The Happiest Place on Earth
Wanna’ buy Cinderella’s Castle? Sorry sucker, right now you can’t. Turns out the centerpiece of the Magic Kingdom currently has a construction lien filed against it. A while back, Specialty Products and Insulation did some work to the castle, adding a new stage for performances, as well as some new decorations, some tile mosaics and even a deluxe bathroom. And now Specialty Products is claiming that it’s still owed $3,984.87 for materials, and so it’s filed a lien for the money. The dispute actually appears to between Specialty Products, a subcontractor, and the general contractor that hired it, so Disney is in the process of having the lien withdrawn. Presumably, Disney execs haven’t lost any sleep over this, particularly since the company is no stranger to such silliness - there have previously been liens filed against It’s a Small World, Haunted Mansion, Spaceship Earth and Expedition Everest.
The Disney execs can also sleep easier now that Tigger is a free man tiger. Florida’s Attorney’s Office has announced that it will not by pressing criminal charges against one Michael J. Fedelem, who plays Tigger at the Disney-MGM Studios. Fedelem/Tigger was in some trouble after allegedly whacking a 14-year-old New Hampshire boy on the head. The kid’s dad has the incident on videotape and since charges aren’t being filed, one assumes the altercation must not have been as bad as daddy originally thought (he’s the one who originally went to the cops).
My guess? Tigger was just bouncing on the kid’s head the ways Tiggers do, and daddy was just unfamiliar with the fact that Tiggers like to bounce.
