"Don't you ever do that again, that sandwich is worth a lot more than the waffle!"

He never got to see it, due to other issues, and due to time was pretty much walk around the park and talk about things. He is a wine fan, so we did try a Wine Tasting at the Wine Bar, and he was AMAZED with the Toy Story Zoetrope in Disney's Animation (and the Snow White exhibit). It was also nice to return the favor of "knowledge", even though I do remember riding the Mules in Frontierland!

I’ve heard too many horror stories about TDA executives that worked at the resort for years and never set foot in the park. And PrincessPauline, don’t waste your time trying to offend me, because it won’t work. I’d have to respect you first.
