Comcast/Disney Top 10 List

[Tigger Woods]

All right, let's beat Dave Letterman to the punch. Let's do 'The Top 10 things that will happen if Disney is purchased by Comcast.' Here's a few to get us started ...

* All Disney Parks and Resorts employees will now be known as Com-Cast Members.

* Cashing in on the cable show's popularity, The 'Showtime's Sex In The City' thrill ride will become a big hit. All the seats vibrate.

* The Buzz Lightyear shoot-em-up ride will remain, but the new target will be a DirecTV satellite dish.

* Taking a cue from cable installers, Disney employees can now show up for work any time 'Between 9:00 am and 5:00 p.m.'

* Cable Pirates of the Caribbean.

* Mickey's PhilharMagic movie will no longer be free with paid admission. It will be available to park guests as 'Pay-Per-View.

OK, guys .. now it's your turn ..

* Disney's California Adventure will become Disney's Pennsylvania Adventure and Soarin Over California will become Soarin Over Pennsylvania.

* Philly cheese steaks will replace turkey legs

* Punxsutawney Phil the ground hog will replace Mickey Mouse as corporate symbol

(I wish I actually knew something about Pennsylvania)

New slogan...

*"Done with the mouse"

Resort TV will now feature commercials for such pay-per-view gems as "Gigli" and the Superbowl halftime lingere spectacular as your "Zipadee -doo- dah tip for today!"

 

[raidermatt]

They will book the Dixie Chicks for a WDW PPV/webcast concert and call it:

Broad Band via Broadband

 

[Zippa D Doodah]

New concept for Tower of Terror: You get mugged by Allen Iverson and his posse.

I'm ok with the cheesesteaks! Can they put it on a stick?

*-It'll have to be Soarin' over South Philly, featuring the new stadiums downtown!

*-If you insert your card at the entry, the machine automatically finds out if you paid your cable bill before allowing you to enter.

Main Street will be renamed South Street.

The only name on a CM name badge will be "Vinnie"

The old buses that smoke like freight trains will be replaced by... oh wait, they're the same. Never mind.

In Epcot, you would now have Chinatown and 'Lil Itly

The only cheese sold in France would come in a jar with the word Whiz on it.

At every restaurant the waiter -Vinnie- would ask "you want dat wit cheez and onions ?" regardless of what you ordered.

 

[Luv2Roam]

* Guests will now be called: "Youse guys"
* Scrapple on a Stick shaped in as a Mickey head

Sometimes, but not really. Philly is much like Boston or Chicago, a very diverse place. We are not just cheesesteaks and Rocky.

Understood! Generalizations aside, I really do hate those commercials!

In an effort to save $$$ without "diminishing" guest experiences, CRO and DVC Member Services phone lines will be forwarded to Comcasts customer service lines. Both Disney reservations and Cable ops will use the same call centers. Comcast Customers will receive free automatic room upgrades when booking accomodations---if you can get through. Online reservation services will be discontinued unless you have Comcast cable connections.

"* Taking a cue from cable installers, Disney employees can now show up for work any time 'Between 9:00 am and 5:00 p.m.'"

Not THAT is funny. And accurate. Can you imagine Comcast improving or even maintaining service at Disney? I don't tink so.

>>Philly is much like Boston or Chicago, a very diverse place. <<

And also very different than most of the rest of the country, specifically:

- heavily unionized (on average, 30% 0f workforce)

- old, cold and northern

- aging populations (most new blood is third world immigration)

 

[mariessas_mom]

gulp.....this would be the worst.

"welcome to comcast world"
