In his house? Naaa.
His wife was there too, so that was a real bummer. Only it wasn't his real life wife. The dream wife was younger than his real life wife. Go figure.

I can honestly say I've never had dreams with Bob Iger in them.
Observations/recollections from last night:
- I took the Main Street bypass. The cheapness of it feels old-school Disneyland for some reason. Many of the attraction posters are currently advertising things that are closed.
- I had to go through Tomorrowland because of the fireworks. It was horrible. There's people everywhere, empty tracks that used to be a ride, a radar dish that used to be a ride, cheap Star Wars attractions which used to be better rides and shows, and a complete lack of a cohesive theme.
- Matterhorn is way too rough, especially on the Tomorrowland side. I think I'll just do the Macaroons next time.
- The closure of the Big Thunder Trail stinks. I hope they eventually reopen it before Star Wars: The Experience opens? I got trapped after the fireworks and couldn't even get through the Fantasyland midway until they reopened.
- Snow White is still my favorite Fantasyland dark ride. It's so macabre and villain-centric. I hadn't done it since the return of HM. It's one of several attractions I do more of during HMH to kinda/sorta/not really "make up" for the loss of HM. These include Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln, which features an ornate foyer area where the voice of Paul Frees welcomes you and asks you to step through the doorway; Sleeping Beauty Castle Walkthrough, which has dark corridors to wander through, a thing that pops up at you and a HM connection in that the voice of Madame Leota was the voice of Maleficent; and of course the Snow White ride, which is dark and frightening and has a forest with trees trying to kill you and bats. I approve!

I thought about it on the drive in to work this morning. But he doesn't know who Bob is, so I figured he wouldn't get much out of the story. LOL
God no.

You should have heard all the children screaming and crying after getting off Snow White. I used to be able to hear them in the ride before they even unloaded.
Tomorrowland is the worst land of the park, for the reasons you just mentioned.

Weird. I put my feet up on the WDW version on a regular basis and no one has ever said anything to me. Maybe they just don't care in FL...
They probably keep a close eye on me because I suspiciously ride 20-30 times in a row every Sunday in a Star Trek shirt. They think I'm going to do what those guys did in Horizons at EPCOT Center.

Which was what?
Jump out of the ride vehicle and explore the attraction!

Yeah, that hasn't just happened at Horizons...
A man once exited MK's Splash Mountain, was hit by a boat, and was killed. When I was very young, we were on Splash Mountain, and our friend exited the ride. Likely part of the reason why WDW's Splash Mountain has lap bars now.

Same thing happened on DL's Peoplemover - twice. They finally installed jail bars on the vehicles to keep people from climbing out.

Wait... is that dude wearing a.... a WDW logo print shirt while talking about all the stuff he's collected from the trash at Epcot?
