Originally Posted By idleHands "I can honestly say Joe is one of the most naturally gifted and captivating imagineers to listen to right now." OK, this we can definitely agree on, Lee! Joe is the reason why I love DAK so much. I love to walk around, take pictures, soak up the atmosphere. Yes, it could use more attractions/rides. I blame the bean counters for lack thereof. (I also blame them for lack of Beastly Kingdomme, but that's another rant for another day.) And I agree that someone from LP should go to this event! Doesn't Doobekah have some kind of slush fund/laundered money from the LP Store for this? ;^)

It frightens the Accountaneers! Management leaves Joe the heck ALONE to work his MAGIC and his GREATNESS because of THE EARRING!! Remove the Source of Joe-nessâ„¢? That's crazy talk!!

If you are an EE, you should be receiving your Mickey Monitor soon, I hope.

Last weekend I went to MOMA to see the PIXAR exhibit - it was great ! DAK is the best - I would love and try to make this event. If I do, I will post a Trip Report

I was wondering whether it was worth the effort as I could really find anything about it. That is a huge relief. Thanks Dennis.
