From the Bob Barley studio in Orlando, Florida, you're listening to the Dizz Unplugged.

Hello and welcome to the Dizz Unplug roundtable discussion for March 4th, 2009, an unofficial and unbiased look at all things Disney.

From Orlando, Florida, I'm your host Pete Werner. Join this week by my good friends, Kathy Whirling, Corey Morton, Walter Eccles, Kevin Close, and John Meijai.

Teresa Eccles is back in the peanut gallery. On this week's show, John Meijai and Kevin Close will have part two of our Disney Cruise Line primer.

And we'll also talk about this year's Mardi Gras celebration at Universal Orlando, including our experience riding one of the floats this past weekend. All that plus roundtable rapid fire and this week's news on this edition of the Dizz Unplugged.

My mouth isn't working today. You forgot to say from the Bob Barley studio. They're going to freak out. No, I didn't think he said it.

Did he said it? Yeah. Oh, okay. All right. It's attention span theater. I didn't think he said it either. John's ears aren't working. Maybe it isn't. Well, I just know it was for the time you were away. I didn't say it. And it was like pitchforks.

I'm happy with all the drars and death threats. All right. A couple things in housekeeping. First and foremost, I want to let everybody know that Will Perry is no longer with with the company due to some family obligations back in Indiana.

He had to leave Orlando to go back home. So we wish him well. We're going to miss him. Just wanted to make sure I let everybody know that that kind of came down last week.

So I just want to let everybody know the will is not. I don't want to say he's no longer with us like he's dead or something, but now I also want to give everybody an update on our give kids the world efforts to raise money for give kids the world with our sale of our podcast shirts.

In terms of orders, we're 14,000. So we're getting there. We're getting there more and more every week toward that goal of $20,000 if we hit 20,000, a very generous listener who has agreed to donate an additional 20,000, giving $40,000 to give kids the world.

So we need you guys to keep it up more shirts, friends, family, their rate people make people feel guilty, threaten them, do whatever you have to do.

But we need everybody's help getting these shirts sold. We've now sent a little more than $11,000 is what's come in that we've sent. So we've got about $3,000 out there for people who have placed orders, but not yet paid.

So those of you who are in that boat, write your checks and please send them in. We will start sending out reminders soon to people that have ordered, but not yet paid.

So if you are in that group, we would appreciate it if you would please this week, go ahead and write us a check and let us get that off to give kids the world.

Okay, talk about a couple of things associated with that. People have asked, you know, how long is this going to last? I'm going to be able to get shirts, all this stuff.

We are going to, once we meet our goal and we've sold out of the shirts that we've ordered, that's it.

We're going to stop this particular fundraising effort. Then we're going to do one for 10 Kevin DeParis.

So that's it guys. If people ask, are you going to do more shirts? Are you going to do more shirts? This particular fundraising effort is going to stop with 20,000.

There is something else I'm working on that I'm not going to announce or even allude to in any detail right now.

It's not going to involve shirts or anything like that, but there is something else I'm working on. But yeah, once, once we've reached our goal with the shirts, that's it.

You're not going to be able to get these shirts anymore. These shirts will only be available for this period in time until we reach our goal of 20,000 at which point. That's the end of it.
