**NEW PERR FOR D23 Members**

[757hokie]

I think so too. If Disney is smart, which they aren't on this, they will PAY ATTENTION! Look how many of us got excited about something for park fans.

My thoughts exactly. This prank (and a great one it is) has generated the kind of buzz that D23 COULD HAVE produced if it had some real park-related perks. I was one of many who thought while reading the press release "maybe there is a reason to join after all."

I'd still like that meet-and-greet with Santa, the Easter Bunny, Bigfoot, and the Tooth Fairy though...

I just did a quick Google search, and someone on the DisBoards has uncovered the name of the website owner.

*clears throat and looks meaningfully at the Mouseguest Podcast team*

[edited to clarify which podcast team I'm looking at]

It's actually kind of funny.

This is the part that gave it away for me:

"an exclusive meet-and-greet with Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, Bigfoot and the Tooth Fairy."

LOL! I know, I did take a second look and saw the "fine print" and had a laugh. I listen to their podcast, too. They were one of three podcast couples I knew of that had become first time parents within a month of each other. I called it the podcast baby boom. (All three couples had boys.)

Ooooooh, I get it....

Well, you could still sign up for Club 33 at Disneyland. The current wait time to become a member is 14 years. No joke. Really! Take a look at:

(if you really want to believe....)

I think I will sign up now just in case I want to join. What is the cost to join 33?? Clearly, I have plenty of time to save up.

I'm the poster on the other board that the above quote mentions. Just want to clarify -- the podcast team that I'm glancing at is the Mouseguest podcast team, not the Dis Podcast team. As a PP on this thread says, the owner of the Club D23 site is one of the Mouseguest podcasters.

And that's why I only listen to the DIS podcasts. I know I can trust the info I receive. It's a great April Fools joke, but if it caused people to spend money they might not have had or really spent on D23 anyway, then it's really not that funny.

 

[fakereadhed]

That's the best April Fool's prank ever!!!! Hilarious.

The test of a good prank is when people get a little upset about it because that means they were really buying it.

I also heard that Thursdays at Club D23 will be GLBT night. Oh yeah ... it's not April 1st yet.

 

[Commando2319]

Yippie!!! Another Countdown. I can't wait to see the negative time again!

Pretty amusing hoax, though if I were the person responsible I'd be concerned about the 'friendly' people at Disney legal. Will be interesting to see what, if anything, happens to him.

Anything is possible, but they will probably just send them a C & D, the jokester will take the site down, and it will all be over.

I somewhat understand your concern but isn't all the information in k5jmh's post publicly available to anyone who does a domain-name search or some Internet digging?

agnes!

Quite likely, yes. If it was me, though, especially understanding the internet reception for D23 has been lukewarm at best, I'd be concerned about offering myself up as a target for annoyed Disney execs, that's all. I assume they'll want it to be removed and be quiet about it, but then again they sue daycares so...

If the registrant didn't want his information public he would not have used it in a pubic directory.

I'm a little confused about this now. I thought it was funny at first, but today on the new podcast that Dan Hess is on they read the press release, except for the part at the bottom about Santa Claus and the Easter bunny and talk about how great the club will be and how you have to be a D23 member to sign up for the new club, ect...to me, there is no way that you could tell it's all a joke just by listening to that podcast and I really can see people who just listen, joining D23 just for the club sign up. If I did that I would be really mad to find out it's an April Fool's joke. It seems kinda mean now IMHO.

And this is where he may end up in legal trouble. I wonder if a lawyer was consulted before they tried this.

 

[wdwowner]

Wow, people need to lighten up a little bit.

It is an April Fools joke, MGW has been doing one each year since they started. If you listened to them you would know that.

Open up your world, listen to other podcasts. You would be amazed at what other points of view there are out in the 'Big Blue World!'

BTW, the earth is not flat.

That is the greatest thing about freedom of choice. I choose not to listen to the same thing as you. I'm tickled you are happy with your choices but that doesn't mean I have to listen to them to. It's time to let it go Rich. This is a peaceful board, don't muck up the waters.
