Choice for your own personal tour?

If you could have your own personal tour of WDW and could choose anybody in the whole wide world to be your tour guide, who would you choose? and why?

It could be anybody - Meg? Iger? or even Morgan Freeman because you like his narration? :p

Marty Sklar, done
Marty Sklar - it would be great to see the parks through the eyes of a legendary imagineer. It would be amazing to have him share his thoughts on creating the magic.
After reading Marty Sklar's book I would defiantly choose him to hear his stories and see what hidden gems only he knows about.

I'd "fourth" that. Other than Marty, I would like Tony Baxter to give me a walking tour of BTMRR and Splash Mountain at Disneyland.

For WDW and exspecially for DL, it is Mr. Baxter all the way.

Nobody ...and i mean NOBODY has the stories this man can tell you about any aspect of any of these Parks but him.
He has a very unique perspective and is more then happy to share it with those he feels will appreciate hearing it.


DL is really the first choice Park i would prefer touring in with him as a personal guide, primarily because of his own personal connections to it. It's 'his' Park and he has a long and colorful history connected to it...even before he started working there himself as a teen.

Since we are talking about WDW though, i am sure a day spent at Florida's MK and EPCOT would be as equally informative and thrilling. We will just need to stay away from the Imagination Pavilion ( still a old wound for us both )....and focus more on WS and the other side of FW.

Touring Disneyland Paris with Tony..WOW....not THAT would be amazing.
I know he would have some amazing insights into the development of that Park and could show me things no book could ever cover.

Oh yes please.....

Tony Baxter is amazing, but I would argue Bob Gurr's perspective of Disneyland is unlike any other, including Baxter. He was there in the beginning.

Say what you want to about Garner Holt taking over the animatronics at Disney, but I think his insight on the animatronic attractions would be fascinating.
