I didn't really get that all that much from this article. Maybe you're reading too much into the snark? Or maybe I'm reading too little into it? Didn't really bother me.

With that said, what character should I pose with next week to post on LP Live now that Duffy is gone?

In addition to the snobbish tone toward DL specifically, the whole post had a "let's go see what those rubes down south are up to this time" feel to it. I'm totally fine with questioning the practices of people doing anything out of the ordinary, but the whole thing just seemed to come from the angle of making personal attacks. Yes, it didn't mention anybody in particular, but it was clearly written to show off how superior the writer was to all of "them" >>With that said, what character should I pose with next week to post on LP Live now that Duffy is gone?<< ...is LP Live even around any more? I haven't seen it in a while. My vote goes for one of the face characters, since they sort of force you to interact with them. With the rubberheads, it's easy enough to hop in for a photo and run away, but it's hard to do that when the character starts asking you all sorts of ridiculous questions (as though you don't know they're a college kid playing dress-up) before you can do the deed

I say you buy a Duffy plush and make sure he's in every picture you ever take that's Disney related from now on. Keep the dream alive!! Yeah, I know this means carrying Duffy around wherever you go on Disney property. But if you can't make that sacrifice, you're no true Disney fan. I wanna see Duffy dining at the Napa Rose. Having drinks at the Carthay. Cowering from Harold. Staking out a spot for Paint the Night...

Originally Posted By CuriousConstance Hans, just to warn you the Capt America and Thor lines are one now. You line up and get to meet both in the same line.

I mean, it's one thing to fall asleep on Pirates or in Mr Lincoln, but they're literally just sleeping on the floor. You'd think that somebody in the group would have said "Guys, maybe it's just time to call it quits and go home"
