Craig leaving the DIS Unlimited.

[NC Belle]

Congrats to Craig and his family! It is a great time to go for your dreams. Yes, there will be a mixed bag of feelings, but I know y'all will be fine and be creating more goals/dreams. Best wishes.

I have stopped listening over the last 2 years (as many have). However, I recognize Craig’s talent and the show will certainly miss him.

Congrats to Craig! So thrilled for him in his new role. I haven't finished watching the episode, but I did catch him speak of how "undeserving" he felt of his Disney opportunity. You deserve it, Craig!!

Congratulations, Craig! I'm so very sorry to see him go. I remember his first appearance on the show in the 'nook'. It is definitely Disney's gain. I know all of us as guests and Disney fans will ultimately benefit from his hard work and dedication. Wishing Craig all the very best and thanking him for all of his contributions particularly his thoughtful interaction with posters on the Boards. A voice of reason with a real passion for Disney.

 

[TheCodeMan95]

So happy for this guy. He deserves everything that's going to come for him.

With the amount of skating around they were doing.. I'm wondering if Craig may be headed to Imagineering. John did mention that he furthered his education!

Congrats Craig - it was a long strange journey, but not too many people get to land a dream job so close to their passion - and you have hit it twice.....and no wonder you reviewed Tiana's so positively! All kidding aside, Disney is lucky to land someone with your skills and appreciation for its rich history. You will be a great asset (and yes we are all counting on you).

This is bittersweet news for the viewers, but congratulations to you @Teleclashter ! I don't even know you personally, but I am thrilled for you!

 

[Lewisc]

Congratulations and good luck.

 

[Allison]

I hope this is a much healthier work environment for him. It sounds like a great opportunity.

 

[auroralark]

Best of luck and congratulations, Craig!

 

[Pooh2]

Wishing all the best to Craig and his beautiful family!

I have stopped listening over the last 2 years (as many have). However, I recognize Craig’s talent and the show will certainly miss him.

I stopped listening / watching in 2013 after sitting in Pizzafari next to a person who will not be named at the 15th anniverary of Animal Kingdom. His conversation on the phone was so disturbing, I never listened again until everything was revamped and restarted with said person no longer a part of the show. I'll miss Craig's presence but I wish all the best for him in his future.

 

[BigEeyore]

So sad to hear this! IMHO Craig has been the best part of the Dis team and it won't be the same without him. Wishing him all the best on his next chapter!

 

[KStash]

Congrats, Craig! Sad to see you go.

 

[Hunterr]

So let’s see, John and Kevin have been no where to be seen for months. Then they show up on a day to honor Craig and in the middle of Craig’s heartfelt goodbye they make stupid jokes towards him. Pathetic.

what is this comment even??

Everyone was doing fun banter with eachother like they always have. Craig got in his heartfelt goodbye, and Kevin and John did the same for him.
Debbie Downer over here, omg.

 

[limace]

I thought it was actually a really nice tribute. The jokes and banter seems to be how they all relate to each other and felt genuine to me.

Craig, I have so enjoyed your hosting on the podcast. Wishing all you the best but sure will miss your voice!

 

[fly girl]

Disney made a wonderful choice. You can see his strong work ethic by all he has produced at The Dis. Wishing him all the best on his new endeavor, it is much deserved.

Craig, you will be sorely missed but so happy for you!

 

[dramaticmissy]

Congratulations Craig! You will be missed and Congratulations to Ryno on the promotion you will do GREAT!!

 

[bluecruiser]

Read my comment again and listen to the podcast again. Thanks for your opinion Karen.

I listened to the podcast again. These comments were nothing more than the usual banter among the team members. This has been going on for many years, even back to the time when Bob Varley was on the team and podcast. People got upset because they thought Bob was being picked on, but Bob was fully in on the bantering.

Getting back to the subject of this thread: good luck Craig with your new job. The DIS's loss is Disney's gain!

 

[FredQc]

Definitely a great lost.

On the latest episode of “Connecting with Walt,” Craig dropped a cue about his successor (at 17:57), a voice familiar to the listeners of The DIS in its early days. Craig indicates that he had been perceived as its successor, back in the time.

Could it be Dustin West?
