Kevin Yee Attacked!
In case you're not a regular MiceAge reader, Kevin Yee is one of their regular columnists. Personally I don't care much for his articles as he normally tries to come across as some kind of Disney expert just because he worked at Disneyland for a few years (If you want the real scoop, ask the Krudd!). He never offered any real insider information, just a layman's opinion.
Back on July 13th he wrote an article called Kevin Yee Setting Sail that chronicled his adventures on the Disney Cruise Lines. If you read it you will discover that he gave it mixed reviews, primarily because he thought it was too expensive compared to other cruises and that he felt that Disney didn't properly warn him that more formal attire was encouraged for some of the onship restaurants.
What was interesting was not his article itself but the severe backlash he received from the majority of the MiceAge readers. It's over 9 pages worth but it's a funny read if you got the time. Basically he's getting slammed for not doing his homework and also for comparing the Disney Cruise Line to other cruises although he hasn't actually been on any other cruise lines. Apparently MiceAge wanted to quiet down the controversy by taking his link off their homepage.

Funny! I usually don't read Kevin Yee articles but for some reason I read this one and went through all the comments when it was only about four pages long. I didn't know that it later ballooned to nine. Wow.
I liked it when one commentor said: Alternatively, you could have changed the focus of your article. You could have changed it to "my experience having done no research."
i didn't read the article and don't go to miceage. dunno why that is actually...
but in any case, i do remember the name kevin yee, so very familiar. when did he work there? what did he do? possible i may have known him...
if i did, musta thought him a geek of some sort, which would fit according to what you blogged ;)
Kevin used to work in the foods dept back around 2002. Here is a link with his picture alongside your buddy Paul Pressler.

Hmm, I may have just seen him, but didn't actually know him. No loss :)
