Now THIS is what Disney is about - the kids. For once I am glad at least a bit of my money that I spend here and at WDW every year still goes to the real vision of Walt Disney and thats to bring joy and happiness into the world - and to this child who in this case deserves something special :)

As much as I've seeen Disney work more and more like any other company in recent years, it is good to see things like this can still happen from the 'place where dreams come true' :D

Couldnt agree more, well said Max.



Anyone know when this is on?

Chris 10-27-2008 12:08 AM

Evil Kid Bugs 10-27-2008 12:37 AM

If they really wanted to give him a "taste of pirate magic", they should have made the little landlubber walk the plank...

Can't walk? That's what keel-haulin's for!

arrr-ooo!

Chris 10-27-2008 12:43 AM

Wow tough EKB mainly for someone who has Hello Kitty as their hero.

Evil Kid Bugs 10-27-2008 01:04 AM

Hello Kitty? Never heard of it, I had to look it up...

Hello Kitty is a friendly white kitty with the head larger than her body, small button eyes and nose, but no mouth

hmmm, sounds like a good idea, cats that automatically starve to death unless fed intravenously. I wonder where the hair-balls come out?

Chris 10-27-2008 01:06 AM

ROFL! EKB your hilarious!

Anyway his room was amazing! They got all this cool pirate stuff and mad his desk like the captains quarters and he has like 100 inch computer screen to play POTCO! (it looks like a LCD Projector) :D

SangrelX 10-27-2008 01:09 AM

He also has a Character now in game named after him

Captain Job

Chris 10-27-2008 01:12 AM

Yea watch out! Arrrrg!

Erich Uchiha 10-27-2008 01:25 AM

Let the hunt begin to look for Captain Job!
I looked for him on DXD but I coulden't find him wierd

Chris 10-27-2008 01:34 AM

Not sure he may not be registered yet but from what i saw on TV that didnt look like POTCO it looked like a program made just for the show.

swashbuckler II 10-27-2008 01:45 AM

Yeah it hasnt aired yet in some parts of US lol

Maximvs 10-27-2008 01:50 AM

*aww now I gotta put my pen away again.... ;)*

Every year that I can afford to - I take the family, pack the car and drive the 2016 miles (thats about 3220kms for us Canadian folk ;) ) to Walt Disney World for December - just to remove us from the chaos of the world today and try to live a piece of happiness... (then drive that all the way home when it ends... its a long drive home...)

And everytime I walk down Main Street, looking at the big Castle, I become 16 all over again - ready to ride Space Mountain, ready to see Mickeys ToonTown, and ready to sail off to adventure on Pirates :D

I understand that Disney has to keep making money, the shareholders demand it - business commands it... but they more than any other company have to look at what they are delivering - a vision, a dream, a world where there is no pain, no suffering and everyday starts with joy.

I would hope that in such a world, this vision of what they represent is not lost. The challenge is double for them - be a business, bring dreams to life... the two usually don't mix in the world we live in today.

I'm critical of them at times, but not because I'm a cranky old guy (I don't believe), not because hex is that important or that KingsHead should have the fence... quiet the opposite actually :D I do it because I know there are many kids who play their worlds which they create, live their fantasys, and by-gosh I want them to get it right... I want kids to have fun and NOT struggle as much as I have both in the real world - and this one we live in which is POTCO :)

I do this so when my daughter gets older and moves on with her life she also strives to hold onto a piece of that dream, the world which we strive for can come true if we all including Disney work at it...

... and maybe she will return with her children to continue living the dream - I can only hope :)

... and I'm so jealous of that kids room at the moment LOL :D
