From the Bob Barley Studio in Orlando, Florida, you're listening to the Diz Unplugged.

Hello and welcome to the Diz Unplug Roundtable discussion for November 25th, 2009.

From Orlando, Florida, I'm your host, Pete Warner.

Join my good friends, Walter Eccles, Julie Martin,

Cory Martin, Kevin Close, and John Meijai back in the peanut gallery,

Kathy Whirling, Max the intern, and Little Baby Ferris.

In this week's show, Kevin Close has his review of Jiko at the Animal Kingdom Lodge,

and the team will discuss holiday options in and around Orlando this season.

All that plus this week's news and roundtable rapid fire on this edition of the Diz Unplugged.

Welcome to the show, everyone.

I just want to let everybody know at the top of the show we are not going to be doing an e-mail show this week.

It's Thanksgiving.

We have food to cook and things to do.

I'm not going to spend the night before Thanksgiving editing a show.

So no e-mail show this week.

Couple other things in housekeeping.

I have an announcement that I need to make.

Those of you on my Facebook page know that I was going to announce something on this week's show.

After a great deal of thought and discussion, I have decided that at the end of the year,

I will be stepping down from my role here on the Diz and the boards and looking to do some different things.

I will be turning the reins over to Corey.

At that time, Corey will take over as the senior executive for the Diz and the boards.
