The DIS Unplugged #11 We're still exactly the same. Maybe worse, actually

[zumatree]

Was anyone here able to hunt down the TikTok that goes off about Craig that he mentions in the last quarter of the show? I am a terrible sleuth.

 

[Murray9000]

Ryno is choosing his co host it’s definitely gonna a they/them and I believe they said it’s a female so if it’s Erica that’s the chefs kiss of death to that channel.

"Early days of the Dis"? Not Erica.
Maybe someone transitioned.

 

[Murray9000]

Disney announced that they’re updating the DAS Pass system. I wonder if Erika will still be eligible for it?

Good question. But do cast members have to stand in the standby line?

Today on Patreon they announced they are piloting pre-recording the "live" shows and then will post them live on YouTube where users can chat with them.

I have thoughts about that. First of all, because Craig never has had non-sarcastic things to say to people. Also, the news will be outdated.

And no mention of John AT ALL since they have been in their studio for the last month or so.

They mentioned that idea a few weeks back as well. Live show for patrons then a scheduled YouTube premiere with live chat. The way they framed it at the time was that doing it this way would allow them to go back and add footage to support any unexpected tangents they went down in the live show and also that they'd all be in the live chat when the video premiered and that would let them all interact whereas in the live show they're focused on the tech and keeping the conversation moving vs. responding to the chat. I had the impression that there wouldn't be more than a day between the live show and the premiere with live chat so I don't know that the news will be terribly outdated. Now these were their ideas ... TBD on if/how they actually execute.

I'm curious - what else do they offer on Patreon other than the after show? I wonder if the "after show" will continue given the regular show will now be Patreon only in the livestream.

 

[What the What?!]

tbh I don't know who she is but Threads was talking about the 4 hour Galactic Star Cruiser video she did which is here. So I'm watching that but from what I gather she's an influencer, not sure how big in the community but just from the thumbnails of her videos she has several million views on them.

Wow! Thank you @ilovegrapes75. Several million views, huh? Quite impressive. Not sure if I have the attention span to watch a 4 hour Galactic Starcruiser video, especially since it is now closed. But good on her.

The arbitration order said they have 180 days, which would be September 2nd, or 30 days after completing arbitration to update the court- whichever comes first. I'm not sure if it's possible to petition for an extension. My guess would be PW tries to delay as much as possible. I have to say, I am curious as to where he is & what he's doing - did he go to rehab? Go on a bender? Is he in FL? NJ? Plotting a comeback?

hopefully plotting a comeback lol

There's an interesting new comment from user pwdebbie on the DIS Boards, which is part of the general discussion of Craig's leaving: " I stopped listening / watching in 2013 after sitting in Pizzafari next to a person who will not be named at the 15th anniversary of Animal Kingdom. His conversation on the phone was so disturbing, I never listened again until everything was revamped and restarted with said person no longer a part of the show. I'll miss Craig's presence but I wish all the best for him in his future. " Obviously it was Pete, has anyone heard this story before?

tell us

 

[ProfessorFate]

I feel like he’s that guy who just mows people down without a care…

He’s that guy you spread a bunch of gravel or rock salt out in front of.

 

[No Grifters Needed]

Does anyone know why he needs a scooter? Anything more than obesity?

It's hiding in plain sight in wonderful wiki. Don't forget to check it folks!

 

[OurTimeIsRunningOut]

God, if he goes to work at Imagineering and does multimedia production, that’d be rough to work there but not be able to call yourself an Imagineer. At least I’d go crazy if that were me.

 

[exdisfan]

On a separate note, I’m gradually getting into the DVC world (Not buying in, just staying in a villa on an upcoming trip because the price is right), and because I sure as hell aren’t giving Pete more screen time pre-ousting, what are some DVC alternatives?

 

[PoorKid]

FFS, where's the energy? When I was reading & watching all the news about Epic Universe this morning I was hyped. I was telling my daughter and husband to go online and check the Universal Orlando news out. This is going to really hurt Disney next year and further expose their aging FL parks

I thought they did the Epic Universe show this morning so went to check in on this afternoon's show to see if they were featuring their take on the competition to Disney and ... nope. They're "taking a break from Walt Disney World this week" to talk about Universal.

 

[kjo]

So I finally watched a whole show today not ONE Pete mention from anyone! @imjenilynn I’m so happy to hear that I really really hope he’s in Imagineearing as he loves Disney and all the details. Craig we are all so happy for you thank god you left that awful podcast and that anchor who holds you down Ryno.

I haven't watched in a while. Have they actually mentioned Pete in recent shows?

 

[Frankenweenie]

Unlike last year's annual report around this time last year, Pete is no longer listed as an officer/director of Dreams Unlimited Travel, Inc. It looks like the amended document was filed in October, but it may have been done earlier than that and just filed at that point. It also just may have taken that long for the particulars of his divestment to be ironed out.

Florida Corporations that still list our Peter Werner as an officer are Werner Travel Media LLC, Peter R Werner LLC, Moving to the Magic LLC, and Encanto Media LLC. The last one seems to be the only one that lists someone with Pete, a Federico Ardila-Garces, as an authorized member.

Yeah I posted that Pete was showing as officer in Sept 28 and they fix it on October but they don't read here.

 

[cavamom]

I found julie. She’s still there.

Where? Not under his name.

 

[imjenilynn]

Was cleaning out a drawer and found this from when we did a Trip episode on Capone’s. Thought everyone could use a laugh. This one’s on me. View attachment 2851341

Me and my husband randomly go to Capones like three times a year. It’s so messy and fun.

I was a waitress there named Moxie. Possibly the best job I ever had, and I say that even though I love the job I have now more than words can say.

 

[minniebby2]

take a look at this loser swimming alone (in his t shirt) while his wife is at home alone taking care of their newly born son

 

[ProfessorFate]

Interestingly, Pete still hasn't unloaded any of his Aulani points. I think he's unloaded all of his WDW contracts, but not Aulani.

 

[ProfessorFate]

He's already done enough unloading at Aulani, don't you think?

Well, he took his mom that one time, so that may have been a cock block...

 

[kjo]

If that was the case, then grammatically, it should be “Let’s win at Disney!” (like ‘Let’s win at chess”), if we’re using “Disney” as the proper noun referring to a game. Which is stupid and literally the only time I’ve ever heard the word used in that context.

If “Disney” is being used as a proper noun referring to an object that is being offered as a prize “Let’s win theme park tickets!”, that’s stupid as well because Disney isn’t being offered as some prize by DFB.

I respect your grammar prowess.
