I believe that you and Deep Mouse are both correct, Chuck. It all depends on who you're dealing with inside Disney.

Some execs may view the fans as the "lunatic fringe" or worse. Some may see them simply as Disney's best customers and not necessarily freaks at large. And others may take a somewhat negative slant regarding the more intense fans, aka "foamers" (favorite term of a well-known ex-Imagineer), while still enjoying the company and disposable income of the entire group.


There have been and always will be varying shades of fanaticism amongst the Disney Faithful. Depending on where and why and who you're with, YMMV.
