    I don't know if any of you guys have ever met Barbara, but she was by far one of the highlights of our vacation. She drives a "paddy wagon," which are the red cars that ride up and down Main Street. This was the first times I had ever seen them running while I was in MK, so we got on. I got to sit in the front, right next to her! We sang Happy and You Know It, as well as Happy Birthday to my mom (who was wearing a birthday button). She even let us take pictures in her car after we got to the castle. She was absolutely wonderful and I really hope to meet up with her again some time.

    I honestly believe that Barbara deserves her own forum on just how amazing she is. And in the year and a half I've been a CM and have seen her, she is always so excited and happy and just glad to be there, she really is an inspiration!

    Shout out to CM Lindy at AK. We met Lindy coming out of AK for a mid day rest. Our daughters exchanged pins with her and she made us laugh until we had tears in our eyes. She was a sweeper but by far in the wrong profession in our eyes. Seemed like she would have made for a better Jungle Cruise captain. We returned to AK 2 days later and there was Lindy out front. She remembered us and even called my daughters by name. She once again traded pins with the girls and her humor was contagious! This is one CM that would have made Walt proud. Thanks Lindy for helping make for a great trip.

    Barbara is fantastic! She is the picture of a perfect cast member. To be honest, seeing her do parade control in Town Square is 100 times more entertaining than the parade itself!

    Barbara is an amazing CM. Talk about how an individual CM can make a real difference to guests - what a great asset to the MK she is.
