I am over it!

Shhhh

She sat at the table next to us at the Brown Derby, and Sherri Sheppard was on the other side!

I felt like Hedda Hopper!

I don't even know who these people are--I think Super Soaps weekend would have been lost on me.

Same here! I wouldn't know a soap star if I fell over one.

I do know it's the last year for Super Soap Weekend though. Given the number of people who do like this event, why is it ending? Does anyone know?

OrlandoMike, interesting on the squelching of the quasi political comments at the event. Patty Sheehan, Councilwoman made it a point to state that WDW and Blue Cross Blue Shield were strong supporters of Gay rights.

I do kind of understand the "redirecting" of the conversation though. Folks are there to be entertained and awed by their chosen celebrities, not to hear political comments (regardless of how much I think they may need to! ). They are in fantasyland, eh? As it should be at WDW.

Is it ending? I thought they were just going to rotate venues, like Disneyland, Vegas etc...

 

[DVC~OKW~96]

Oh geez. I don't know! My sister (who is a total soap freak) was wicked disappointed because she couldn't make it down this year for the "last super soap weekend ever" (her words). I do remembering hearing or reading (clearly don't remember too well LOL ) that it was the last one. I didn't hear anything about rotation.

What? Disney is getting rid of a popular entertainment event?

They're probably replace it with more shopping and dining.

 

[PghLybrt]

But it's the last ever Super Soap Weekend!! If you don't see Susan Lucci now, when will you ever get the chance again?

Crap, I thought I had many many more years to sneak that weekend past my Girl..... Oh well.

I was never so happy to be leaving WDW as when I realized that it was Super Soap Weekend....

 

[MonorailMan]

And MonorailMan.....sorry about your experience at some of the lounges, thats sad. Some people just dont realize if you leave the drama backstage, you actually may make a little more cash!

Thanks, Mike. It's not your fault. I had a great time regardless.

Isn't Susan Lucci always going to be at WDW seeing as how she's the first real audio-animatronic and all?

I don't drink much, but I did cruise through the bar (at the RIGHT resort) looking for Mike. I found out later he was on vacation the exact days we were booked at his resort.

Since I don't spend much time at the bar I can't say anything about the level of service. We did see 2 waitresses get into a fight (verbal) at 'Ohana, and I saw some rather disgruntled gift shop CMs at either AK or MGM (can't remember now). They were ignoring me and griping to each other.

Well.......at least you went to the right bar. I wasn't even close. I want to meet Mike too. Something tells me we'd be talking about Cedar Point and drum corps for about 5 hours. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Wow! I've never seen an actual verbal fight between cast members at WDW. I did, however, see numerous cast members who had the look of "I will bite your face off if you so much as ask me for a cup of coffee" on their faces. I'd love to be a cast member, but I can understand that putting up with people who expect perfection 101% of the time can wear a person down.....big time.

I actually got shoved one time by an angry female CM at EPCOT. They were organizing the crowd for the Tapestry of Nation's parade. (It was crazy crowded on December 31, 1999...Yep, I was there then) I guess she was just frustrated. I didn't have any prior interaction with her at all BEFORE the incident. I guess I was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. lol.

We were one of the last breakfast seatings at 'Ohana. I woke up that morning feeling very ill, but that was the day we had to move from SSR to the Poly. Of course when we got to the Poly at 10 AM our room wasn't ready yet. We already had the ADR for breakfast, so we decided we might as well go so DS and DH could eat. The dining room was really clearing out by the time we finished. We were waiting for our waitress to come back with our receipt and 2 other waitresses got into it. One of them had the little Magna-Doodle seating chart thing, and the other one wasn't happy about something, so they were going round and round.

I had a CM at Soarin' snap at me once, but that wasn't on our most recent trip.
