Originally Posted By juicer Thats great that you (Jim) subbed as Jim Handy It sure seems like a well oiled machine. I know the price is expensive...But what isnt expensive now at Disneyworld. Love those Sangrias!
Originally Posted By utahjosh I missed it on my trip to WDW...and I didn't see it when I worked there on the college program. Wish I would have seen it. My friend Ralynne is Claire DeLune in the current cast.

It always starts my Walt Disney World vacation just right!
