    As stiff as that dude down on the Animation Board?<<<<<


    The few that I have engaged were personable enough, but to a point. They didn't follow me back, and the responses weren't exactly answering answers to the questions I asked.


    Imagineers, however, are the exact opposite. Very personable, they answer questions, and interact. Very genuine.

    Most of the "creative" people are more fun to talk to. But some of them can be just as maddeningly obtuse.

    Management types can be VERY obtuse, particularly when they lapse into corporate-speak in an inappropriate venue. My all time favorite example was several years back at an NFFC Convention in SoCal. The hall was filled with die hard Disneyland fans, who had been treated to a presentation from a senior level park executive. Following a rousing round of applause, he grinned and proclaimed, "You people are wonderful! You really love our brand!"

    Instead, the posts just disappear.

    Funny how when an individual wants something gone from a FB page that it can stay out there forever and cause personal and professional issues (often great harm), but not when a company does.

    Scary, isn't it?

    So, Social Media exists as a conduit for communication between guests/fans/consumers and a company, yet when a company has a chance to set the record 'straight', so to speak, they just censor the posts into oblivion?

    Propaganda again, anyone?

    With nearly 27 million followers on their main FB page alone, what company wouldn't want to use that platform to engage its followers, put out a cohesive corporate message and knock down ay misinformation?

    But I'm sure it would have been difficult for a Disney Social Media rep to simply state that 'At this time, we have absolutely no intention of selling our beloved parks and resorts that bring join to tens of millions of guests annually and create magical memories that last a lifetime. They have, remain and will continue to be an integral part of the MAGIC of TWDC.'

    Wouldn't that be simple? Case closed. End of speculation.

    Unless of course ... more news to come?

    Just one of the 87,342 reasons I deleted my FB page.

    Actually, the main reason was after seeing that Social Network movie and not wanting to be a part of something that involved a scheming little nerd stealing from other people.

It was just every other person's pathetic clutter and egocentric brain farts and I came to HATE it.

    Seeing the movie was the straw that broke the camel's back and just tipped me over the edge.


    Actually, your(DlDug's)response is indicative of quite a few people whom I later told. Their faces go kinda shocked and they say in almost a whisper, "You LEFT Facebook?!?!?"

    Yeah dingus.

    And guess what?

    Life goes on.

    I LOATHE all the apps on FB. They can be blocked very easily. And I am also careful about what I share on the site.

    It is scary how people don't get that this stuff never can be truly deleted (FB will always have it). It exists forever and can haunt you ... much more so than LP posts where you swear Disney is building a fifth park with villains and thrill rides because Frank the busdriver that took you from PO to the MK confirmed it.

    FB does more harm than good because people do not get what it really is all about ... gaining more personal data on more people than anything/government/company in the history of mankind to the nth degree.

    Folks are so naive.

    Should've stayed that way.

    To hear some people tell it, you'd think FB was as necessary to life as water and air.

    And there's no need for Disney theme parks, either. None. But people like 'em, and a lot of people care about what happens with them. Others, not so much.
