I'm surprised anybody remembers my little trip to Orlando back in january, in retrospect 4 weeks was too long and too early in the winter because after my return from the warm sunny days to my home here north of Anchorage, Alaska I found I still had at least 3-4 months more of winter, thats right, usually the last ice to thaw out on the lakes usually occurs late may and rarely even into the first week of june or so.
Sure I went to Disney Quest, 4 times I think, and BB maybe 5 or 6 times, but I owed that to my 10 year old son, he could not rationalize what a boycott means and missing out on Disney doesn't really bother him either. Our previous trip to WDW was in dec of 2001 and before was DL in 2000, maybe it was the year before because DCA wasn't quite open then so it may have been 1999.
So if we were to return to any Disney park it usually happens on a two year cycle and I'm personally hoping our next visit will be TDS in Japan. That is unless major corporate changes occur that motivates me otherwise but this year my money is going to the purchase of an Optoma 65" HDTV DLP widescreen, about $5,500 roughly and a room extension to make my home theatre a bit larger. THATS where my money is going instead to supporting Eisners retirement (though its a moot point because its drawn from years past) and severance pay. But I can rationalize my self to redirect my personal enjoyment instead of supporting anothers, and that extends to any circumstance affecting cast members that may be in the line of fire.
My advice to those currently working in the house of mouse...lash yourselves to the mast cause a storms a'comin and the ship may take on water. Grab your life preserver now and prepare to abandon ship before it sinks and sucks you down to the bottomless depths. Soon I expect the notion of a mass cast member job walkout will take effect, say just before the summer season (personally I wish the day before Gay Days
)
Now this isn't a forecast of what
will happen but more of an idea of what
should happen to occur, if WDW lost even 10% of its workforce for a week it would stun them unlike anything other than a direct terrorist attack, anything more say wishfully a 50% or more reduction of available bodies to greet the numbly paying guests would effectively shut the park down.
And when and of if that happens the whole world will react from the families coming from the UK, the locals with PAP's, those weird and funny Brazilian tour groups conquering EPCOT
and the world will respond in an anticlimate effect of outrage and further Disney denial, Eisner would or could become a global pariah, the ultimate Scrooge McDuck, an evil dark lord that EVERYONE will look at and focus their rage upon.
But could this actually happen?......,,
