Truth! I think the bigger question was, why did they get married in the first place? By the time same sex marriage was legal, they'd been together for a while. Walter must have known who he was. If I recall correctly, they lived in separate houses, even after they got married.

I don't know enough Pete Werner history to know why they married in the first place. I'll bet someone could come along soon with that info though.

You did the same thing last thread. I think someone else should make them going forward outside of what thread titles you seem to prefer

Exactly - why are there even guidelines on choosing new titles and why do we vote on the most popular ones when people just arbitrarily choose what thread title they want.

Back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Procedure is that someone should sort the posts by “most liked” and then title the thread with the suggestion that has the most likes. Also then lock the old thread. You can also wait until it hits really close to 1000 or even little more.
That’s tattles rules, I’m just repeating them.

I'm not sure why they divorced but it seems like someone said Walter had a regular job and Pete wanted him to quit and be available to always travel with him. Maybe this was a contributing factor?

Walter worked in the prison system. I’m not sure in what capacity. Pete wanted Walter to quit and work with him. Walter was on the show a lot when they were together, but he really wasn’t a Disney guy. He didn’t hate it, but he wasn’t as into it as you should be to do a disney podcast. He did end up leaving his job but just wasn’t happy and went back to the prison. I would guess all of that was at least a factor in the divorce.

Yes, that too. Walter had a normal amount of vacation time and Pete made it his job to vacation, so that didn’t work for him.

I believe this is correct, Pete mentioned that you need to have a spouse that loves Disney as much as you do if you work in the industry. He was a Social Worker in the Prison System, at least I think I heard that.

Still trying to figure out how he is connected to The DIS... He shared his original thoughts like he had first hand experience with Pete or the team.

Not sure who he is but a friend who is a big Disneyland person is following him on twitter - and she follows very few people.. I'll ask her.

I'd refresh EVERYTHING. Tours, reviews, park visits, logos, music. Nothing that had a whiff of Pete (ugh) about it would remain. I'd even be tempted to change the name of the channel slightly. Take the rest of the summer off and start re-covering the basics for trip planners while you're also auditioning new on-camera staff.

They could rename the channel to "DIS UnThugged"
