    My son had it - and still has it - on his resume. It has opened some eyes and was a starting point to conversation.

    Of course, he may be the only HS science teacher (at least in his school) with 12 credits in theme park management - earned during is WDWCP days. While there he earned his "Ducktorate" degree. Don't think they have/do that any more.

Iris is one of my favorite Greek goddesses (I love Greek mythology), and one of my favorite characters from "Another World", lol.

    I was lucky that both my parents were teachers - and in 1968 and 1969 we drove cross country during the summer and I got to go to DL both summers. Bobby and Iris visited DL with us in the summer of 1986. They have been going to WDW with us since Bobby was 2 and Iris 4.

    LOL, I love that!

    CMDad, I'm sure then since the Mansion is also your favorite attraction I don't have to inform you of Jason Surrell's book on the Mansion. I happened to see it while skimming through Barnes & Noble 2 years ago, and I couldn't believe what a feast it was for us Mansion-lovers. It's amazing!

    I did the College Progarm in 1992. That was a couple of years after the opening of Vista Way (the CP kids live in a trailer park before that) and a few years before the opening of other housing areas.

    My first night there I went to the pool and played water polo with kids from Norway, Morocco, France, etc. Where else can you do that?
