Real or fake...? Real I hope.

how about that?

Hang onto that e-mail. 2012 will be here before you know it.

 

[MousDad]

Now that is a highly unusual sequence of events.

Coupla things that make it iffy...

A) The email does not use correct corporate naming structure. It should be "Disney's Animal Kingdom Park" (with an (R) mark beside it).

B) "Other then" should be "other than"

C) There's no way in hell that Imagineering would "confirm" that they were building a new land like that. There would be rumors, etc, but any "confirmation" would come through the typical media channels (IE, a well-crafted media release, etc).

Somebody's playing with ya, I think.

 

[ToTBellHop]

Very surprising that they have a form email with THAT info...I've never really been BSed by resort communications (usually they provide LESS info than I would like--never heard of them revealing anything they weren't told to reveal). If this is a real email, it's very exciting.

 

[WDWmazprty]

Yeah, something may be in the works, but that email is kinda iffy like everyone said. But hey, here's to hoping!:shrug::animwink:

 

[CaesarBoxFan]

I call shenanigans on this one.

There's no way that a form email would say that, and then have spelling mistakes. Unless Disney hires computer illiterate people to respond to emails.

I just emailed disneyworld.com with the same general question, let's see what I get back.

 

[tigsmom]

Eh, I'll believe it when I see it.

Nope, not April 1st...

Something smells fishy!

Right...BUT if coulda been written by some random CM and not a form letter. I hope that's it. It would be nice to get some info on the ongoings of WDI.

 

[ms7479a]

Disney usually likes to keep things pretty close to the vest, which is why this email is a bit odd. I would like to believe it is true, but I am skeptical. Thanks for sharing anyways.

That is the first thing I noticed..I think it is fake..


While I do enjoy all these joke threads and I think they are funny..I do think that if they keep being posted that people who do not realize that they are jokes or satire or whatever will keep being confused.

While there are many "seasoned" posters here who know when others are joking around or trying to make light of different threads that are constantly putting Disney down there are many new posters who are coming here for true information and real honest reviews and are being mislead by all these "jokes"

That is just my opinion though..:shrug:

 

[MousDad]

Do you think Ronda could find out the location of the underground alien bases in New Mexico?

 

[rainfully]

I can't find anyone named Ronda Kendall in any CM directories. :shrug:

 

[Walt_Disney]

I can assure all of you with 100% confidence that this not fake. I was just as shocked as all of you are while reading this email. I also did notice the grammar and spelling mistakes and thought it was odd they would have someone sending out emails who can't write properly.

Good catch jackie... :wave:

*nothing to see here... move along*

 

[imagineer boy]

I'll bet that this new "land" might be nothing more than a stroller parking area, character meetn'greet, or DVC cart.

 

[DMC-12]

I would like to see the e-mail header information.. IP address... routing... etc... everything sans your full e-mail addy of course. :wave:
