So a couple years ago before I knew how awful the Slackers were, and before they started getting such entitled attitudes about the parks (Remember how thrilled they were to stay on property for the first time?) I would always try to leave comments on their videos, reply to Jenn’s tweets, follow their IGs. Never got a reply, like acknowledgment etc. I just chalked it up to them being “busy”
Well surprise, surprise I left a comment on one of Nicole’s IG stories from her and Jim’s GKTW panel hosting duties just saying how nice it was to see them volunteering their time and working with GKTW so consistently. (I will admit it was a sly dig at their former “good friends”
She replied within 5 minutes, replied to me by name, thanked me for following/watching and elaborated on why they believe GKTW is so awesome. It was late in FL at the time, I’m sure she and Jim were tired from their duties all day and her she took the time to connect with me and highlight GKTW and how important it is to them to be able to give back.
I really hope GKTW and Disney take note of Jim and Nicole and work with them more often. They’re good reps, and part of creating engagement is connecting with people, not just replying to comments that kiss ass, or blocking/deleting banning comments/users that have anything less than positive to say.
Jim and Nicole have def proved (to me at least) they deserve to be known as so much more than “Our VEGAN friends”
