Going to Disney World–printing stickers to leave around the park ...

[FlemingsGhost]

What should they say?

[lala_rawraw]

1. Treason

[bryant69]

2. What's the goal?

I mean are you hoping to make people uncomfortable or unhappy at Disneyland? Or are you hoping to make them think a little? Or what?

Actually something light and fun might just be Homer Simpson's quote from the Simpsons this week. The whole thing.

7. what was the quote?

I was completely distracted during this week's episode.

[dddem]

3. I saw this on a car once

"I support Disney Family Values - When you wish upon a star, makes NO DIFFERENCE who you are."
BTW - Have a lot of fun!

[ohioliberal]

6. That's a great one..need to design it n/t

[Dr Ron]

4. Don't bother

Disney World's not the place for that sort of thing. Even if you tried, they are very well staffed and I bet anything you leave will disapear before hardly anyone sees it.

[newscott]

8. I'm also willing to bet they will probably find you doing it.

[FlemingsGhost]

9. Love your can-do attitude.

:hi:

[lies and propaganda]

38. I love anything of this sort....

I wrote "Regime Change begins At Home" in every single public restroom I went in on a road trip we were taking from Phx to NOLA and back.
The bathrooms in Texas got a little extra TLC.

[Dr Ron]

51. Based upon experience

I've been to Disney World nine times and know it well. They run a very tight organization there. Besides the obvious large number of employees (or cast members in Disney lingo) who are all over, there are also a large number of ones just mixed into the crowds.

[babylonsister]

5. Here's a load of ideas!

[FlemingsGhost]

10. Thanks babylonsister ("shake it ...") n/t

Flem.

[Kerrytravelers]

11. We do something similar at amusement parks

(including a Disney one) It's effective.

I'll PM you with the details. Independent action is what awakes the masses. At parks like this, you will reach a wide audience. Quite frankly, when American soldiers are dying for the greed of a few, no one should forget, I don't care where they are.



Edited to add:

Leave small slips of paper in the bathrooms, rolled into the toilet paper and in the seat dispensers. You have a captive audience that way. There are no cameras in the stalls. Most other places have cameras, so don't waste the time or the possibility to be caught.

[FlemingsGhost]

12. Thanks, "kerrytravelers." Great idea!

Cheers!

[Kerrytravelers]

21. I wouldn't use stickers, though.

It could be considered vandalism. Use small slips of paper. That way there is no damage to property.

I missed the sticker part the first time I read your post!

[babylonsister]

13. We can ALL do that! I use a public bathroom a few

times a week; ah, brilliant! I'll be printing the text and stashing some tape in my purse ASAP! Thanks!

[catnhatnh]

14. Not to be a bastard...

..but people take their families there to ESCAPE reality...They are also americans and have a right to do so if they wish.For some this is a once in a lifetime experience and quite frankly, you intend to piss in their soup.You will make not convert one but may cause hostility or take from anothers enjoyment...I'm as liberal as many here but this smells of sophmoric hijinks that may infringe on someones dream vacation....(flamesuit on)...sorry

[FlemingsGhost]

18. Who said my intent was to "piss in their soup?"

Define "reality." How does one escape it?

[catnhatnh]

26. Well....

...you are asking for suggestions on what to print on stickers and are being advised as to how to avoid security cameras that among st other things are there to stop people from posting stickers...that's pissing in their soup...And while reality is harder to define,thinking that irritating a few republicans will introduce a new paradigm of political discussion ain't it...

[Kerrytravelers]

19. I'm not flaming, but I simply disagree.

Quite frankly, there are people who wear pro-war and I love * t-shirts all over the place. They get their message out. When do we? Certainly not through the corporate media. I never say you Republicans are killing people, all * voters are terrorists. Nothing like that. Only the current casualty count and the fact that our "great leaders" haven't gone to a funeral. I never put opinions on their- just facts. They can not deny the numbers.

You know, I am so pissed, I'm not too concerned about pissing in someone's Cherrios. Maybe I'm being selfish, but the simple numbers need to get out. A sophmore hijink would be to take a big pen and vandalize or start a peace rally in the middle of an amusement park, or stage some sort of sit-in. That would be a hijink- maybe throwing a pie or salad dressing on the conservatives. Just leaving a slip of information is quite the opposite.

Like I said, I'm not flaming, but explaining why I disagree.

[chaska]

15. They should be anti-Dem ... nobody will appreciate your stickers intruding

on their vacation. Better to hurt the bad guys. Reverse psychology, you know.

[Bluebear]

16. Just go enjoy your vacation & forget about this crap for a while!

That's my prescription.

[UdoKier]

17. Don't bother.

DIsney is famed for their cleaning crew. They will be down within an hour or less. Don't waste your effort.

Plastering them around the dullsville that is greater Orlando would be okay.

Maybe Bartcop's "Worst President Ever" sticker?



He'll give you some for a donation...

[Kerrytravelers]

20. That is why I never tape things up, but rather put them where

a random wisitor will come across them.

And I always steer clear of sarcasm. Just the factual numbers.

[FlemingsGhost]

22. What if the facts were comparable to Disney experiences ...

For instance--off the top of my head--body counts, money spent on Iraq, etc. are framed by Disney attendance, revenue, the number of people waiting in line at any given moment etc.


(on edit: typo)

[Kerrytravelers]

28. I've never thought of that. I leave my numbers everywhere...

grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants, movie theaters... everywhere. I just go with a straight number and that way I don't have to spend the time figuring out all the compartive statistics.

A friend of ours and fellow swing state worker started doing this during the campaign. He spread the idea out and now I can name about 50 people involved with our groups or friends of ours who do the same thing.

I rpint out maybe 20 and leave them around in a day... if even that many. Sometimes, I leave more if I'm going to a heavily rethuglian area. You never know who reads them. Fence-sitters, people who voted for but are now unhappy with * and also other people like us who are offended by the very thought of *. They may just copy the idea and leave the numbers places they go.

For me, personally, it's all about the numbers. I stay far away from sarcasm and hateful remarks. I just go for the numbers.

[Redstone]

23. So why, specifically, do you want to ruin other people's vacations?

If you don't like Disney, then don't fucking go to Disney World.

That's not the place for you to impose your opinions on other people who are just trying to have a good time with their kids.

Jesus fucking Christ, there are some thngs that are more important than political opinions. Like the right of other people to not be slapped in the face with yours, when they're just trying to take a vacation.

Redstone

[FlemingsGhost]

24. Thank you for your opinion.

Given your tone, I don't feel particularly compelled to answer your question.

[Redstone]

27. Because, or course, you reserve the right to disrupt

other people's vacations, because your political opinions are the most important thing on the planet.

It's a damn safe bet that I agree with your politics (or I wouldn't be here at DU), but I don't believe in arguing those politics in a manner that has a negative impact on other people's recreation.

You see, I have respect for other peoples' feelings, and wouldn't want to bother them while they're taking a hard-earned vacation.

Maybe I'm old-fashioned that way, having respect for other people, but so it goes. Go ahead and do what you want to, because you're more modern and hip than I am, and I understand that you don't subscribe to those old-fart concepts like civility and community and manners. It's OK.

Redstone

[FlemingsGhost]

29. That "old fashioned" respect and civility sounds a lot like ...

sarcasm and patronization, to me.

But so it goes.

[theboss]

50. So, you are in favor of anti-abortion activist papering your home?

Or covering your office with flyers?

If we lose civility, it becomes a pretty shitty place to live.

[recoveringrepublican]

47. hmm too bad Iraqis and our soldiers can't have their vacations

"ruined". pfffffffft At the weekly cornering I go to people are always saying bullshit like that "We just want to see a movie, we shouldn't have to put up with the likes of you" crap. I call bullshit. There are too many people having their entire LIVES "ruined" because of our actions, because of our tax dollars, because half of this country truly doesn't give a shit. Why should I give a shit if they come back to their car after their kids threw up overpriced corndogs and be forced to face the reality? How many Iraqi and American children won't be going to Disney World with their parents? Hell, how many children are six feet under right now?

[tx_dem41]

49. Winning friends and influencing people.

Hmmm...maybe there are better ways. In fact, I know there are.

[paineinthearse]

25. Piss on me, I'm pissing on you!

Remember *'s trip to Europe? This is how they greated him....

[global1]

30. Little Slips of Paper That Read "Visit www.downingstreetmemo.com.....

I like the idea of leaving slips of paper in the toilet paper rolls and the seat covers in the bathroom - not only in Disney World but all over the country. Disney has security camera's all over the place. They'll catch you anywhere except in the johns.

Something that just says "Visit www.downingstreetmemo.com" will pique many people's interest. When they get home they will look for it on the internet and be told about how *Co doctored the intelligence to go to war. If our MSM won't tell or print the truth - we have to get it out there anyway we can.

All DU'er's should do this in toilets all over the country - in malls, gas stations, church's, grocery and department stores, etc.

[FlemingsGhost]

31. Web links is a good idea!

Thanks, global.

[Kerrytravelers]

37. Excellent idea.

Just one line with nothing political.

I might start doing this. Thank you.

[Roland99]

32. Support Our Troops...Impeach Bush

[The Straight Story]

33. Jesus loves you - convert to my beliefs

sorry, just had to do that :)

They should say: "Here is what I believe, and why" followed by what you think they should learn.

[Scout1071]

34. I would not recommend leaving stickers.

I agree with posters above - people go to DisneyWorld to escape reality. Wear a t-shirt with your message, but don't damage the park. Employees work hard to keep it cleaner than any other amusement park in the world.

[FlemingsGhost]

36. Where do Iraqis go to "escape reality?"

Oh, right. A sandy grave.

[theboss]

48. I really hate this kind of intrusive activism

I always tell the story of how Clinton spoke at my college commencement in '96. Gorgeous day. Lovely little speech. My buddy was salutatorian and gave a speech where he teased Clinton in Latin. And Clinton got the joke. And then, we did the high point of the ceremony where we march through the gate that no undergraduate walks through because legend says you will not graduate if you do. My best female friend and I hold hands as we do it. And march right into a bunch of pictures of aborted fetuses. Absolutely ruined the experienced. And made me even more pro-choice than before simply because I wanted those assholes to lose for having the gall to intrude on my day like that.

It also taught me that it's probably not wise to anger people if you want to bring them to your side.

[Scout1071]

35. I would not recommend leaving stickers.

[Lannes]

45. Good Point

Besides they will go back over surveillance tapes and see who was at the locations where it happened and maybe put your face all over their Disney owned ABC stations.Not sure if you want that.

[Llewlladdwr]

39. Wow....

How incredibly freakin' lame....maybe you'll get really lucky and make a five year old cry. Loser.

[Kerrytravelers]

44. 5 year olds do not have a comprehension level to understand what is being

said. I'm a teacher who has taught 5 year olds. They won't get it.

Their parents will.

[LightningFlash]

40. May not be the best idea...

Leave it on car windshields and print out a bunch of stickers, but I wouldn't put it on their property. Police could even consider that vandalism and defamation. They have actually arrested people for pasting up anti-bush pieces lately.

[Kerrytravelers]

41. I'd be careful about cars. Too much of a chance someone will see you.

Never use stickers. That could be construed as vandelism. Little slips of paper is better.

42. What exaclty is the point of this exercise?

A. I doubt anyone is going to be happy to have politics intrude on their vacation.
B. It's Disney World. If you drop a napkin, they send in a HazMat team within 30 seconds.
