently know @Lee, but based on their personalities I can't imagine they actually coordinate. I think @WDW1974, thinks fast, types fast, and sometimes things work out better than others. I know/remember what you guys are referring to earlier in the thread and am curious myself to see when or how it is addressed.

Then he has several aliases' because I have witnessed a certain style of posting before he appears. I do give him credit for the effort he puts into his critiques.

Imagine what he could accomplish he ever decided to build his own entertainment empire. There's a thought.

Plus, his posts are always so entertaining. He has a great command of the vocabulary. He has inspired me to improve my own vocabulary so I have been trying to work new words into my writing. His wonderfulness is admired and appreciated by all who read his magnanimous posts. I think he should start a blog in the social media world.

I must have missed what happened. I don't recall seeing anything that would warrant healing or a recovery. What page are we talking about?

Love him or hate him the guy is right about 1 thing for sure, some people around here are obsessed with him;)

I believe they are referring to this (since @jt04) said that it made his day -
http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/...ns-ii-nge-baxter.859440/page-194#post-5424065
and the conversation that ensued after the comment. Personally, I don't think they are breaking NDAs since they didn't sign any (my guess). However, somewhere in the chain of information is someone who wanted to let the cat out of the bag, but also wanted to remain anonymous. I sign NDAs in my line of work from time to time, but I imagine in the theme park industry it is very different. It was pretty obvious what Uni was building for much of WWoHP's construction, so you can't keep the general idea of a Harry Potter land secret, but you can keep attraction details under wraps, etc. if you so desire. They also may leak info on purpose sometimes. I really don't know. I am intrigued to here the reply. The person who made the post was obviously trying to gain a rhetorical upper hand and several think he/she did. I don't think it is that big of a deal....
I just noted the poster said the morality of their sources breaking an NDA which may very well be the case. Don't know though if their sources have signed one or not...

OK. I did read that. I didn't think anything of it at the time. It's not like insider trading or something. Nobody profits from it and I (we) enjoy the benefits so what's the harm really? Then again I didn't think the embellishing of your LinkedIn profile was a big deal either. I'm thinking that maybe I'm just an immoral person:)

Come to the dark side, refill your mug from 1986 or, better yet, put a piece of duct tape over your Dunkin' Donuts coffee mug and write "Eternal Refill Disney World Mug" on it. Pool hop...ride around on an ecv even though you're a week removed from a second place finish in the Boston marathon. True story: When I was in the 10th grade, I had an old, one day ticket that had the date stamped on it. It was in a jeans pocket for a long time and after multiple washings I found it. The ticket was still recognizable (though beat all to hell), but the date had been washed off. I used that ticket to gain entry into EPCOT. I doubt you need anymore proof of my Disney dark side bona fides.

One time when I was staying off property I went to the Polynesian and told them I was eating at the Kona Cafe to beat the $15 parking fee. I too have dabbled in the Disney dark side;).

I pull the local at the Poly all the time. It is a convenient way to enter MK. I've also tried swimming across Bay Lake, but everyone stares at you when you strip off the wet suit and the bag checkers won't let you just toss it under one of their little tables.

So that's why it's so hard to park to go to the bar anymore. All I wanted to backscratchers the bar and they turned me away because I don't have a reservation because of people like you. Thanks.
