61	Spirit of 74 Wed 11/5/2008 12:44p	>> but I am shamelessly trying to up the post count on this thread as I started it on another Disney site and as of last check was in the 200 post neighborhood. So ... let's all try harder. Unless you want to talk politics? << <<It's up to over 300 now. Do I get extra points for posting on both?>> I was VERY plesantly surprised to see you over on that other site, dear minion. I honestly though can't believe that they are headed toward 400 (without me stuffing the ballot box) and here the thread is kinda dead. Frankly, the whole board here is kinda dead. I guess I am not the only one who is pretty bored with WDW's stale offerings. <<I'll be up for a good political debate in about 2 weeks. I think I should be over the shock of the election by then, hopefully.>> I have no desire to discuss anything political at this point. I am happy about last night. A little bit of faith in the American people and our system of electing leaders has been restored to me. My only shock is that it was such a landslide. If I were Prez Elect Obama, I'd be making a call to thank 'W' ... because I don't believe he would have been elected, and certainly not so easily, if people weren't so disgusted by what a state that faux-Texan has put us in.

I haven't seen red around here for a long time. << <<I don't know, but my instinct tells me it involved name calling of a certain poster on here. I just wish they would leave those things up so we all had a chance to ridicule them. >> I dunno, but if it was someone calling me names I'd have liked to have seen it. I'm a big spirit and names don't hurt me. Bad shellfish can take me out, though.
63	Spirit of 74 Wed 11/5/2008 12:57p	<<Spirit, you have to be one of the most depressing people I have ever read posts from. With all that is going on in the country right now, never mind the world, how do you find the time to dedicate to such negative thinking?>> OK, so the country and the planet are a mess (we're in agreement there, right?) and you find my posts about WDW depressing? Sounds like you need to get your priorties straight. <<You must have been that kid who never got the buck rodgers toy ray gun for Christmas.>> My deepest, darkest shame ... outed on a Disney discussion board ... please excuse me while I go eat 56 sleeping pills with a gallon of vodka! <<Disney is going to continue to make quality product, you just have to patient.>> The questions is whether they're going to make quality products at WDW. I have total faith they can and will make quality products elsewhere. And, no, after sitting thru years of largely forgettable crap (from Imagination 2.0 and 3.0 to Mission Space, yeah they tried on that one but failed spectacularly, to SGE to MILF to DinoLand to Aladdin's spinner etc ...) I don't have to be patient. They lost that from me a good 5-6 years ago. Too much crap piled on pooh piled on turd passed off as new and magical experiences. <<You are the one who constantly argues with people when they talk about upcoming project rumors, and then you go ahead and get upset when disney doesn't give you any upcoming project rumors to complain about.>> I don't quite understand the above. Rest assured, if Disney were about to make a lot of positive substanitive changes and additions I'd be touting them hear with bells and whistles. I don't get excited by the building of timeshares. Or free tickets on my B-Day. Or American Idol. <<Don't worry, WDW is doing a bunch of things that you will be able to flash your annual pass at to get a sneek peek.>> Really? Like what? <<I am sure you already heard about the annual pass 3d exclusive for the osbourne family spectacle of lights.>> No biggee. It's a light show ... a nice one. But it isn't exactly new or fresh. <<Spirit, I got nothing against you, you are probably a nice person outside of all of this, but you need to stop attacking disney for no reason.>> I'm actually a terrible person who beats nuns for fun and microwaves kitties even when I am not hungry. And I don't 'attack' Disney for no reason. I criticize and I do where it is very called for.
64	Spirit of 74 Wed 11/5/2008 1:00p	<<I love the Disney company- but right now I do not like it at all...>> I think I agree with that sentiment. I am so tired of them being so reactionary. Go back to setting the standard and doing the impossible. WalMarting the product into The Timeshare Kingdom of the World is just a very quick scheme to fill the coffers and, in this economy, it's not the sure fire cash cow it was in 2005.
65	Spirit of 74 Wed 11/5/2008 1:03p	<<I feel DL should be, but it is not marketted as such internationally (in Europe not many under 40 even know there is a DL in California)>> DL absolutely is to anyone who understands history and what that place has meant to the world. But corporate has basically decreed that the MK is the flagship of the park chain just as the GF is the flagship of the hotel chain. Quality isn't a factor in either of those decisions either.
66	MPierce Wed 11/5/2008 2:59p	All of those wouldn't it be nice sayings of yours Spirit made me want to break into a Beach Boys tune!
67	MPierce Wed 11/5/2008 3:04p	>> have no desire to discuss anything political at this point. I am happy about last night. A little bit of faith in the American people and our system of electing leaders has been restored to me. << Why were you excited I told you what the outcome was going to be months ago. I just wonder how long this Joyus Honeymoon will last, and the people realize that unchecked politicians from both parties got us into this mess.
68	MPierce Wed 11/5/2008 3:16p	>> Disney is going to continue to make quality product, you just have to patient. << Qustion: What did one buzzard say to the other buzzard while cicling a injured deer? Answer: Patients HELL, I want to kill something! Losers, and also rans sit on the side lines, while leaders act. Disney use to be innovative, and set the extremely high standards for themselves that others would have to try, and achieve. It seems now that Disney is content on sitting around hoping that they don't have to act. They rely on their past reputation rather than creating even higher standards for the Millions of Disney fans. They are becoming a cheap imitation of the great vision that their founder Walt Disney had. They are acting like a bunch of slick, stiff suits that no longer have the vision nor the magic that is Disney.
69	davewasbaloo Wed 11/5/2008 3:32p	I am keen to start a campaign, Let's Put the Walt back into Disney!
70	MPierce Wed 11/5/2008 3:47p	I really think that would be a great idea. The only problem seems to be the powers that be seem to only want to have Remember the Magic campaignes, while over looking what actually creates the Magic.
