Michael Phelps Heros Welcome Friday

[Boray]

^ Seeing that would be BEYOND AWESOME!

That is so cool. He's a local boy to us in Baltimore, and even now after his huge Olympic win it's still so hard for many of us to fathom the impact he's had on the ENTIRE FRICKIN' WORLD....

While it would have been cool to see him at WDW... maybe I'll swing by the tickertape parade we're giving him here...

Or drive sloooowwwly by that $1.7 mil townhome in Fells Point. :dazzle:

You know they have to put Phelps in the AA ending movie now. Maybe the relay team.

I have to be at work at 11. It takes me 35 minutes from Main Street to my work. If the parade starts at 10:30 then I wouldn't make work. I'm going to try to see if I can go in a little later and make the parade. I'll keep you posted.

Found another article mentioning it on People.com - here is the link http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20222196,00.html

We are arriving tomorrow morning but don't know if we could make it there in time.

[sknydave]

I hate that his swimming is not on TV every day. I miss the Olympics....

Wish I was there to see that! Pics would be very appreciated!

 

[imamouse]

Let's go! I'll get up early enough to see that! I wonder were he's staying... hmmm...

Dolphin?

 

[Kman101]

I was likely heading to the parks tomorrow (first time since June) so this definitely gives me incentive to go. I hate getting up that early when I'm doing just a day trip, but I'll give it a try.

 

[Kman101]

I wonder how busy it'll be ... haha. Is this getting like real main stream press?

 

[Nicole220]

O.M.G

I wanna go!!!!!! If I lived in FL, I'd so be there at the crack of dawn to see him.

*swoons*

Pics people! We need pics!

EDIT: He was at DL in 2004?!?! Curses for not knowing about Disney sites back then!

 

[sillyspook13]

Add Marcus and me to the list of people who will be there taking pictures. I'll wear my wdwmagic.com button!:wave:

 

[Spyne]

Cool! That'll be fun for the people who will attend.

 

[corrwill]

YEAH, um I AM GOING 100% getting up and leaving to get there by 8:30-9 cause I am sure there will be crowds along with media. SOOOOO EXCITED! I will take tons of pics and be sure to post em :sohappy:

 

[flashinghelmet]

I just hope you guys still aren't pretending that you came top of the olympics table!

 

[DonaldDoleWhip]

Well now I know what park I'm about to leave for!

Thanks for the info, I'll try to take pics

I just saw him do an interview live on the TODAY Show yesterday in New York. He is suppose to be hosting Saturday Night Live tomorrow night. Seems bad planning by his people to have him fly to New York for a week then fly to Florida for not even a day then fly right back to NYC for the show.

If they had planned it better he could have done a Water Parks commercial or maybe and even a "Top 7 Disney Resort Pool Must Swim" show for resort tv.
