News Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge - Historical Construction/Impressions

This is the future. Interactive Theatre is what people want. The Stanley Film Festival was a huge success and is continuing to evolve and grow.

What happens if you get randomly selected as a prisoner in the Death Star Cell Block wing of the hotel? You're interrogated and mind-probed, watch your home town get vaporized, confined to quarters and sentenced to death. A bellhop lets you out of your cell so you can return home, but first you have to jump into a wet dumpster and magically not get dirty.

The same thing that happens at Knott's Berry Farm's Ghost Town Alive if you don't want to participate, you simply keep walking.

I'll sit back and wait for the first story about a dad who has finally made it back to the hotel. After a LONG day of walking in near 100 degree heat, being shoulder to shoulder with thousands of people all trying to get out of the park at once after the fireworks were through. He's has three screaming children who have been crying about the lines and heat and being hungry all day. A teenage daughter who would rather die than be at Disneyland with him (and she's told him three times already just this day alone), a cranky wife who keeps giving him dirty looks and while she hasn't come out and said it, he KNOWS she blames him for the heat, lines, crowds, etc. When he FINALLY gets back to the hotel, and a guy dressed up as a Stormtrooper comes over to him in the hotel, and tries to get him to engage in a storyline, we can all sit by with popcorn and watch the violence unfold.

Most actors are taught to read people and interactions begin with a simple invitation type question. Example: You wouldn't run up to someone and say "We've lost a droid. Come, help me find it!." You would approach them from a visible distance, see how they react to your approach, and, if all seems a go, you say "We've lost a droid. Did you see him pass this way?" Based upon their response, you can move along if they don't seem to wish to engage or you can further the conversation and eventually result in a task needing to be completed.

That dad bears an uncanny resemblance to my sister.

LMAO!

You say, "You're a little short to be a bellhop."

Yeah... 2 days you stay in the hotel and the SWL at night. You're not going out the parks in the 2 day window.

Vader chokes you at check in.
"Where are those vacation plans?"
"We have no plans! We rented a car at the Orlando airport!"
"If you have no plans, why do you have the FastPass App on your iPhone?" (crushes throat)

 

[PB Watermelon]

"You will upgrade my single-day pass to a Park Hopper for free."
"Ho Ho Ho ho. Doh wonky a flooble durp grooble Jedi Mind Trick!"

 

[Phroobar]

"These aren't the fast passes you are looking for. You can go wait in the standby line. Move along. Move along."

Apparently. His blog went dead a month ago, just after that zoomed in shot of a poster visible from the sidewalk on Disneyland Drive.

If you are that worried about your super secret theme park plans (which everyone already knows about and can see being built), don't post them on a bulletin board visible from the sidewalk.

Looks that way doesn't it. Sad, as he had the best photos in this little renegade business of ours. Don't know what is happening, but my fear is Disney is trying to make him homeless, because that's how they roll.

You don't think that's a tad bit presumptuous? I don't see why Disney would care anyway, it didn't show much other than what we've seen on Micechat for the last year and a half.

Seems like a cease and desist would be enough. I'd be shocked if they forced him to shut down his blog.

Disney could have forced him to quit posting pics by way of a court order or injunction, but word of that would have gotten out. I suppose Disney could have threatened all sorts of legal action and he got scared and is laying low for a while.

 

[Curious Constance]

Quit posting all pics? Even normal ones?

 

[disneyC97]

That would be terrible...really like his site.

I wouldn't be shocked at all. Based on what they did to Greg Brown, it's entirely in character. Greg was a huge pre-internet Disney geek back in the '70s. Dave Smith said that he and two others were the top Disney freaks he'd ever seen. Greg even did some paid temp work for Dave at the Disney Archives.

Greg ended up like the guy at Skywalker Ranch who took home a sound library in digital form. He wasn't trying to steal IP, he was a fanboy with no good sense. They destroyed him. Both of these guys did something stupid and the respective corporate IP holders DESTROYED them. These were small fish. They weren't IP pirates peddling millions of dollars of bootleg videos (cough...China...cough).

Last I heard several years ago, Greg was living on welfare with a heart condition. Disney took all his savings and he was near homeless.

Disney will NEVER stop with a cease and desist. You don't F*** with the mouse. We all love Disney, but never forget they are a corporation--no heart, no soul.

What legal grounds would The Walt Disney Company have in 2017 to hang an online blogger out to dry for posting a blurry photo of a construction site map? If the company is truly that ruthless and petty then I need to rethink my fanatism.

Disney could (potentially) get him to not post 'sensitive' photos via a court order. Disney could couch it as he published proprietary info about their new attractions and continued publication of that kind of stuff could damage Disney. I kind of doubt that happened as court filings are public information and stuff about Disney and legal action always spills out. The more likely answers are (1) Disney paid him off to cease publication or (2) Disney intimidated him into not publishing by threat of legal action. Fighting in court is spendy and a deep pocket can often scare people into not fighting.
