That's where I wished for a baby on a Friday afternoon in September and on the fallowing Monday I got a call from an adoption worker. I was matched with my son - lilo84374.5 #366 4-9-13 5:50PMLike(17) Reply

He sure is. Disney and all its magic has been there for me through my adoption journey therefor the parks are very special to us :) - lilo84 374.5 #366 4-9-13 10:11PM
Thanks for the great info. Previously I had heard part of the story but you added more depth. - SingADisneySong3.6 #16302 4-9-13 10:13PMLike Reply
My husband proposed to me here in 2006. We always throw coins in the well, & on that night, instead of taking a coin out if his pocket, he took out the ring! It will ALWAYS be a special spot for us. 😍😍😍 - Tigerlilly829.2 #7031 4-9-13 10:46PMLike Reply

This is a seriously awesome photo! I have to say, you both have not changed much at all. You should use this as a wedding anniversary party invite photo! Your husband looks kind of like John Lennon back then, too! You both are beautiful, by the way! - meridafan1036.6 #83 3-21-13 4:00PMLike(6) Reply
I was thinking the same thing about John Lennon - QueenBella 148.0 #2319 3-21-13 5:20PM
Aww, that's so nice of you! That's a good idea for the anniversary invite photo, thanks! - debbiev 59.3 #3587 3-21-13 9:43PM
I have a bad feeling about this. (JK). Bring on the Star Wars! I heard Innoventions is going to be replaced with something awesome.... Maybe that will be it?? - randirella13.7 #5883 3-22-13 8:19AMLike Reply
I've seen some beautiful pictures on here, but I have to say, this is now my all time favorite! I also wanted to ask.... How did she get to walk around with Snow White? Is it something new? - DarthMickey47.9 #3796 3-21-13 8:11PMLike(2) Reply
Snow White asked if she could walk with her from the well over to the new fantasy faire so of course I said yes! They skipped and twirled and had a great time! - radtechkelly 67.0 #3462 3-22-13 12:17AM
I think they usually do this when they are going on their break. - bluefairy 627.2 #174 3-22-13 12:27AM
So Tony was by himself and I have talked to him a lot over the years but never anything like tonight....I was going over to Fantasy Fair after dinner at Napa and of course I recognized him and just went up and started talking and said...Its strange that when I remember coming here as a kid watching my grandparents dance this was a hamburger stand...he goes THAT WAS MY FIRST JOB AT THE PARKS EVER, then it just took off and was an unreal ride...He was telling me how cool it was that he saw Louie Armstrong play while he was working there and how Benny Goodman would come and play but at that time he had no idea how cool it really was...Then we started talking about a lot of the old people and how they were the ones who kept this place around and how big swing got again in the mid 90s and how they hope to still keep it there but he said he does not think that will happen. Then it was cool when we were talking about some of the back stage struggles in that area since I knew what was right behind and I found some of that to be the most interesting thing about the whole situation since I knew what he was talking about and he knew I did also but the couple people who were standing around waiting for a pic and autograph from him were clueless about...Then I went into my fav topic that I have never talked to him about which was Journey Into Imagination and old school Epcot,,,I talked a little about my childhood and love for Figment and the attraction and how its gone so far away from what it was supposed to be and then it was like I got zapped into a story by Tony all about Figment after I was telling him as a little kid the first thing I wanted to do was meet Figment and The Dreamfinder and then how when I grew up I always thought of the figures of Epcot were Figment and Epcot and not Mickey and Minnie........Then he told me a story about a family who came to the parks in the mid 80s and it was a make a wish child and when he met them it was the first time he had smiled in a few years...Seeing what happened they were so happy that Kodak who sponsored the attraction use to fly figment and the dreamfinder around to meet this kid until he passed away a few years later....Well this family was such a big deal to Disney and Kodak that they made them part of the pre show that was for kodak that had a song called Making Memories done by the Sherman brothers and Tony told me that everytime he would go into the attraction and the song and video would come on he would get choked up like no other....We talked for a long time and it was not like somebody asking questions it was just natural and we had an awesome conversation between two Disney fans and I will never forget it.. - Dave 8652.6 #2 3-14-13 10:58PMLike(41) Reply
Oh how cool that must have been. I would love to sit down with him and just listen. Did you at least ask him if he was enjoying his retirement. Man what a treat to have been able to have a conversation like that with a true legend. - pirate5150 7.4 #7943 3-15-13 12:19AM
