Quick story: I sat next to a VP of marketing for Disney flying LAX-MCO in FC on a L-1011 weeks before Universal Orlando was to open. He was fine for about two hours into the flt. He than opened DL Sky magazine and flipped out. He used every word Disney would not be proud of. F*** DL. POS DL (not person of size). Etc, etc. This went on for a few mins and I asked him what was the problem.
He said that DL was the Official Airline of WDW and Disneyland in CA. DL Sky magazine ran a 8-10 page full color flip out ad for Universal Orlando in that issue. He was livid.
He soon cooled off and we talked the rest of the flight - - -
DL was no longer the official airline for Disney soon after. - - -
Have a great weekend everyone!

I have had many many trips to SNA LAX all with the purpose of seeing
NOT ONLY WDW Disneyland as well as Universal Studios and Knotts Berry
Farm and other assorted Hollywood stuff and 6 Flags Magic Mountain.
In no way is my primary interest in Disneyland alone.
At my age now Disneyland is sort of meaningless and terribly expensive.
My best times were when Kaiser Permanente or the US Navy would buy the
Park out on a weekend day/night for use of those organizations employees
and US Government guests.
No crowds and fare was perfect.
Sadly when the park is full it is not a pleasant experience !
Been to Orlando a few times and sorry kids it is pretty much the same-o-same-o !
Eastern Airlines was the host to the Disney stuff until it flew off into the sunset !
Eastern was more closely affiliated with Disney than Delta and Delta inherited
all lot problems from Eastern with its demise.
