I Saw Joe Rhode At Animal Kingdom...

[lifeguard1020]

I was waiting in line at Everest on Tuesday, right around 2:30, I was about 25 feet back from where the stand by line actually enters the main line building, and guess who stroll by with a group of people...Joe...He just rolled on by talking to them about the theming and decor of the attracion...He pointed to and touched some of the moulding around one of the windows on the building as he spoke to the group...during all this, I struggled to get my bag open and break out the camera...I snapped a few quick shots and I will post them in my album...(Unless someone can PM me to tell me how to put them in this thread...hint hint..)Well, untill then, I have a whole lot more to do around here for the couple more days I have here...When I am done here, I wil post a BIG picture and trip report thread...

Thanks...
Dan...

Love saw him in Clearwater a few weeks ago. At like a 7-11 or something. I couldn't believe it. But he had a good point - how many other people look like Joe? :lol:

Those will have to tide you over for now...In the meantime, It's off to EPCOT to watch Illumnations...I haven't seen it in 10 years...Hopefully this weather won't ruin it for me...

True, at least as far as AK goes.
Same kinda thing with Tony Baxter at Disneyland...only not as...um...recognizable to the general public.:lol:

Cool! Good for you!

And thanks for getting folks to tell you how to post pics in the thread. You learn something new every day.

 

[rbrower]

Thanks for posting that!
Maybe he was telling them about all the little details that they put into the ride and that whole section of the park.

 

[TakeMe2TheMagic]

Billy Joel

I spotted him in the adventurers club with loads of fellow imagineers last October before everest opened. He was meeting with Jeff Corwin to discuss this whole discovery channel/expidition everest thing that happened. Talk about an incredibly brilliant nice guy. I really hope I get the chance to meet him again one day and this time not to be so shy. I had fun with some of the imagineers that were there talking about some of the changes that were coming to PI, Imagineers are very special people.. :wave:

Very cool.

Joe used to be a fequent visitor to AK when it first opened. I've seen him walking around and observing a couple times during that first year.

Billy Joel

youve got a point there!

 

[Scar Junior]

Very cool! Thanks for the info. He was in the park a few times while I worked there but I never spotted him. I saw groups of important people a few times, especially while it was closed... but never saw him.

 

[DisneyRoxMySox]

I was hoping he was scouting out some land for a new attraction. But good for you!

 

[natalia1681]

It's kind of odd how much Joe and Billy look alike:lol: That is so cool that you got to see Joe. I would love to meet him and just chat with him about all of his ideas. :wave:

My brother works in Animal Kingdom at Asia attractions and told me that he spotted Joe Rhode with a cameraman roaming around the area this week. He thought it was pretty cool that the lead Imagineer would be roaming the park like that.
