If you had your choice...

[tiggerwannabe]

of Disney speakers at a convention...

who or what would you like to see and or learn about???

Think of something outside the box

Would you like to meet an author?

hear about someones travels?

learn anything specific about Disney?

I am curious what you all can come up with...

Just an enquiring Disney mind at work~

I'd appreciate any and all replies

I'd like to hear ConcKahuna talk about a day in the life of a Poly CM.

I'd like to hear Orlando Mike talk about being a CM at his resort (and the things he's probably heard)!

I like hearing from real people about real people.

lemee think & get back 2 ya!

If there are no restrictions...I'd like to hear from Walt himself.

If the space/time continuum counts...I'd say the head chef of Victoria & Alberts. I'd like to hear about his "day in the life" especially since he does a tasting menu.

I always like that Marty guy when I see him on Disney shows. I'd love to hear him talk about almost anything Disney.

Huey, Dewy and Louie, I would like to hear how they got stuck with their cranky uncle. Where is mom and dad?

Joe Rohde! He is such an interesting man. It would be fascinating to hear him talk about his ideas and his travels.

 

[tiggerwannabe]

I'm back to check on your answers....

You all came up with some really neat ones...

of course the smart aleck answers are from my buds

I am also interest in hearing if maybe you all have favorite authors, favorite web people, etc,
that also indulge in the Disney travel fantasy
that you all would like to see speak at a real convention...

Keep em coming

He is TOTALLY my favorite Imagineer of the day!!!

Joe would be my ideal speaker, for sure~

Can you elaborate on this one...

I tried googling him and got some random guy named Marty Disney

 

[artman]

Colleen, I think he/she is talking about Marty Sklar, a very cool guy.

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

I really like Len Testa from the Unofficial Guide. He always responds to my e-mails and he is genuinely helpful and nice. I would like to see him in person and hear about the different aspects of converting data to book each year.

Yes, Marty Sklar is the guy on all of the Travel Channel shows. There is also a guy named Eric who seems very knowledgeable, but I can't think of his last name.

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Marty Sklar would be another awesome get for a guest speaker!

Artie, help us out, do you know who "Eric" is?

Len Testa is actually do-able! The details on what you'd like him to speak about is great too, thank you

Colleen,
How about someone in the know, about the new Hawaii resort project...
I hear its already in the works...in oahu..or the othert big projects they are getting into?...

Maybe a call to Disney could give answers on who you could talk to about it..???
It would be promotional for them...So they may be willing to send someone to talk about it at the meet?

Congrats on the new job!

 

[tiggerwannabe]

That's another great idea!

I've seen a talk about Adventures by Disney, it would be a bonus to hear someone talk about the incarnation of an actual Disney resort

Congrats on the new job!

Thank you dahling...I really hope this venture works out~

Colleen, I think he/she is talking about Marty Sklar, a very cool guy.

Yup, that's him. He's interesting. And while I'm sure he isn't completely candid, he doesn't come off schmoozy like the rest of those Disney people do.

Len Testa would be great, too. Never heard him speak, but I love the UG.

...and I'm a she.

 

[artman]

...and I'm a she.

Noted, thanks. I always try to be careful not to offend.

 

[tiggerwannabe]

...and I'm a she.

And it's not her flippin Cat!

(ETA:that sounds so cute )

Thank you all for your input...

this really is going into something useful

If I may ask you Coolbeans,

do you reside anywhere near the great northeast?

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Noted, thanks. I always try to be careful not to offend.

Only until he gets to know you



Then he starts painting big black moustaches on your photopass pictures...
