Spirited News & Observations II -- NGE/Baxter

[Lee]

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

Or....not.

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

Seriously? C'mon....

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

Just gonna quote that to provide humor to a select few.

Or it just might be that he has a life beyond posting here. Just a thought....

We have a winner!

Obviously you were not invited to the meetings.

Tell him to come on here and at least express disdain for Jeff Loria... he can't like the guy as a Marlins fan.

Youre a friend of Bill W?

No real baseball fan likes lil Jeffy Loria. The guy has been awful, fleecing both the community as a whole for that new stadium as well as swindling the fanbase.

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.

Off topic rant of mine, but this touched on a private beef.

I hate that people "game" the systems at Disney. This just encourages Disney to lock down on programs they feel they can lock down on, and really ruins the experience for more honest guests.

If the OP wants the "dark side of disney", it's not cheating the parking system, it's swimming out to Discovery Island.

Have at it.

Are you referring to the almost three or four months when you couldnt get past the security hosts at Poly or Contemporary without a reservation and a note from god himself because of people scamming the parking?

Not specifically, thought that would be a great example.

My specific thought process actually was pool hopping between resorts.

I just know how bureaucratic management (which Disney is) thinks, and how some people cheating the system will ruin it for everyone else.

"Getting one over" on the Mouse eventually means a touch less Magic for everyone else. It really annoys me.

I agree. Goes hand in hand with the GAC abuses (thats a thread I'm not touching) and every other little change out there that Disney does that makes the honest guests jump through even more hoops because there's always someone out there trying to get one over on them.

Pool hopping is a good example. All the new pools these days have gates on them to keep out guests whom are not staying at that resort. Grand Fla is a good example.

Yeap, I saw that at AoA...key card access...

I hope the all mighty spirit isn't having any family or work problems

Probably just got some bad seafood.

Well, he seems to work in television and has alluded to working baseball games and baseball season has started.....

 

[jt04]

Youre a friend of Bill W?

Not sure who Bill W is. Have always wondered though. You forgot the apostrophe. I reported your error to the proper mods.

 

[jt04]

He has alluded to all manner of things. I think he is a complete fabrication. Jokes on us.

My theory is that he is a well read but over-indulged only child living off a trust fun and living in his aunt's basement while nurturing a severe case of Disney Entitlement Syndrome (DES).

 

[the.dreamfinder]

swindling the fanbase.

Hmmmmm.... That sounds familiar, but who's done that before...

Oh, Disney! Nah, never!

Have you ever considered getting a diagnosis for DDS (Disney Delusional Syndrome)? As far as @WDW1974 is concerned, I can only judge the truthfulness of his statements based on the things I know about and when they align with something I know about, they are spot on....I have been going to WDW since I was a 3 year old in 1972 and grew up a local, so when he references things from the 70's or 80's or 90's with respect to the condition of the parks they coincide with my memory (I, on occasion, will have a different opinion but that's fine). I have no judgement to render on the truthfulness of his comments about Disney management or his personal life....However, if you accuse someone of being less than honest, it is an accusation that requires specificity to avoid being slander.

You can't slander an anonymous "spirit". Poor effort sir. And you, and a few others, are way too serious.

I have my theories about the spirit. Consider this. If he really was such a pain to Disney (and relatives of Disney employees presumably) AND he is well known in those circles (as he says he is) why do these same people protect him?

I suspect he may be social media here to counter 'unregulated optimism' about WDW's future plans. Just one of my several theories. I eliminate them as they are disproven. Down to about three.

I'm really not that serious about it...and I get a big kick out of your theories. I just haven't seen one yet that seems reasonable to me...on occasion, you have a really good post. You have a knack for thinking of a simple solution to an entertainment issue in one of the parks...I just don't get all the theorizing about things. But, I'd be lying if I said it doesn't entertain me.

Some people (not me) thought he was Michael Eisner. My theories always contain a bit of truth or they can't become a theory. Just can't imagine Eisner posting on a Disney forum.
