Originally Posted By CuriousConstance Leo, given your attitude around here, I doubt anything would impress you.

Originally Posted By Mickeymouseclub Hey Leo, you can insult me and Disney but not CC... But for discussion sake ... You are halfway correct since I actually took the time to read the entire article and watch the insert with the music. .. I am thinking it is overkill on behalf of Disney. An attempt to place 7 Dwarfs on par with Universal's Harry Potter. We will see if the media has a fantastic preview vibe for this or not. BUT if I got that invite in the mail, I would expect to be able to actually experience the attraction. Thanks for your comment tho. It reminded me that I am still irritated with WDW for removing Snow White and inserting a Princess meetngreet. And for moving Dumbo and for removing ToonTown and creating magic band handcuffs. I promise not to have fun on my next trip.

Originally Posted By Yookeroo There's two sides to the fanboi coin. One is the person who loves everything Disney touches and can't get enough.

They're one side when it comes to TDL and the other when it comes to WDW. This isn't unique to Disney fandom. Seems to be pretty normal wherever you get passionate fans of something. <I don't consider myself a "fanboi".> I wouldn't consider you one either. You're not nearly emotionally invested enough to be one. Most (but not all) on this board have at least one foot on the sane side of fandom.
Originally Posted By CuriousConstance I am definitely a Disney fan. I can't get enough of the parks. Adore the movies, etc. But I can be reasonable and objective despite being such a big fan. I know when something they do is not good. But when people get to the point where they are so jaded, they find no joy out of it anymore and act like anyone who does is committing a crime, I have to start wondering about them.

Right? If the only joy you get is from bashing, why bother? I can think of thousands of better ways to spend my time. And many more things that are worthy of my anger (just check out the global warming thread). Disney's biggest artistic crimes? If they get too bad, I find other things to do without much difficulty.

I would describe myself as a fan that knows discussing Disney on this board is not going to change any of Disney's corporate decisions. Does a fanbois think the opposite?
Originally Posted By Witches of Morva ORDDU: Well, my sisters and I agree with CuriousConstance in regard to those who only complain to the point where they don't seem to like anything about Disney anymore. Why are they here if all they can do is bash this, bash that, bash those who still enjoy the characters and the movies, etc.? ORWEN: Because they live to rain on the parades of others--that's why! This site isn't nearly as much fun as it used to be and we don't post as much as we used to because of all the negative vibes certain others like to put out. ORGOCH: Got better things ta do?

" There is definitley a difference between complaining about something Disney does sometimes (we all do that), and only EVER complaining about EVERYthing they do and belittling anyone who happens to enjoy the parks or a movie, or actually want to have something something besides a negative conversation sometimes. It would be like hating an actor or actress, but spending most of my day on their fan sites talking about them with utter hatred, and making everyone else that likes them feel like they are committing a crime. Not normal.
