On to the next one...

Spring break is quickly coming to a close. The theme parks will hit a small lull before the summer crowds start arriving in the City Beautiful. Can't wait to get back in the parks. Not many new things popping up, but I feel the need to get out there and film.

While on the topic of Disney. The parks. The online community and what not.

Im realistic and I know not many people read this blog. I just wanted to touch on the whole Mongello and his tour fiasco. If you don't know what I am talking about, Lou Mongello, host of the WDW Radio Show and author of numerous Walt Disney World trivia books, started a new venture. He is offering guided tours of the Magic Kingdom, telling stories, pointing out little nuances, for a nominal(yet, pricey) fee.

If you want more info on his tours, please check out www.LouMongello.com

Many people think that it is their duty to try and publicly humiliate Lou and detract people from wanting to use his service. Lou has been under attack on Twitter, mostly from the WDWNT(Walt Disney World News Today), from people using a hash tag "StupidTours", and calling Lou a thief.

Leave Lou alone. The constant attacking just shows me that you are jealous, and wish you came up with the idea. If you dont want to use the service, leave it at that. No need to try and get a campaign going to shut him down, or publicly embarrass him. He's got a new idea, and he has the right to try and play it out. It disgusts me the way some people are so easily brainwashed to help slander a fellow human being for no good reason.

I was going to discuss other things in this post, but I honestly got myself a little worked up, and will have to continue a little later.

Be safe out there kiddies.

Give your momma a kiss

  2. I agree!! I think its very sad that for a community built around one mans ideals of having what I would describe as a family feel to it there are alot of haters out there. And whats even sadder is their poison seems to infect others they are involved with (watching one person on twitter who I thought was a decent chap being involved in nastyness was a shock - they I saw who he was pally with and it all made sense). I have never met Lou in person, only interacted with him through the wonders of the interwebs, but as a fan I enjoy what he does - all of it! He has always responded if I have sent him a message, and puts such a lot into the Disney community, and he is the main reason I found the online community in the first place! I think the tour is a great idea for those that can afford it (and if the price was shared between 6 didnt it make it more reasonable?) Im glad you spoke up for him Mikey, so many people dont have the courage of their convictions
