I ran into Tony Baxter tonight and ended up having the most amazing conversation for 45 mins about the old Carnation Gardens from one Former CM to another to all sorts of amazing stuff we went back and forth about in regards to Journey in  More...
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  8824.1 #2 3-14-13 10:58PM Like(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 #8128 3-15-13 12:19AM

*re-assembling self a-la T2 after being blown away by your awesomeness* it’s a good thing david and i were shooting a wedding yesterday when we read this. our teary faces blended right in with everyone else at the wedding :) we are so so happy for your ohana! david just made those necklaces for a little something fun. we had no idea they would be any part of such an amazing family moment. being at disneyland is awesome. (stipulated). being at disneyland with someone on their 1st visit is pretty rad, but there’s nothing quite like being there with a family member on their 1st visit. it’s a precious thing. sadly, after losing my dad to cancer last year, we will never get another family disney day with him :_( we treasure every trip we got to take with him. but enough of the sad faces. it’s happy time for swiss family churinson! senorita churita, your comments and posts always make us giggle. your tot avi is still our all time fav! hopefully we’ll get to meet you someday. if/when we do, we’ll treat you to an awesome dole whip...no, wait...a turkey leg... nope. what was it? think mcfly, think. oh yeah... a churro! :) *showers you and your mom with churros* (the warm, snuggly, fresh, disney ones) - OhanaPhoto  1578.5 #50 10-14-12 11:12PM Like(8)  Reply

How to make a Mickey ornament:
How to make a Mickey ornament. Buy plastic ornaments, one large and two smaller. Instructions top to bottom: 1) Measure and mark on each side the same distance that looks good for ear placement. I marked at 1" down. Remove the hook caps from the two smaller ornaments. 2) Use a high temp glue gun tip to press into the ornament to form a hole big enough for the top of the smaller balls. 3) Add some hot glue to the top of the smaller ball and then press inside the hole. Hold until secure. Repeat on other side 4) Done! You can glue other embellishments on it as well. - DesperateMousewife  873.8 #105 11-30-10 6:14PM Like(8)  Reply
