One of the funniest things Sean said over on the other site was despite Pete hating Tony's, he loves Olive Garden and other chain restaurants. What a jabroni.Pete helped me plan my trip, he told me to avoid Tony's and I did.
To be fair, Olive Garden breadsticks are pretty amazing.One of the funniest things Sean said over on the other site was despite Pete hating Tony's, he loves Olive Garden and other chain restaurants. What a jabroni.
Honestly, not very surprised. I attended this man’s wedding and have been in his home a few times. I was on an ABD with him. I spent time with him both in and out of the parks for meetings and events. We’ve gone to dinner several times in FL, CA, PA, and NJ. As crushing as this entire situation is, I’m just not very surprised. I never in my life would have expected SA, but as I’ve sat here for weeks analyzing our interactions and what I’ve observed of those he’s had with others, there were so many red flags. It’s heartbreaking.I'm curious how many fans here have met Pete or hung out with him? What was your reaction to all of this news after meeting him, not just watching him on a podcast?

We did spend a week with him on our ABD trip in 2011. He was so joyful and kind and really in the Disney spirit. But I know now, it was all an act.
My first thought was disbelief. Until I started reading more. And then my thought was my kid and was really angry that I let him hang around her. And then I thought of Teresa, Kathy & Tracey who were on our trip and just felt sadness. And then I sent a few texts to others. Now I'm just disgusted and want to do whatever I can to help.
Just to add that @Dustin stated very clearly on his YouTube channel last evening that he wants to keep the conversation going; that he wants people to keep talking. I admire your courage and dignity @Dustin and @themando and from now on will rely on you to let us know if it ever becomes too much and you want to stop the conversation.@WebmasterCorey , Others may disagree, but perhaps it is time for this thread to draw to a close. People have had some time to express their thoughts, analyse etc., but perhaps it is time for the cacophony to stop. I feel deeply for the young gentlemen who suffered sexual abuse, but is this, somewhat grotesque, ‘picking over the bones’ in their best interests? Perhaps an empathic statement to all former and current employees and an invitation to meet with you or correspond with you directly, is the way forward?
I apologise if this suggestion offends anyone, but surely our priority, as a community, should be supporting the victims, and the continuation of this thread may be discouraging other victims from coming forward.
He did not age one freaking bit IMO!Dustin doing a live "Hang Out" chat on YT in a few minutes.

I could’ve sworn that Pete said that he doesn’t like Olive Garden whenever they would do a review of an Italian place in the parksOne of the funniest things Sean said over on the other site was despite Pete hating Tony's, he loves Olive Garden and other chain restaurants. What a jabroni.
Did I read somewhere that Pete spoke to "Kevin" to apprach Dustin to speak on his behalf in a very high school manner? At the time I glanced over it assuming it was Klose and didn't pay any attn to it but it just popped in my head, is that another Kevin? (I can't even find where I read that anymore)Yes he did.
Different Kevin. I believe it was in Dustin’s part one or part two on the other site.Did I read somewhere that Pete spoke to "Kevin" to apprach Dustin to speak on his behalf in a very high school manner?

Thanks for confirming..I thought that was the case.Different Kevin. I believe it was in Dustin’s part one or part two on the other site.
It is available, and worth the watch, so that you can base you own opinions on info provided directly from Dustin: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTM9OI8p4y_XYIpxF11nGhQWhat happened with the event las night? Did it happen? was anything referenced?
I think they meant the DIS event in California. Yes that occurred as planned. I have no idea what conversations were had as I wasn’t there. They are doing a live show today so that may be interesting. Hopefully it gets posted on Tuesday.It is available, and worth the watch, so that you can base you own opinions on info provided directly from Dustin: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTM9OI8p4y_XYIpxF11nGhQ

We did the Italy ABD in 2014, the DIS Mega Meet in 2016 and the Viking cruise in 2018.I'm curious how many fans here have met Pete or hung out with him? What was your reaction to all of this news after meeting him, not just watching him on a podcast?

Despite being an active member of the DIS in the very early years, and continuous viewership of their various shows on YouTube, I only saw Pete one time on Disney property. It was in December 2021, and he came into Gyser Point with Panda, and someone else, while we were having lunch there. He had such an arrogance, and a sense of ownership about him, I refused to go up and say hi. All I wanted to do was greet Panda and ask why he was hanging around Pete, but I didn’t.I'm curious how many fans here have met Pete or hung out with him?
