WDW Water!!!

[BarryHom]

I don't think anyone mentioned the fountain at Epcot where the kids play in. That is pure Evian!

 

[DisneyJen]

Just stopping in for a quick visit to make sure that you all are keeping up with the Research and Development in support of WDWWDS while I am off ... I think I need to get some water from the hydrotheraphy spa at Disney Institute or GF since my dear mother had such a rough night last night She had an allergic reaction to the pain medicine ... which caused her to break out in hives as well as nausea. I told her this morning that I would bring her some magic elixirs from our company so that she can be us and running ... okay maybe walking without a cane ... when we go to WDW in May.

Jas and I will work on the crisis management plan since I suspect we could have quite a run on all of our waters once words gets out ... which from a marketing perspective is a good problem along as we can keep up on demand.

O Great Founder, have we found a VP or Production and Inventory Control yet? Or a Director of Logistics? I will need to consult with these folks to make sure they can keep up as we unroll these products.

Thanks for the pixie dust ... please keep sending it this way. It goes great with the spa waters

Oh Exhaulted One! After reviewing DisJen's post I am suddenly aware of the sevearity of our staffing problem. I feel obligated to point out that I am a comptroller for a rather large local company with monthly sales in the millions of dollars. Now it's true, this company is for profit so I may not be completely qualified for the CFO position with WDWWDS. If not, check the Park Game thread, within the last 5 pages or so I do remember discussing accounting with someone....BRERALEX I think.

True, we could bribe the town's patriarch in order to more easily acquire "PoCade", but I fear we still may some need technical assistance to avoid the projectiles, blades, rolling pins, and bucaneers. Any suggestions KS Dave?....BTW, have you always had that orange tint to your pigmentation, or were you suffering from sunburn in that photo?

Yes Higgs22, it's a great show...care for a spinach puff? I have it on good authority that the members of WDWWDS will soon be forced to participate in the construction of something called WDWoldtimertopia.....it all hinges n Fantasmic water and the Powerball I believe.

 

[wdwoldtimer]

Guess who our new Director of Merchandising and Logistics is?? Drum roll.......

DisneyJen! Congratulations! You can multi-task until you find an assistant! We're all sure you can handle it. A-Dad you have been promoted to CFO but you still need to keep an eye on environmental and wildlife issues, we don't need the EPA and Greenpeace on our butts. Both of you put yourselves in for a 40% raise. (psst..that's not for taking on the greater responsibility by the way, it's for the "O Great Founder" and "Oh Exalted One" salutation.) Keep up the good work!!

Dave needs to come up with a PoCade harvesting suit, I agree.

Lots of PD to your Mom and to you and your family, DisneyJen!!!!!

I have returned from my brief absence - due to my procuring vials of water from various bodies of water at the Polynesian. KSDave must have been reading my mind. As VP of International Affairs, I found it appropriate to collect samples for submission to our brilliant Research Scientists for evaluation. I bring with me samples from both of the Poly Pools (some taken directly from the waterfall - stored separately from standard pool water), samples from each of the outdoor landscaping waterfalls as well as the lobby garden waterfall, and samples from the stream which runs behind the Poly. I did notice a hint of coconut and pineapple scent, as I scooped the water into vials (or maybe that was just what the ducks who swim in the stream and landscaped inlets left behind!). Looking forward to the assessment of these Polynesian treats!

Respectfully submitted,
Lisa / IASW Rider

Barry, welcome to our post! For those of you who do not know Barry, he is one of the gurus from the Universal board. Barry, maybe you can give us an idea if there are any special waters to be had at USF or IOA?

 

[ksdave]

amandadaddy, my pic shows what happens when you visit WDW too many times. It in't bad being orange, but the fur is murder here in KS during the summer .

I think a Kevlar diving suit should do the trick in PoC. Since the military uses Kevlar to stop bullets, it should stop those rusty old cannon balls the Buccaneers use. You could slip it under your clothes and slip out of the boat when it does the drop in the dark. Just collect your water and hop on the next available boat with an empty seat. Of course, the suit might itch a bit. And you'd have to do this during the winter months, as the suit would probably feel like a character suit during the summer (ouch).

IASW rider, thanks for getting the Poly water. Great minds think alike, right?

wdwoldtimer, guess neither one of us won the big one in Powerball. We'll have to try again Saturday for that prized life in Celebration.

The water in the Dueling Dragons pond is pretty tasty. Watch out for the dragons, though. I once took a refreshing sip out of the pond, stood up, and got zonked in the head by Ice Dragon.

At Sea World, the water at Shamu Stadium is pretty tasty. All you need to do is stand in the front row, open your mouth, and wait for Shamu to nail you with a volley.

 

[Higgs22]

I also want to welcome Barry...it's good to know that the WDWWDS has some new sources of water to tap...I will be dispatching a R & D team to US and IOA shortly...Hopefully, we'll have some results soon...but right now IOA look promisiong with the Hulk Coaster, Ripsaw Falls, and Dueling Dragons

dave..thanks for solving the PoC problem...do we have a marketing plan for tnat suit yet?

And wdwoltimer...or should I say Most Royal Exalted One..The Leader of Us All...thanks for clearing up the Fantasmic/Future Vision question...I for one will be looking for future lottery numbers to use the winnings for the good of the WDWWDS

Have a good one...

Hello All. First I want to give our DisneyJen many, many {{{{{HUGS}}}}} (pass some on to your mom from me).

I have a fact finding mission planned for next Saturday. I will be further scoping the security at Epcot to see if there needs to be any additional advisories. I wll also be talking to CMs about our need to access all of the waters. I will get with their people to insure safety for us and for the other guests when it comes to water consumption.

I may have to send out a crew to US/IOA in the near future if anyone is planning on going over there to partake of the waters.

This just in....Whoever is adding perservatives and flavorings to the jumping waters at Imagination, we are hot on your trail. I will not stand for water tampering.

As always, please report any problems you have had accessing any water supplies.

 

[wdwoldtimer]

Higgs, why don't you put yourself in for a raise as well? Whatever you feel is appropriate. And take a vacation day too.

Lisa, I need you to get over to DLP right away! You can tag along with Jen who's going to France already. We need to catalog and test the waters at the other Disparks. I also need you to act as liaison with Barry as you check out all those non-Disney parks. YOu'll need to coordinate with Higgs' and Jas' team too. We don't want them to bust their way in to US/IOA for water samples and rub the Universal folks the wrong way. How's your schmoozing skills? Geez, you're really busy....give yourself a raise too.

Dave, try to get Jas one of those Kevlar suits ASAP, she's been treading dangerous waters lately on some of her clandestine security missions. See if you can put an asbestos layer in the thing....she may come in contact with some fire too.

Jas after your Epcot visit I want you to take a day off too. You've been working many fronts...I can't have one of my key people getting burned out. In fact, stop by the GF and get yourself a full day of pampering at the spas. Just throw it all on your expense report and give it to A-Dad.

Ahh...I love being in charge....I should put myself in for a raise.

 

[Higgs22]

Thanks oldtimer!! I'll take the weekend to figure out how much to put in for
It is a pleasure serving under you....

BTW...Jasmime--if you have anything for the R & D department after your Epcot trip...let me know..I'll put a team right to work on it...

I just got great news this morning. After years of being the no-man's land for air fares, Wichita is finally getting a discount airline! AirTran starts flying here in May. Sooooo, it will only be about $200 roundtrip between here and the source of our wonderful waters, WDW!! Heck, I might be able to do a monthly long weekend at those rates.

 

[WDWCrazzyCunninghams]

KSDave,
We live in Charleston, WV....transplants from Cleveland Ohio.....well, we were looking into air for our June trip. If we flew out of Charleston or Cleveland it was going to be $250 each with a transfer in Atlanta. Well, after doing a bit of research, we were able to find that if we flew out of Akron/Canton....a small little airport 45 mins east of Cleveland, we could get a direct flight on AirTran for $175!!!! We are VERY happy about that! The only thing that made me hesitate is that AirTran used to be ValueJet....and they didn't have a good track record.
Best of luck finding that magical flight!

 

[Higgs22]

Now all I need is a cheap airline coming to Portland, Maine and I'll be happy...My water supply is running low...

 

[Miss Jasmine]

Wichita is finally getting a discount airline! AirTran starts flying here in May.

Airtran, you mean the successor to Value Jet? I need a meeting with the board of directors. I am not sure we can allow our WDWWDS members to fly on this airline.

 

[wdwoldtimer]

Well there IS Poland Springs in Maine, right Higgs? But I agree, no substitute for anything liquid from WDW.

 

[ksdave]

As someone who works in the aviation business, I can tell you that AirTran is nothing like ValueJet. They have a whole new management and have been under intense scrutiny for their maintenance practices since the Everglades incident.
Besides, any risk is worth it if it means a trip to WDW, right?
Unless our Marketing group has figured out a way to bottle the whole WDW experience, water and all!!

 

[WDWCrazzyCunninghams]

Thanks for the update KSDave!!! I feel better about our upcoming flight!! The travel agent that booked our flight said he loved AirTran and he didn't even know it had been ValueJet? I found that hard to believe. I had found the information on the internet. Again, thanks for putting my mind at ease!

 

[Miss Jasmine]

Okay, okay, if you all fell safe on AirTan, have at it. Please initial the forms before travelling and return them to my office. Just as an aside I am also in the aviation business but more administrative than technical. Anyway, I may be biased toward low-fare carriers. Sorry.

On to the water situation....The sabators have been captured and the jumping waters at Imagination are safe once again for consumption. It seems that an other Disney-related website (OT and DisneyJen knows who) is trying to infiltrate the society. We are now requiring background checks and fingerprints for all members. Please also include your web history for the last 30 days. Thank you for your continued cooperation as I try to keep our members and water safe.
