Spirited News, Observations & Thoughts IV

[Nubs70]

My wife wants to come over and play with and brush them all. We have a Newf, that's too much hair by itself.

These are the dogs that we have had over the lifespan of the Dyson. We did not have all four dogs at the same time but at least two at all times. The spring coat blow is an amazing thing, it looks like a multicolored sheep blew up in the house.

That seems to have been the case since Al stopped writing. A lot of Blue Sky talk.

A little-known fact: some of the updates you associate with Al were actually written by "the team" long before the news went public that Al had retired.

Wow. I was actually thinking about sea world and their latest addition... Anyone know how that went over, numbers wise? Was it considered a success? Did attendance go up?

I'm not familiar with Orlando area...how far is sea world from wdw?

Two exits up, maybe 10 - 20 minutes, depending where in WDW you are.

I haven't heard any leaked figures, but critical reaction to the ride has been horrible. The fact they have cut 1-day weekday passes down to $50 (almost a 50% cut) suggests it wasn't the game-changer they promised.

Thus the late payment of bills referred to in prior posts. This is a symptom of troubled cash flow.

...or a symptom of US government!

Not if you have a printing press and use it to print money and then buy park tickets with the new money.

Maybe you could convince @TP2000 - he has had a hard time giving up the fact that Miceage articles aren't Al anymore

But Disney did make a big announcement today, well they submitted a filing with the SEC, that they will no longer offer stock certificates in paper form....

That's odd considering that Disney is the largest seller of single shares of stock because people want to get it framed.

It's blatantly obvious Al is no longer writing the columns. At least it is for me.

Flynni.......your always trying to pick a fight. You would look really good in purple and black......would fit right in!

It's not odd at all - the single share is a huge PITA for the company.

I know most people want to read my thoughts, but since I am not getting what I want perhaps I should extort instead of post?

What do I tell my friends and colleagues from around the globe about what an insane, out of control, effed up nation we have become when they ask?

Or should I just tell them that there are now signs at the Poly that say 'Disney's Polynesian Village Resort' and head to the Wal-mart?

Tell them we have become a much larger Greece.

(please note this not directed at you, but at Disney)

Yeah... companies that rely on a large fan base want to gloss over the little things that people appreciate. So sorry, if your fans want to give you money for a piece of paper. Stop whining.

Didn't I just read that they are no longer selling printed stock? Let me see if I can find a link or if I've truly lost my mind

Nope, still have some mind left, http://abcnews.go.com/Business/t/st...and-20522921?ref=http://www.disneyreport.com/

And the Skyway once upon a time. Wonder what the outcry would be for chopping the monorail loops out?

And the Rocket Jets! And also motorboats.

Within eyesight you could see from bottom to top submarines, surface ships, cars, bobsleds, peoplemovers, monorails, skyway buckets, and spaceships. Tomorrowland on the move!

As Walt Said, 'keep them moving', and not just moving, but in every kind of transport imaginable. Sadly, like DL, the MK too has lost the exhilarating ability to ride transport from undersea to outer space, which so grappled my imagination when I was young.

 

[MikeAGeorge]

Wow! Thank you for forcefully adding another vid to my ridiculous eclectic YouTube playlist....

 

[The Empress Lilly]

Lilly, you are a beaut. Sorta like a hoot, but with an air of continental elitism at play. Just bless your heart.

Oh, and nowhere I write is ever obscure. Ever.

Just an air of? Mais...mon chéri, I AM a continental elitist.

I also look down on all of you just because.

 

[The Empress Lilly]

True. But unlike DCA and, especially, DSP, HKDL was designed by a few of the oldguard masters who put in a foundation ... a template for easy growth that would make sense. That's why the park is already amazing and getting better all the time. You should go.

No thanks, I'd rather divide my time between the three worst run Disney parks on the planet.

A little-known fact: some of the updates and blogs you associate with Kevin Yee are actually written by "the team" consisting of yours truly, Flynn, Lazyboy, and Jt04. Kevin has not written about Disney since he found a paying day job. (= at the comix bookstore)
