The Spirited Seventh Heaven ...

Yes. And I am not about to put anything damaging to any individual out here unless the mainstream media does first.

But you knew that too.

Since when are we talking about individuals? I want to know about Disney as a structure and organization. Are background checks not being performed? Are red flags on background checks being ignored? Are complaints regarding inappropriate conduct, specifically of a sexual nature, being ignored? And most importantly, why is this occurring? Is the hiring staff full of pedophiles seeking to grant access to others? Do the rewards of hiring [x] number of people outweigh the risks of hiring these people? Are For those arrested so far this is the first known offense, and for some it may well be the first actual offense.

As for Imagineers and fanbois, which I do see where that involves individuals, that is a different type of mess, and one where legally and socially Disney may not have any options. Without a victim speaking out or witnesses willing to testify there is not enough for Disney to terminate an employee.

Pretzels are surprisingly easy to make at home, give it a whirl and never buy them there again

I'm not bringing in oven with me to frontierland's! That's why they have food carts.

Bake it on your way out the door, or in that super hot car of yours!

There's a joke in Naked Gun that plays into the new theme of this thread in a comedicly perfect way.

Another thing that's bothering me.

How in the heck can epcot be such a dump.

I know this is discussed all the time here but it needs a lot more than a frozen overlay on a molding boat ride to breath anything that resembles life into it.

My 8 year old calls it ep-rot.

It's great to hear all this uni chat here.

Uni this uni that.

Does tdo have no shame at all?

There is a point when you tired of getting your butt kicked and decide to do something about it.

If I was Iger I would be embarrassed to show my face till that mess is fixed but oh wait he is executive of the year!

What a freaking joke.

"nice beaver"?

No.....sorry, I think it's from 2 1/2 actually.

Wow Lee! If you say there's something there, everyone should listen. First Potter and now potentially this? I can only imagine the trekkies who would spend their last nickel on merchandise alone. Think Star Wars weekend is big for DHS? Use Loews on-site convention space and have a "fantasicon" week highlighting the different properties including Potter and this and you've got something.

Easy, now...don't get too excited.
Remember what I said...

You know the saying, "Where there's smoke, there's fire."

There is smoke to this, and to some extent....fire.

This goes back a year or so, as a blue-sky sort of thing.

Absolutely.
I haven't been able to confirm anything beyond some old blue-sky conceptualizing.

Quite possible. (That it could be a planted rumor.)

Until I get some solid information, or better yet documentation....I'm not convinced there is anything to it.

Honestly, it's averaging 140° in my car. I can't imagine how hot the dashboard is actually getting. Higher than my thermometer read I believe…

Please, not the Epcot rant again

Can you give us an idea what the blue sky plans were or at least if they were different than just a retread of Star Tours?

I remember you mentioning that. It would easily do some baking.

True story - when DH and I were first dating, his mother tried to give us a frozen pizza to wrap in foil and cook on the car's manifold as we drove so we wouldn't have to waste money at a restaurant. I married him anyway.

No… That's actually slightly on-topic.

The good 50 or hundred pages ago we were discussing this… Which is Saturday or Sunday at this point. Anyways… i'm still continuing to take the stance that while yes, there are problems with Epcot, it is not the part in the most need of help.

The award for Disney park with the most need for helping North America goes to Disney's Hollywood Studios. I'm beginning to think there's more vacant space in that park then there is used space.

The previous 10 years of neglect have-nots help one earthly bit.

At least Epcot still has some fantastic attractions in future world as well as the cultural education goes on in the world showcase.

So to sum up? Yes I agree with you but we're talking triage here. There are worse patients here to be dealt with.

No, I didn't get a description. I was just made aware that Uni was interested in the IP and had made inquiries/presentations in an attempt to secure the rights.

That was about a year ago. Last I've heard of it until today's rumors.

Did you cut it with scissors, by chance? My husband and one of his friends did this once years ago when they couldn't find a pizza cutter. They *might* have been a little drunk.

Thanks anyway. Really appreciate the info from insiders.

No, we didn't take it with us. She meant well - she grew up during the Depression so she knew how to pinch a penny. We still laugh about it now whenever we cook a frozen pizza.

So..... tonight's Disney owned ESPY's took a very odd, dark and uncomfortable turn tonight.

Its all about the Side Pieces. (NSFW = Not Suitable For Wives)
