Febuary 1, 2010 - Burbank, Ca. Walt Disney Television today announced that they have given the greenlight to a new reality show and while the title has not yet been announced, the show will loosely follow the concept of the highly popular MTV series The Jersey Shore, (that is except for drinking). Disney tapped real live Jersey Shore native Pete "The Situation" Werner of the Orlando production company "DU" to serve as executive producer for the show. "Disney came to us for a proposal, I could think of only one idea to pitch" said Werner. "It will be west coast version of the MTV show, only with a family theme" Werner continued. "They (MTV) placed their cast in a house on the shore and they have them working at T-Shirt shop on the boardwalk, we're going to put our group in a hotel at
Disneyland, and we'll have them working at the various concessions and rides at the California attraction". Werner concluded by saying, I was born on the Jersey Shore, I know the Jersey Shore, the Jersey Shore is a friend of mine, and MTV, youre not the Jersey Shore.
Sources close to the project, while not giving out specific details, indicated that the cast will be involved in all aspects of "making the magic happen", from working behind the scenes in the many support roles to actually performing in the public "on stage" activities such as parades and working in gift stores. Several of the cast will even be asked to perform the Tinker Bell Drop from atop the 94 foot tall Sleeping Beauty Castle. Las Vegas based Flying By Foy has been retained to work with the cast, none of whom have ever been involved in these types of stunts.
According to Werner, "The hook that will grab the viewers is that none of the cast has any idea what theyre getting into. They think they're coming for a Disney Adventure Vacation. Heck, they even paid their own way to get here; the folks at Disney really loved that part". "We'll get to see their reaction on the first night when they see what they'll be asked to do, and as the week goes on, see the friendships and bonds grow as can only happen when youre in the trenches serving snow cones on a hot California day."
Its reported that the cast will first hear of the real nature of their "adventure" during a first night dinner event. Numbering forty, they will be coming from all parts of the country. The shooting schedule for the show, which received an 8 episode order, is set to be completed over a 5 day period.
Famed TV director Kevin "You can never get to" Klose was tapped to get the most out of the naive cast. "When I first heard from Pete that this was a go, all I could say was Oh My God, just the thought of getting eight one-hour shows taped in the time we've been given by Disney, it would be impossible, said Klose. At first I was not even going to do it, but Pete promised that catering would be serving Dole Whips and I was in. By the time taping beings in mid-April, Klose, who is noted for his direction of football games for ESPN should be well rested and ready for what promises to be a round the clock marathon guiding six camera crews.
Co-executive producer Walter "DJ Echols has been quoted as saying "At this point, the only thing we've told the cast is that they better be in shape, theyre in for a real surprise when they get here. And to quote Nietzsche, That which does not kill us makes us stronger. I hope that our cast will feel that way when this is over. Neither Werner or Klose commented on Echols statement.
The show is set to run sometime in the summer 2010.

bad enough that the River has been drained - those pictures made everything look horrible - I'm hoping it isn't
- it's supposed to be completed by the end of March though - fingers crossed on that one
- I couldn't stand knowing that we were the cause of a severe physical ailment -
and World of Color construction is behind schedule.
