Disney Is Trying To Shut Down The Disney Experience!

[Club 33]

Now it's time, to say goodbye,

To all our lawyer fees.

C-O-P, Y-R-I, R-I-G-H-T


That's right folks. This was just posted by Trader Sam over at The Disney Experience:

Now It's Time to Say Goodbye . . . (added April 1)

It's finally happened; Disney is trying to shut me down. Apparently, they don't like the amount of copyrighted material that is currently being used in the Disney Experience, particularly all of the Disneyland 50th material (seems they want to keep that part of the market to themselves). Unless I can come up with an alternate site design that uses completely original graphics, I'm gonna have to say goodbye.

If I do come up with something (I'm sure I can), I'll still have to figure out what to do with the content. A lot of it will have to be scaled back and/or removed entirely. My main concern are the wallpapers, icons, and mouse cursors, since they typically depict Disney characters (copyright issues).

Check the Disney Experience and/or newsletter further information.

Sad, Sad, Sad. Any thoughts?

Oh come on, this is really bad, he has a terrific Site and it is not at all negative.
I love the stories from families and castmembers. He had an excellent Haunted Mansion Site going for a while.

This is one of the Top Disney sites that I have ever seen.
Better then the DL Site.
Blood Sucking Lawyers!!!

this is horrible, I loved that site so much.

Disney's paranoid! It's just a fan site! They should be glad they still have fans >.<

Well, the site isn't gone, he'll just have to make some changes.

Disney should learn from lucas arts. As long as you are not making a profit George Lucas doesn't care if you use his copyrighted materials. He understands that you should let the fans embrace your creation.

This is an Outrage, Disney has gone WAY too far with this, I for one will never visit a Disney Park ever again!
Curious date don'tcha think?

[Modern Folly]

Wouldn't this be hilarious if it were an April Fools Joke?

[DisquietingMetamorphosis]

how ridiculous! TDE is one of the best Disney fansites! Disney Co. is jealous because this site offers desktop freebies and activities that they don't bother to compete with and provide on their own site.

Yay, I win! Wait no, how did you figure it out, do you have a newsletter or something? Cause I don't.

He put April Fool!! in the same color as the background so that you cant see it. When I looked at in in my aggregator (thunderbird) I could see it.

[Modern Folly]

What a great joke, good thing it was, I don't have to look for my hanging rope.

[Club 33]

Mods, I think you can close this thread now. Or at least put an "April Fool" in the title.
