In this brief film the Dizzy Mega Corporation confesses . . .
. . . exactly WHAT kind of NEW NEIGHBOR it intends to become in Florida when it opens its eponymous World "theme park" near Orlando, FL. In the context of this confessional, "Pete" stands in for Dizzy. When Don Duck arrives just after Pete's advent, Pete immediately dumps a barrel of foul garbage onto Don's property, allows his large dog to dig up Don's flower bed, empties the entire contents of Don's fridge into his own personal shopping cart and "borrows" all of Don's tools. Things begin to get ugly between Don and Pete after that. This telegraph's virtually all the Real Life low-lights when Dizzy muscled in on Florida a few years later. Fortunately, the Sunshine State's current hero governor essentially evicted Dizzy from his region this Spring: good riddance.
