February 27 – March 6, 2010 FDCC Winter Meeting 2010 February 27 – March 6, 2010 ©Disney Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa Walt Disney World ®, Florida “We have always tried to be guided by the basic idea that in the discovery of knowledge there is great entertainment.” –Walt Disney Dear Friends, The scales of justice have been out of whack for some time now and we would like your help in bringing things back into balance. Haven’t you felt it? Too much time is spent checking our emails and not enough time riding the monorails! What happened to all those things we dreamed of doing as children . being splashed by a whale, flying on a magic carpet, or winning the family cannonball contest? It is with this desire to put the fun back into our busy lives that we invite you to come be a part of our 2010 FDCC Winter Conference in Disney World where we will work hard and play harder! You and your family will have the opportunity to explore four theme parks, delight in delectable restaurants, and enjoy ©Disney accommodations in Disney’s most luxurious and conveniently located hotel—The Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. The Grand (as the Disney folks call it) is a classical, Victorian-style hotel that offers all the charm of southern hospitality, along with the elegance and superior amenities that have made Disney famous. This magnificent hotel sits along the white-sand shores of Seven Seas Lagoon, and is one monorail stop from the Magic Kingdom theme park and a short walk to the Polynesian Resort and Spa. Our hard-working president and first lady, Mike and Jenny Lucey, and your fun loving convention chairs, Robbie and Lib Foster, have planned a conference that will pamper, relax, excite, and educate you . all wrapped up in the warmth of the FDCC family we love so much. Vicki Roberts, our program chair, has planned an illuminating and provocative, education-filled week of CLE and entertainment—David Maister, Trial Masters 2010, Bud Krogh (Watergate fame), and much, much more. Activities begin with early week cocktail receptions around the wonderful Grand Floridian marina, pools, and white sand beaches. Once the full conference activities start on Tuesday, buckle up and prepare for even more fun and excitement. A Great Gatsby President’s Reception, an Indiana Jones spectacular theme party (yes, we will rent out part of the Hollywood Studies Theme Park – WOW is the word), our first-ever FDCC Fashion Show, golf, fishing tournament, behind the scenes Disney tour, and much more. There will be plenty of time for families to explore the Disney parks on their own. We have arranged professional Disney personnel to help you with all your Disney planning needs and desires. Some very exciting youth activities are scheduled during the evenings, so make sure to bring the entire family. And for those who may be a little Mickey phobic, fear not, you can live the Grand life right where you are; a relaxing full-service spa and salon, fitness center, tennis courts, golf courses, marina for boating activities right on site, daily entertainment in the lobby, three luxurious swimming pools, and even a white beach with cabanas are yours for the asking. So, please join us in this week-long adventure of fun with friends and your entire family to return balance to lady justice . and prove once and for all, FDCC can Work Hard and Play Harder!

  • The Disney Bloodline
    Get Your Free 150 MB Website Now! THE SKILL OF LYING, THE ART OF DECEIT The Disney Bloodline The Illuminati have refined the art of deception far beyond what the common man has imagined. The very life & liberty of humanity requires the unmasking of their deceptions. That is what this book is about. Honesty is a necessary ingredient for any society to function successfully. Deception has become a national pastime, starting with our business and political leaders and cascading down to the grass roots. The deceptions of the Illuminati's mind-control may be hidden, but in their wake they are leaving tidal waves of distrust that are destroying America. While the CIA pretend to have our nations best interest at heart, anyone who has seriously studied the consequences of deception on a society will tell you that deception will seriously damage any society until it collapses. Lies seriously damage a community, because trust and honesty are essential to communication and productivity. Trust in some form is a foundation upon which humans build relationships. When trust is shattered human institutions collapse. If a person distrusts the words of another person, he will have difficulty also trusting that the person will treat him fairly, have his best interests at heart, and refrain from harming him. With such fears, an atmosphere of death is created that will eventually work to destroy or wear down the cooperation that people need. The millions of victims of total mind- control are stripped of all trust, and they quietly spread their fears and distrust on a subconscious level throughout society.

    DISCOVER THE SOPHISTICATED SIDE OF WALT DISNEY WORLD® RESORT Is it possible for sophisticated travelers to really enjoy themselves in the land of Mickey Mouse? Absolutely! Walt Disney World Resort has undergone an amazing transformation with an abundance of fantastic themed resorts and sumptuous dining choices. Maybe your image of Disney is of lackluster, motel-style accommodations. Not so! All of Disney’s Deluxe Resort choices are unique and offer that special Disney touch. You’ll find them to be adorned with impressive lobbies, painstakingly landscaped grounds, first-rate restaurants, elaborately themed pools, and gracious accommodations. All offer top-notch recreational facilities and services. In fact it can be quite difficult to choose which fantasy you wish to indulge. Let me tell you about my favorites: v Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, with its red-gabled roofs and Victorian elegance, draws inspiration from the grand Florida seaside “palace hotels” of 19th- century America’s Gilded Age. Just a short monorail ride to the Magic Kingdom®, it spreads along the shore of the Seven Seas Lagoon with spectacular views of Cinderella Castle and the Wishes fireworks show. Aquatic enticements include a crescent white sand beach dotted with brightly striped, canopied lounge chairs, a large sophisticated pool in the central courtyard, a new beachside Florida springs-style pool, and a classy marina sporting a wide assortment of watercraft. A full service health club and spa, tennis courts, 5 restaurants, two lounges, and sophisticated shopping round out the list of exceptional offerings. v A navy blue blazer should be in order for a stay at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort where guests find the sophisticated ambience of a posh Eastern seaboard hotel of the 1880s.

  • A Lighter Shade of Green: Reproducing Nature in Central Florida
    A Lighter Shade of Green: Reproducing Nature in Central Florida Kevin Archer University of South Florida Imagineering Nature Sorkin and others have recently described contemporary social and material developments as just so many "variations on the theme park" ideal (Sorkin 1992). This "theming" of everyday life is understood as relating directly to the transition from an industrial to a post-industrial society. Changes in the dominant forms of material production have led to what Lash and Urry (1994: 15) call the increasing "aestheticization of material objects," or the "increas­ ing sign value" of goods and services in post-industrial society. Image has become an increasingly important source of value, particularly in information rich, service-based economies. How well products, services, and even places are "imagineered" (in Disney parlance) for exchange is of ever greater concern in the quest for economic viability. A similar process of imagineering is rapidly becoming the most dominant aspect of the human-nature nexus. This is particularly so in post-industrial societies like the United States where most people's lived experience lacks any direct contact with non-human nature other than in the process of consumption or in the role of spectator. The model of this post-industrial relationship with nature is not the farm, mine, or industrial site but, rather, the garden, where nature is produced not so much to yield a material surplus but, rather, an aesthetic. symbolic one. The present argument is somewhat different from the one put forth recently by Cronen concerning the growing number of wilder­ ness buffs in post-industrial societies.

  • A Look Back at a Year for the Ages!
    A LOOK BACK AT A YEAR FOR THE AGES! winter 2016 • Volume 25 • Number 4 I recently met some seasoned travelers who treat Walt Disney World Resorts as second homes, returning year after year and passing down their vacation traditions from generation to generation. They receive world-class service from dedicated Cast Members despite no cash changing hands at the end of their stay, and while they’re here, they make a lot of babies. Wait, you thought I was talking about Members? Sorry, I should’ve clarified. I’m talking about birds – purple martins, to be specific. Each year, these agile aerial acrobats fly more than 3,000 miles from the Brazilian Amazon to Walt Disney World Resort, where they settle into specially created accommodations perched on pedestals before finding mates and…well…you know the rest. You can learn more about these curious creatures through the latest installment of our “Quiz Ed” feature on pages 7-8. I mention the birds here because, like many stories in the pages ahead, theirs is as much about where they’re going as where they’ve been. Our community hasn’t just celebrated the past 25 years in 2016; we’ve celebrated 25 years and beyond. So where does Membership Magic go in that great “beyond?” For starters, it sees some of the most popular elements of our 25th anniversary celebration continue in the New Year (pages 3-4), it sees Members sail the Rhine in distinctive fashion (pages 5-6) and it sees one of the most beloved resorts in our neighborhood blaze new trails through the wilderness (page 9).
