The one thing you didn't mention though was how it felt to see the little ones faces as they got photos and got to hug you. I must be wonderful to bring such joy to little ones. Thanks again. Have a Disney Day!!

Personally I loved the fact that you could see out of the two “n’s†in the “hunny†pot, while people were looking at your “eyes†down around your belly button. But it was as heavy as a suit of armor and “Steve†(the honeybee) buzzing around on top of the costume gave rise to the rumor that there were actually air conditioning fans in the costumes. NOT true of course. But I DID take a thermometer out once in Pluto- 115 degrees, man… true story. Then they down-sized Pooh to a much shorter height range and got rid of it… and the back injuries that the minimum-wage-earning “casual seasonal†folks had to put up with. Ah, the good ol’ days.
