Roy Disney rallies faithful at Disneyana convention (http://www.azdailysun.com/non_sec/nav_includes/story.cfm?storyID=80521) - AP. 1/18/04

QuikQuote: Roy E. Disney got a standing ovation Saturday as he brought his campaign to oust Walt Disney Co. chairman and chief executive Michael Eisner to lovers of all things Disney.
The Disney brand "stands for quality," Disney said at the meeting of "NFFC -- The Club for Disneyana Enthusiasts." "It stands for families, it stands for getting your money's worth and it stands for a lot of innovation and a lot of new and creative ideas that make things fun every time you visit a park or go to a film."

A complete transcript of Roy's appearance at the NFFC convention is now posted on MousePlanet, at this link. (http://www.mouseplanet.com/foundations/fm040119sh.htm)

Many, MANY thanks to Sheila Hagen who spent nearly 6 hours trascribing and proofing the 30-minute tape.

This quick quote makes me want to stand up and cheer from my living room!

I don't understand...isn't the NFFC affiliated with Disney Co? I guess not, since they invited Roy to appear...still, it's surprises me that he was able to make an appearance on Disney turf like this.

Wish I could have been there. :(

Although the NFFC has a decent working relationship with Disney, and can frequently get Disney people to speak at their conventions, the NFFC is not at ALL related to or affiliated with the Disney company. The conventions are held in non-Disney hotels.

Had there been an internet when the NFFC started years ago, I imagine they would have started a fan site instead of a fan club.

Thanks to Sheila for the transcript!
