Hello and welcome to the Dismplug roundtable discussion for December 12th, 2006. I'm your host, Pete Warner, and with us this week, as always, are Bob Varley, Julie Martin,

Corey Martin, Kevin Close, and John Meijai. This week, we're going to tell you what's in the news, and we'll also talk about the recent outbreak of Norwalk virus on some cruise ships, and we'll tell you what you can do to keep yourself healthy on your next cruise.

Kevin Close has some new rumors to tell us about, and we'll discuss some discounts that will help you plan a last minute trip for Christmas if you feel like coming to Orlando.

That's what's in this week's edition of the roundtable, and we'll go ahead and get started with the news. The number three story this week from the Dizz, the house where Walt Disney was born is Upper Sale on eBay.

According to KWOC TV in Chicago, the house at 2156 North Trip Avenue on the northwest side of Chicago is currently listed on eBay for $250,000.

It does not have any bids yet, but the auction is set to run through January 6th. So according to the eBay listing, the house was built by Walt's father Elias, and it's the residence where Walt Disney was born on December 5th, 1901.

I'm going to watch that. We'll keep you posted on that auction. We'll also put a link to it in the show notes so you can check it out.

But I'm very, very interested to see if some really, really, really intense Disney fan buys that for like a hefty sum.

Now, I don't know if you know the whole story here. She's had this house up for sale before, and she can't sell it. It's quite small from what I understand, and it's also not in the best neighborhood.

And part of the problem is that there's no connection to Walt Disney. It's, I mean, other than the fact that it's a birthplace, right?

But there's nothing in it or around it or that indicates that it's his house. So it's, it's kind of like you're just buying a house.

Yeah, I mean, I lived there for like four years of his life, the first four. So he scratches names.

Exactly. Like there's not a height chart on the wall.

So we get Walt to go back and scratch his name in there. Well, this lady was smart. She'd like scratch Mickey Mouse or something into the floor.

Exactly. Come on, lady. I give you five bucks.

Yeah, we're giving someone tips on how to fraud the public. Yes. Welcome to the round table.

All right, the number two story. According to the Associated Press, the federal board that oversees labor issues between unions and companies says that Walt Disney World violated the law.

Walt Disney World violated labor laws last year when it displaced 185 hotel custodial workers.

A Disney spokeswoman said the company had fully complied with their negotiated collected collective bargaining agreement and had not committed any violations.

The complain alleges that Disney changed working conditions without proper notice and failed to bargain with the union.

According to the union, Disney would not bargain over what would happen to these workers after they were displaced.

Disney is a result of a year-long investigation and a schedule to be heard on February 5th.
