I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He has some amazing stories he can tell. Especially about protein spills with then-Vice President Ford and mystical Fantasyland restrooms. (He swears if you press the quail tiles in a certain way, you will uncover a portal that can transport you to an alternate-MK where you'll find the Indiana Jones LSD Adventure, a Country Bear Jamboree with real bears, and a water slide around Cinderella Castle.) Pony up the money for the D23 event, he's worth hearing!

Think of how envious all those pseudo-fans will be when they see you wearing your $99.99 embossed Mickey Tee, adorned with this new limited addition patch, available to you exclusively through D23. Plus you get a magazine that we ripped off the idea from Lee MacDonald. It's nearly 50% as good as LeeMac's Tales From the Laughing Place, the pictures are almost as good as Linsay Cave's are, and the print quality of the magazine itself is trying very hard to live up to the standards of Tales.

At least that's what Disney does everytime I e-mail them.

I told them I thought that would be a good idea if they had considered that. They returned my e-mail with a very snide reply from legal. I fully understand the reason behind it. I just think Mikey's Gestapo could have been a tad more polite in their reply to me. Might I be so bold as to say Disney Legal was not Remembering The Magic!

LOL But the fact is ... if they stayed on track with what was 'technically correct' they would have not called WDW's system "WEDWAY....".
