DaveInTN 3,247 Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 There used to be a similar situation at WDW. There was a group of people with lime green Mickeys who felt threatened by some folks with purple flamingos. It got pretty ugly for a while, but eventually things settled down. The flamingo people are still around, but no one has seen a lime Mickey in years. Avatab.... Steve, BradyBzLyn...Mo and momof3kids-Yvonne 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cortezcapt (Derek) 156 Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 "In a lawsuit obtained by The Los Angeles Times, John Sarno, 44, the head of the Main Street Fire Station 55 club, alleges that he was threatened by the head of the White Rabbits over his club's plan to host a charity walk on the premises. Sarno claimed that members of the White Rabbits, including Jakob Fite threatened him by saying he would have to pay them $500 to ensure 'protection' for the people taking part in the walk. "If he refused, he claims Fite told him he would never get in to the park again"." I don't know how often or what the criteria might be for banning someone from the parks but I would think naming Disney in a lawsuit would be a quick way to get banned. Therefore possibly making the "threat" come through on their own. So are Jen and Mo working on designs for our cut off Jean jacket vests with snarky on them? Can we get enough fiends together to take over a monorail car for a resort bar crawl? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

"members of the White Rabbits, including Jakob Fite threatened him by saying he would have to pay them $500 to ensure 'protection' for the people taking part in the walk. " The guy's name is Fite?

There will be a secret handshake and after you survive the initiation of riding its a small world 37 times in a row, you will be issued your weapon - a stale churro. Oh and I think we may have already pulled off your second question during Wild Womenz Weekend. There might even be pictures... but I can't show them to you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
