Spirited News, Observations & Thoughts IV

I don't know, but I will post on the HelloKittyMagic.com forums and ask their insiders -- two guys known as "HK1974" and "Li."
Oh, to my pal Ricky Brigante (one of the few bloggers with the money to afford meals at the CG) who tweeted that his not getting an invite shows that bloggers are not being selected, I'd suggest someone at Disney has an issue with him.
I believe he also pointed out that 17 percent of the folks at the CG DPB meet and eat were bloggers or part of the community and that 'only' nine percent of those people were selected for this Friday's event. Many the same, though.
I will state that NONE of them should be as it should be a one and done for the year policy. Also, it is funny that none of them are ever left out as 'friends' always make sure they get in anyway.

Yeah, that video was hilarious, and painful.
You can tell they tried desperately to edit out all the, um, not thin folks wearing their "good" polo shirts, none of which are tucked into their pants because you just can't do that in Central Florida. Not due to any five-years-too-late Orlando fashion sense, but because they literally can't tuck in their shirts into their pants. But still, the herd showed up in all the background and establishing shots, due to their sheer numbers in attendance at this event.
Judging purely by appearances of the background in this video, very few of these folks will ever go back and drop a few hundred bucks at a table for two at this restaurant. So why were they invited exactly?
You have to feel for the chefs trying their best with an approachable menu for this clientele whose point of reference for "fancy dinner" would be a carb-loaded platter from the Darden Corporation. And my heart goes out to Imagineer Debbie who worked with a very modest budget and only could choose one thing that was truly unique with this restaurant and somehow got custom Mary Blair carpeting past TDO.

No love for Dr. Jenn Fickley-Baker?
I am sure this is exactly how the thoughts went.
Most of these folks think like children (and not the class wiz, either) and they truly believe these people are their pals. You see it in their comments when Disney doesn't invite them. Then they get all passive aggressive and toss out their twitter followers or the like. ... I just want to know how many sites get the traffic of this one?

What's even more funnier about these so called "events" is that they completely tailor themselves to the exact opposite demographic that they dont want! the ones who dont spend money in their parks!
As much as I love Disney, I think its a shame that they think they have stoop so low and give away money for people to like them...they should know better! Are they that desperate? I just don't get it, really...?!?

I'm assuming you saw his back-and-for with your pal Andy Castro?
Do you want to get me started on that one?
You best be careful with your alleged 'humour' ...Mrs. Lee doesn't like it when her two favorite men are dissed online.
EDIT: But she does love Hello Kitty!!! REALLY!!!

Most of those folks don't look like the types to even own a sport coat, let alone a proper suit coat. The polo shirts and short sleeve collared shirts that were ironed in Kissimmee apartments by their own wearers a few hours before this event likely pass for "upscale" dress attire for this Lifestyle Blogger demographic.
I think I have made my feelings about the woman quite apparent.

I hadn't seen that video, and now I'm sorry I have.
Just remember, the sake cocktail? SO good.
Grouper tacos? Bananas.
...Not enough sarcasm smileys to cover it.
I dunno ... Does it appear to you like they are desperate? It sure does to me when a preview night isn't enough with largely insignificant lifestylers, so you invite them back the next night on gift cards?
I was a regular at the California Grill from 1995 (i still recall when it was open for lunch) until 2009. I haven't dined there since ...and between ridiculous price hikes, the DDP losers who have no business in any fine dining locale, and having to dine at either 5:30 or 9:50 because of the six month ressie crowd, I am not sure if I will ever return. And I went on average 3-6 times a year.

No, I must have missed that. Where was that?
And I have nothing against Mr. Castro. My old pal @EPCOT Explorer was supposed to convey said message, but I am starting to think EE wants to distance himself from me so he can be a lifestyler if his top career option falls thru. Feel free to Tweet that.
