Then they would go after Universal or whoever was there.. (would any parks besides Gatorland be there if Disney wasn't?)
Even the local ABC affiliate (WFTV) goes after them hard.. in part I think because :
a) they don't want to 'appear' to be playing favorites
b) genuine animosity between the affiliate and the network
c) Sensational stories get views. And anything involving Disney will get eyes and ears to perk up and possibly tune in.. especially castmembers, AP holders, haters, lovers whatever ..
If more people didn't tune in and watch (or tuned away when that kind of negative reporting came on..) .. they wouldn't do it. Obviously among the Orlando outlets, anything "Disney" is considered a "big deal"
It's exactly the same online in a way..
You can say "don't feed the troll" 10,000 times.. but some folks just cannot resist .. and then it's off to the races.
Hey CanadianGuy,
Without repeating too much of what I said in Post #8 of This thread,
If The Local Orlando News Media even dreams of acting REALLY STUPID, and wids up Going after every big time theme park vacation property there,
example: Walt Disney World, Universal, Sea World, Holyland Experience, etc.
Then that will be proof that Orlando no longer needs anymore business from visiting and vacationing tourists. LESS BUSINESS, LESS MONEY FLOW.
But for me personally, Walt Disney World means a bit more.
My DisBoard Friends, I have autism. I am scared to talk too much about it sometimes because I do not want to come accross in an evil way.
When I was a 4 Year Old child, My Mom and Dad, and One of My Aunts and Uncles took My Brothers, My Cousins, and me on Our First Visit to Walt Disney World in the Spring of 1983 for a Family Vacation when there was Only 2 Parks there, Magic Kingdom and Epcot,
It was Round about Easter Time, when I saw Cinderella Castle for the first time and then watching those clips of How the Disney People Created The Disney Animated Films on The Wonderful World of Disney when I was home,
I caught the art bug. I used to draw pictures of The Cinderella Castle at The Magic Kingdom, and The Spaceship Earth Geosphere at Epcot and Mickey Mouse ALL THE TIME. Trust me.
Walt Disney World touched My Life. I just don`t want to even dream about what I would be without Walt Disney World.
The Moral to my story is: when they paint Walt Disney World in such a false and bad light, it is almost as if they attacked a part of me personally, sometimes. And as far as I am concerned, Speaking for myself,
The Local Orlando News Media need to be thanking the man upstairs That Walt Disney World is giving them Visiters, Tourists, Business, Jobs,
MONEY FLOW. They need to be thankful that Walt Disney World is giving people a reason to even COME to Orlando, Florida.
Because Walt Disney World IS THE REASON people even COME to Orlando, Florida.
