It was cool seeing him, as I have never seen him in person before.

Originally Posted By LacyBelle Cool, GalDisney! When we went to DLR in September, we saw Roy Disney in the lobby of the GCH.

We also saw Wally Boag in the lobby and Steve Martin getting into a car and leaving the hotel as we drove up. I would never have the nerve to walk up and talk to any of them (don't want to be one of those annoying fans that I'm sure they experience on a daily basis), but it was pretty cool just being in their presence.

Originally Posted By GalDisney <<Did you get a chill when you relised it was him? >> I was shocked, actually..in a good way. Inside of me i was silently saying..OMG that is Roy Disney! I thought about acknowledging him by saying, hello, mr. Disney , but i thought i would look like an idiot lol
Originally Posted By CMDad In my experience with Roy Disney, he would have been very gracious had you said hello to him. I met him prior to the Philly stockholder meeting at his SAVE DISNEY presentation and reception. (I was one of the lucky ones to get in, get the gift bag, and even get some food/drink.) I even took a picture with him.
