Why do you hate Disney management so much?" Uuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmm.................read my entire post again. I never said *I* hated her. And a much more famous poster than I coined the term "inoverherheadMeg". Apology accepted........Captain Needa.

Originally Posted By Bob Paris 1 I sincerely apologize. You are correct. I equated the words you quoted from the OP with the very similar sentiment I posted. I could chalk it up to working a lot of my day doing physio with people with Alzheimer's(we swear it's contagious at work!)but it was a brain fart caused by posting exhausted at the end of a long week. Again - my apologies.

It's why I don't read some of those sites very often any more. Everyone's an expert on the internet. I have no idea if this woman is going to be good for DL, bad for DL, or indifferent for DL. And I don't pretend to.

Over at Micechat, the same discussion is going on .. and someone chimed in to say ... "She has so much to deal with as far as WDW goes, she couldn't find the time to mess up DL, anyway." She may have a say on the intricacies of TDA daily practices .. but as far as major projects for the DLR in the future .... Some are saying not to worry. THOUGH ... some are airing a bit of caution. We never know what she is capable of. But ... for the moment ... I'm going to remain positive, and hope she does not f* things up.

Crofton was seen fingering through these plans, and seemed pleased and bemused. Finally, as the sunset and the first star of the night began to shine, Crofton, George K, and Tony B. all formed a coven circle and danced in the blood of the hourly CM's naked. What will this all mean for TDA, Anaheim, In-N-Out Burger, and the Little Boy Blue hotel? Time will tell, but hourly CM's are changing their underwear daily again, which is hard on their meager salaries!
Originally Posted By ncnike7 Okay, I figured out from the posts who Meg Crofton is, but why does everyone hate her? No one would really get rid of Tony Baxter would they? He's like Disney royalty or something, right up there with Cinderella!
