some people still INSIST in using usenet...

what if he brings those big tropical leafs and follows you all the time.. giving you shadow emperor style.

I'm an emperor with a receptionist. This rules

I am getting a little concerned now. That statement sounds a little like Iger.

'would suffice' - take a look at a real race and understand the magnitude of what we are talking about here.

Hence why I was asking. I'm still curious what the race looks like at the front of the pack though, the middle will always be a human swarm.

I think the real takeaway is don't run a Disney race with serious intent of "racing", because you can't. With those expectations in check I'm sure an enjoyable time could be made of it.

Which is a shame, among other things, because car masters is an event I'd actually like to see coverage on. I can relate to the interest in seeing a rare or high performance 'supercar', as opposed to people (strangely) obsessed over a young female CM dressed up as Anna or Elsa.

It wasn't just cars, either. Both Q&As I caught gave a great background on how Pixar operates and how Cars and Radiator Springs were created. Yeah, heavily sanitized I'm sure, but that's alright when you get interesting anecdotes.

I'm going to lower park admission, raise cast member salaries, reinvesting the parks. And convince Wall Street that we are a long-term solid investment for the next 10 or 15 years.

And start a premium tequila plan for us to sell in our restaurants and resorts.

And the adventurers club will remain dead.

Well, so much for my cameo at Game 6 of the Finals on Tuesday. I suppose I could head down and see if Bongos has shuttered there yet ...

Better team won. Still, four straight Finals appearances and two titles is something ANY team would take.

I'm just happy that the Spurs were the team to dethrone the Heat. Two very classy organizations with some great folks both on the court and behind the scenes. Yes, I do know folks with them too!

Eight championships between the two says a lot. Ah ... now what to do Tuesday?

OK. That sounds better Emperor.

Can't help you for Tuesday. I don't think any DCL sails on Tuesday.

OK, so much for being nice. Well, not really, but what does it say when you say something nice about someone from another fan site (Andy Castro) and he decides to take to the Twit Feed and attack?

Hey, Andy, I said you had OCD, not reading comprehension issues. And the OCD part was based on a joke from 2012 where you took approximately 1,298 pics of your Starbucks beverage. We are all OCD to some extent, relax dude.

What I would have taken from my post (oh, and thanks yet again for proving that no one reads this site's boards and a damn word I write!) was the part advising folks to go to your site to check out your GREAT reports from KBF. What I would care about is the fact I have often praised your wonderful photography skills even in posts here.

Seriously, what is with some folks? Why are you so damn touchy? Especially since you seem to suggest my opinions aren't important anyway.

And this is the whole issue I have with Social Media today. Andy can take shots at me in the Twitverse in public about my schtick and whether it is funny, and all these passive aggressive twits join in. Sean used to have no issues with me (used to post here as Hokie Skipper before he joined in a mutiny years ago and left), but now he is a podcaster (who also tweets approximately once every 73 seconds while working for a defense contractor, remember what I have said about all those post 9/11 jobs being great?) and wants attention for his online venture. Then, there's good old dead Card Walker (who seems to appear when another member of that clique disappears from Twitter, I am sure that is mere coincidence just like when Clark Kent vanishes and the man in tights and a cape appears ...yep) who seems to have some issue with me. ... None of these folks want to actually chat with me or you or us. But they sure love taking shots EVEN WHEN YOU PRAISE THEM!

It's so sophomoric ...

You obviously had your feelings hurt, Andy. So, I'll not call you OCD anymore. I'll refer to you as Andy 'The Kind and Gentler Little Bro of Fidel and Raul' Castro ... is that OK?

But again, thanks for reading. I appreciate it. I bet MAGICal Steve appreciates it even more.

 

[WDW1974]

That's my thought on the matter.

I'm not well-versed on the Disney racing scene either so I shouldn't say too much, but it doesn't seem like a big issue. If you're a serious runner, than isn't it your personal time that matters and not a bigger or exclusive medal? And for the people doing it for "fun," isn't the participation and the attempt at finishing enough?

No offense, but I think that's the problem. A lot of folks who don't know much (or anything) about running and Disney's races and wants to apply theme park rules to a serious thing. ... I don't understand why folks can't understand what runners/racers are telling them, except they want their opinion to win the Internet for the day.

 

[WDW1974]

It would seem logical when taking into account all that has happened in the Orlando parks in recent years that it would be the UNI third gate, so I will guess the mythical WDW 5th gate! Why else would you bring it up as a game @WDW1974?!

Not brought up as a game really, Doug. Just wanted to drop a factoid on the folks paying attention.

Some are touchy. Some are feely. Some are both.

According to this article, Indiana Jones is closing at the end of the year as well http://popwrapped.com/2014/06/14/br...acular-confirmed-to-close-at-the-end-of-2014/

It won't be here in five years. But it isn't going anywhere as of now. Someone looking for attention. And really ... how many Disney sites are there?

 

[PhotoDave219]

Oh we are paying attention.

I'm just sick of having to shoot down these Indy/Star Wars rumors. As are you and Lee and Martin and everyone else....

 

[WDW1974]

Thanks, I'll check them out tomorrow (it's currently 1:07am as I type this). I remember briefly looking into it when Cars Land was completed to see what else we could do while we were at Disneyland and started to have another look over the weekend.

We don't know what else we will be doing on the trip - the only thing that we are sure of is Anaheim for Disneyland, and with Knotts only being 10-15mins away, it would make sense to visit it while we are there.

If you leave a comment on Micechat be sure to tell Andy that WDW1974 sent you!

 

[WDW1974]

Does a water park count as a third gate?

Nope!

 

[cheezbat]

When @PhotoDave219 is CEO of disney can I be in charge of landscaping?

You want trees, you'll get trees. Lots of them. And plenty of flowers and ornamental shrubs and green everywhere.

And benches!

Can you bring back fountains and other water features too?

And while we're at it, id like to be in charge of Waterpark operations/expansion.

I'd make Typhoon and Blizzard two of the biggest AND best... (They're greatly themed but its been over NINE YEARS since anything has been added to either park.)

 

[WDW1974]

Perhaps this is why they kept VotLM and BatB right where they are. My guess is, if true, they will add more Fantasmic shows and possibly LMA.

LMA is on the way out too. It is just a question of when, not if. ... Remember when you used that line repeatedly for years on end about TSFKaDD? Eventually, you have to be right. Well, this will end much quicker.

 

[WDW1974]

Def not leaning forward and was on the far right. It was really cool but just didn't enjoy being flipped screen to screen and the screen being on before being placed in it. Could be it was just out of sync but I didn't ride it again due to my motion sickness.

I had issues with FJ last spring, but then they changed the projectors and everything was crystal clear and nothing screwed with my equilibrium ... it was getting bad for me before. But you could have just hit it on a bad day or you might have much worse motion sickness than I do.

While I find it disgusting that "your enemies" seems to be following you every single step you make and stalking you on everything. I would have suggested you to be a better man and just dont take more jabs at him.
Lets be proactive, not reactive (The guy's behavior already says much about him.. specially his twitter bursts), so not need to add fuel to the fire.
