Standing Ovation for Pete!

[LudwigVB]

I just started the podcast, and I was literally moved to stand up while listening to Pete's impassioned response (it deserves more credit than calling it a "rant").

Bravo, sir!

 

[NWOhioAngela]

Preach on, Brother Pete!

 

[Cyrano]

Welcome to the congregation

[zulemara]

I agree entirely. Well said Pete

 

[DisneyDayTripper]

Pete put to words what many of us feel regarding the program. Thanks Pete!

i am glad that you said what you did. the only thing i wish you could have done differently would be to not sign up for it. i know that you have a show to run and need to report to everyone, but signing up just shows Disney that people are interested in it. this makes it appear to be a success instead of a failure for them.

Personally I was hoping for some sort of patriotic "Battle Hymn of the Republic" or even "Golden Dreams" playing in the background during the rant. At the very least I was picturing Pete doing his best Bobby Knight impression throwing a chair around the room.

The show WAS worth the wait, as if they had to ask. I couldn't stop giggling during the last couple of segments because it became such a typical free-for-all snarkfest.

Pete you are Da Man. Good show . Thanks to your rant I will NOT sign up for D23. I will save my $75 for something else

 

[simonkodousek]

Rock on Pete!

Pete,
To me the best part was you ability to switch gears from the rant and then acknowledge the exemplary talent at Disney Cruise Line. Your passion was clear both when they do it right and when they do it DOA23.

Thank goodness I am not alone! I don't have a bluetooth but I was wishing I did because I kept talking to my ipod in my car this morning and I just know the people passing me on the highway thought I was nuts. I could not agree more with what was said. While I am intrigued with the history of Disney and am fascinated with learning more about Walt, the big draw for myself and my family are the parks and resorts. I would love a program that takes into account the guests like us who, like Pete said, really LOVE the parks and share that love with our friends, family, co-workers, and basically anyone who will stand still long enough to listen to us ramble on about Disney.

I spit my dr pepper everywhere when I read this. I totally thought the same thing.

Here in Australia they want another $65 to send it ontop of the $75 to sign up. Amazon can sent stuff here for $15, why does disney have to use such an expensive way? I could buy around 20 dvds here in Australia for the price of one membership sent to Australia

Go Pete! You have hit the nail right on the head for me.

 

[pit303]

Pete you are 100% correct you said what alot of us have been feeling for a long time

 

[aspen37]

Good job Pete!

 

[jen3003]

Pete, loved the "rant" about the D23 club. You are 100% correct.
Just know that we are all behind you on this!!!!

 

[redrosesix]

Thanks Pete. Disney will never hear what we said when we first read about D23 -- they'll hear you, though (I hope). You can speak for me anytime.
