Is it only visible from across the lagoon?

Originally Posted By MajorWoody Hello, Thanks for a great video of this event. I really enjoyed it. I happened to catch Lonnie receiving a CM recognition award at the American Adventure a few years ago, and took pictures of that event, which I sent to him. Since then, we always make it a point to see him on our trips to WDW. He is truly a dedicated and exceptional CM. Take care, Bill

Thanks to all you clever people on this sit who have mastered the art of video and downloading digital pictures for those of us who still have to use disposable cameras!!!! Y'all put me right at WDW smack in the middle of the event!!!!
