Lutz the Klutz

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. This dude has got people wrapped around his little nerd fingers. How many times has Al actually gotten things right, without having to go back, and revise what he originally said? It's starting to annoy people. I understand that with Disney, things are always subject to change, but when someone states something as fact, or comes across that way, and then it changes, it leaves that person standing there looking like a complete fool. For example, the showpass. I'm pretty sure Disney would have come out by now saying this is what we're doing with the guests, in order to get most of us ready for it. Most people will need some explaining, even with a new name. People don't normally think it's the same concept as fastpass. They hear "showpass", and think it's some new concept, when in reality, it's the same as a fastpass for a ride.

A lot of the stuff this dude comes up with is clever, but I really doubt most of it's going to come true. I'd probably start to trust him a little bit more if he stated upfront that this is what I have heard, until we see fact and evidence from Disney themselves, take it for what it's worth. But nope. This dude comes across with his monthly newsletters as fact, and it will happen. That's why I trust Blue Sky Disney so much more, because they're upfront about things. Honor Hunter and his crew of miscreants release info about things and state that its something that could be coming, but we have to wait and see if it does or not.
Its a no harm no foul deal with them. But it seems to me that Al states things, then it doesn't happen, and he has to go back and cover his tracks.
I guess it doesn't matter in the end, because Disney's going to do what they do best: creating magic. And the fans that be, will stand on the sidelines and over analyze, and criticize their every move.

Finally, someone agrees with me on Al. I'm a CM (and also a MiceChatter even though I'm never really on it as much as I used to be) and everything I'm reading about he's almost correct, but most of the time he's off. I feel the same way about MousePlanet. I too also enjoy reading Blue Sky Disney. It's a great website
