Our first day of vacation at WDW in the parks was 10/30/07. We had an early breakfast with Pooh and Pals at CP. We rode lots of rides and got some neat PhotoPass pictures. We were having a great time, but not on schedule at all. We saw evidence of Dream Team pixie dust here and there, but never met up with them. By the time we go around to having lunch, it was about 3pm. We decided to dine at Pecos Bill's Cafe.
I was using a scooter, so I was busy parking it while I sent Gabby inside to place our order using the touch screen kiosks which were totally empty, but there were lines at all of the other registers. As I got off the scooter, I noticed that there were three management type CM's having a discussion close to the kiosks. I also recognized one of them, or at least I thought that I did. So, I asked one of the regular Pecos Bill's CM's that was standing nearby if the man in the blue striped shirt was Al Weiss, and was told, "Yes, that is Mr. Weiss." OMG!
So, I quietly said to Gabby that the man to her left in the blue shirt was Al Weiss. She said, quietly and annoyedly, "Who the heck is Al Weiss?" OMG, I love this woman, but she is so not a Disney geek. I told her that he is the man that runs Disney. She said like the parks, and I told her no, like the whole company. She said, you are going to want a picture aren't you? :hammer: I said DUH! So, with that she cancelled the half placed order and I went over and as politely as possible interupted their conversation.
I introduced myself and Gabby and asked if I could shake his hand. I thanked him for everything that he has done for the company so far. I was as sweet of a geek as I could be and he was just the nicest man. He of course turned it all back on me and Gabby and the guests of the WDW resort and the consumers for helping to make Disney the great company that it is. We got introduced to the man and woman with him. I wish that I had a better memory of their names. Anyone that knows who they are, I would love to know for scrapbook purposes. I believe they both have higher up duties in MK and WDW resort management, but I just can't remember the specifics. Anyway, it was certainly nice to meet the man in charge of the Mouse at present.
I am the geeky one in the brown shirt. I should have made Gabby stand next to the nice lady since she had no clue who Mr. Weiss even was. lol
I didn't meet the Dream Team, but I got a nice picture out of meeting Mr. Weiss. Maggie
