I am actually fluent in the language of sarcasm. I just didn't think the staff would be fired. When my brother was in College Program at WDW, he worked at Electric Umbrella in Epcot. When the restaurant closed for renovation, did they tell all the workers there to go home and come back to work again a month later? No, my brother was reassigned to Pizza Planet at Hollywood Studios, and the other workers were reassigned elsewhere, and his manager was actually reassigned to Restaurantosaurus (sp?) in Animal Kingdom where their manager had just retired, and that ended up being a permanent transfer. One high-end online Disney shop, DisneyAuctions.com, was retired in I think 2007 and everybody there got reassigned to other online Disney shops and marketing portions including the main one and Movie Rewards Club, among others. When something closes in Disney, the staff generally just gets reassigned.

Oh and by the way, the head guy on VMK staff, Yavn, actually has a very high level job with Disney Corporation, and signs a lot of Disney paychecks!

You're correct, atleast that is what Yavn said in the April 7th newsletter:

While I'm sure many of the development staff were moved to other projects, let's not forget some of our wonderful 'Host's that were all caught by suprise like the rest of us and dumped without even a chance of relocation in the Disney Empire.

Back on the original topic..
Great pic Schmoofy! For a second the rush of seeing a new item did return! (Well 'till reality sat on that.)

LOL, I love Pizza Planet. I love Toy Story all together. Maybe I will see him there on my next visit.

And anyways, the staff were fired. Why else did they go to VFK, then EI, and a few other games?

Never seen that item before, weird since I read the wiki alot.
