Brave effort on all parts for heading up Notre Dame, the last time I had the opportunity I was in no fit state, having just fallen in a hole spraining my ankle and ripping a big hole in my knee and hand, has to be said though that I *really* dont cope well with medieval spiral staircases, so this may have been a good thing!!! Anyway I digress, to conclude, it was the best kind of Disney trip, and something we should all aspire too, I so look forward to being able to do this kind of thing with my niece once she's a little older (just turned 2)..

I just really enjoyed this and would love to see a bit more.) Oh, and hey - I was just remembering a post I saw in LP general about somebody's trip report "disappearing" when LP crashed so I just thought I might suggest that you print this out just in case something unexpected happened. I'd want to have it to look back on now and again if I were you.

I think I may have had a brush with a Disney celebrity! If I'm wrong I apologise in advance to the person in question. On the Friday there were lots of VIPs in the park for the evening event, so it's possible. Anyway, early on in the morning Em and I were heading out of Frontierland on the path that cuts across the front of Adventureland heading back into the hub and as I round a corner I come face to face with.... wait for it..... no, not a penguin!....... it was...... (shall I stop this now)..... Unless I'm very much mistaken it was...... Andreas Deja! We kind of did that little passing each other dance and I didn't do a double take (I hope) but I kinda missed a step and I obviously had that look of recognition on my face, because he didn't exactly do rabbit caught in headlights, but there was an "Oh no, I've been spotted!" expression on his face. Had it not been for that expression I would have loved to have talked to him, but he appeared to be with his family and I didn't want to be rude. He did appear uncomfortable to have been spotted, so I left it. I hope it was him now I've posted, I was trying to see if I could verify it online, but perhaps Andreas if you're out there you could post here about how excited you were to have almost bumped into me! And if it wasn't you, you have a twin out there somewhere. So there you go, I can't believe I forgot to mention it! I've really enjoyed writing this trip report. Perhaps we should start a thread somewhere were people can post old trip reports, kind of like a Disney Trip Scrapbook, in fact wouldn't it make a cool book? Just old trip reports from the resorts around the world all the way back to 1955. Real, honest accounts from guests of what they did, ate, saw etc. That would be cool!!!

As it's a spiral staircase I couldn't even tell how far I had to go!!!

LOL ;-P Yes Kieran, take it from someone who learned the HARD way---SAVE IT!!! PRINT IT!!! LP posts are NOT chiseled in stone forever! Luckily I *did* find mine on a disc (*PHEW*), but I was soooo upset for a while when I thought all my work had been lost! Wow, that's cool you may have seen Mr. Deja! I love his accent, it's awesome.
Originally Posted By chickendumpling <<"somebody"? So now I'm demoted to simply "somebody"??? >> (LOL. Yeah, you're trouble buddy. I'm staying the heck away from you. ) u k fan - I think the idea of reposting old/lost trip reports is a great one. Wouldn't you agree that it would be nice to see Tall's trip report reposted for those of us who never got to enjoy it (like me and I'm assuming you)? Your celebrity siting addition was fun! The suspense nearly killed me. LOL. (Ok, maybe that's a *slight* exaggeration. But I do love that particular suspense effect. And you even got to do a little dance with Mr. Deja? Man, I am never that lucky.
