But I am seriously thinking of staying away from that magical place. I feel as out of place as I would be in a women's restroom. <<Because obviously that is common knowledge. >> No. Because many of them can't handle intelligent discussions about big issues so they bog you down in minituae until you don't even know what you're even discussing. Even when I disagree with folks here, I never have that problem. ~What did you just say?~

Apparently, Bob, Willow and brats are at WDW this week, so that's what the PR staff will be working on getting out. ~Phase 2 Closing: Pecos Bill Cafe restrooms!~

That ticket, and program from Ms. Garland's 1965 performance at the Astrodome is a cherished item . I never miss Designed to Sell. I just love Lisa Laporta she's my favorite designer now. It's kind of hard to remain devoted to the network though, since Michael Payne is no longer on. ......But I'm married......to a girl! Life can be confusing sometimes.

Unfortunately, due to the economy I am going to have to cease paying you ... although I still expect your complete and utter devotion to me and my goals for world domination (as well as the downfall of some Disney execs). ~Seven Minutes~

Originally Posted By CarolinaDisneyDad <<<It is a shame that it happened.

Or the days he would call me on the radio and tell me to come to Grand Prix and he and I (in our shirts and ties) would open another track and jump cars so that the lines would be shorter.>>> I think this is great. You boss was doing a number of things that today would have probably gotten him canned. His approach was unorthodox but his results were probably great. First, he was team building. Breaking down barriers by working together. Second, he was emphasizing that everyone needs to do whatever job is needed and that no job is beneath someones level. Third, he was reinforcing the importance of the guest and the guest experience. I may be wrong, but I would bet that most of his employees loved working for him and that his area was more efficient and able to respond quickly to changes because of the open communication line he was establishing through daily interaction. He gave pride and probably created a fun atmosphere. Whatever happened to this guy. If he was dismissed, what was the reason given?

The thing I don't get is that it's fine to go see the same things on Broadway but if you watch them at home or love the shows at Disney people think you are wierd. Well, I may be wierd but I'm not gay. Nothing I have matches! LOL
