I did go and take photos at Super Soap one day - I think she'll enjoy SWW more than you probably liked Super Soap! I am not a huge SW fan, but LOVED the weekends. And Ray Park was adorable. I put up some Super Soap photos too, those are my most looked-at pics after the castle suite ones. I couldn't believe how quickly soap opera sites found the photos! (within about an hour after I put them up, I believe we had 1500 or so at one time online).

Originally Posted By nbodyhome I ended up joining his fan club - and he does seem like a very nice guy, I can't wait to see him this year! That is great that you were able to meet him. I had some of my photos put up on his Epcot blog (on his site). That was pretty cool, as he writes captions for all the photos he adds. Denise
