Diser's for CMO!

[Carolwoodpr]

Answered my own question - he works for Disney (obviously I knew that already. lol)

So now should I send him an email asking who the other 13 are? Let him know that inquiring minds want to know?

Okay, who the heck is Benjamin Thompson? We have all of our email set to have people send read receipts, and the 'read' email came from him.

He is Donald's feather-stylist and personal assistant. Donald is probably too busy to check his own mail, so he has Benjamin check it for him. Of course...this is another guess. I'm much more certain about the time machine thing and Rhoda Dakota.

I thought it was pretty nice of them to actually mention me by name on their blog.

I noticed that as well - and immediately thought of you! Wish they had mentioned MY name.

You have got to stop making me laugh - it is making me cough. lol Oh my goodness, you are incredible!

Sorry all for going post crazy this morning, but I just realized something (forgive me as I am sick and totally exhausted).

I mentioned that I got a read receipt. That means that they are actually READING the messages we send Donald!

I think I would love to have that job - I bet some great messages are coming through.

1. Love all the chatter today.

2. The speculation of the Missing 13 was great Fleagle.

3. Thanks for sending us the info on the Chad guy.

4. I sent Donald a note, too, and got the return email right away.

5. Thanks for posting the other videos...I'm glad I got to see the "CNN" one that some of you were talking about.

6. What? There are people who don't DIS??? Actually, I understand that an internet chat room is not for everyone -- you have to be able to at least tolerate if not accept contrary points of view and many folks cannot do that.

7. I still have my own thoughts on those with special effects and movie production quality but I think that's just b/c I entered and didn't even realize that that is what Disney was really looking for (nor do I know how to do it...). If I hadn't bothered to make the video, it prob wouldn't have bothered me at all. So it's really just my problem -- not the fault of people doing the videos nor of WDW/CB for choosing the better ones.

OK, there's my thoughts!

...which brings me to my first guess as to one of the “Closet Finalists”… Chad Thompson. ... Dig a little deeper, and you’ll learn that RAMP stands for Rocket Ace Moving Pictures. Their own website says they are a Toronto-based “cutting edge film production house”...

Is Chad "Toronto-based?" If so, that could explain it if he didn't make the Top 20. (Contest is for residents of the 50 states and D.C.) Despite his Canadian accent, he could definitely also be from Detroit.

His video is excellent! So here is hoping he is from South of the Border... wait... I mean South of the Northern Border. Well, it would be south if he was Canadian, but North if he was from the US. You get my point.

Nancy Drew! We need you!

Wow . .. . I missed a lot of action today! (stupid job!) Great posts everyone! Loved the speculation - specifically Rhoda Dakota.

Great sleuthing, Nancy Drew!

Another one on youtube that I saw that caught my eye was from a young lady named Lynze. I can't figure out how to post a link, but if you hit youtube, just search for "Lynze CMO" and it should pop up.

Okay guys someone was asking about the other three that I mentioned earlier as some of my favorites, but I couldn't find their videos... well I dug around and here they are and one was Chad Thompson who someone else just mentioned here-

These were just a few of my favorites that apparently aren't in the top 20...or are they? I guess we'll never know!

Good stuff! Very creative! (Thanks for posting!) I hadn't seen any of these. 'Makes me wonder how many of the videos I actually watched...

(I especially liked the outtakes following the video with the lit-up swing set. Very cute!)

 

[DISgeeksfromDC]

I just sent a little note of support for him. I guess I am the sucker that still believes in all of this stuff. Now, I kind of feel stupid !! I really hope I am not the only one that contacts him. Come on you all, wasn't Donalds breakfasourous worth one little vote?

No, don't feel silly! I think it's great!

In fact, you've inspired me to do the same.

scared: I'm a little nervous about what to say, though. ... Given that Donald *is* part of the Fab Five! )

I know Andy had his phone interview today - any news on how it went? I have not checked the other boards yet to find out so thought hopefully someone here could let us know.

 

[Tink Fatale]

I just saw this post on the Inside the Magic forum...

Well, obviously I need to keep the details pretty sketchy, but I think the interview went well. Some questions I expected, some I didn't.

Vague enough for ya?!

Andy

 

[DISgeeksfromDC]

Everyone was so excited about me entering - I'm really dreading telling them all tomorrow that I didn't make it to the next round. They'll be almost as disappointed as me. Oh, well...

Hey, Cat, are you out there? How did your colleagues take the news?

 

[tothesea]

Saw on inside the magic, that his interview went well, he said there were some questions he expected, some he didn't...I'm sure he did great, as will all you guys!

 

[DISgeeksfromDC]

Is Chad "Toronto-based?" If so, that could explain it if he didn't make the Top 20.

I got the impression he is -- or was. Didn't he refer to a "stint" in Disney's International Student Program as part of his credentials?

Oh, and I enjoyed your earlier post. (I think that Finalists #19 & #20 are my favorites!)

I also thought this one was good...but the teens in my house though she was really annoying and phony.
My guess is she made the top 20 though.

The spelling of Lynze's name name reminds me of a girl I knew in college. She was an aspiring actress named Betsy and one day insisted that everyone call her (and spell her name) BETZ...all caps...true story.

'Wonder where she is now? ... She probably became "The Artist Formerly Known As ... BETZ."

Thanks for the updates on Andy - too bad he couldn't give more info, but I can understand why.

I noticed that as well - and immediately thought of you! Wish they had mentioned MY name.

I was so flattered that I volunteered myself as his online campaign manager!

Vote The Donald in '08!
