Maybe Leemac will also be discovered for his knowledge on Disney also, it's been a while since he posted. There are really so many posters here that make this such an informative, and enjoyable site. Maybe word will get around, and Doobie can start anticipating more hits on his site. I hope so anyway.

I truly feel my charm is highly underappreciated. <<He has always been a great source for things concerning Disney, he just always doesn't get the recognition for it. I guess when you read his post you just start taking it for granted that he has a unique way of looking at Disney, and kind of overlook his vast knowledge.>> In all seriousness, thanks. Really. I appreciate it. <<Maybe Leemac will also be discovered for his knowledge on Disney also, it's been a while since he posted. >> I agree. I actually miss Lee (and not just to rag on him, but I REALLY hope he isn't lurking and seeing this!!!) and his unique insight (besides, we both did love Eureka!) Any intelligent, articulate folks with inside views can only make the LP a better place for Disney fans and I think that was the whole point to begin with. <<There are really so many posters here that make this such an informative, and enjoyable site.

You know all this talk about a 14-story tower next to the Contemporary is just hogwash by crazy Disney dweebs on the web ... pony up some more $$$ ... maybe add on to that SS stash before it sells out. There will never, ever, ever be DVC in the MK resort area ... nope.

I am NOT Roy so don't play with the kids' minds ... but I have had the pleasure of meeting him and I can honestly say he isn't as cranky as me, although he's led a bit different life too! He really is a gentleman and I wish he had more than a ceremonial title with TWDC because he's the only family member who really seems keen to being part of it. I'll also say that the first time I ever was in Roy's presence --many, many years ago -- I watched as he had a drag down, knockout, ugly family meltdown with his wife and daughter (complete with yelling, obscenity and general nastiness) ... but you know what? It humanized the man to me. It made me realize he was just a man like every other ... just one who happened to be the nephew of Walt Disney and, at the time, a deadwringer for his uncle. There are no airs about Roy. What you see truly is what you get.
