Hello folks.
I wanted to bring this to the attention of anyone in the Orlando area, or anyone visiting Walt Disney World during the last week in September.
Anyone who is a fan of classic Imagineering, history of the Parks, and particularly interested in hearing about the creation and construction of 'Big Thunder Mountain Railroad' may want to know about this -
Tony Baxter is coming to Disney Springs to present a keynote presentation for The Carolwood Society on the morning of Friday, September 27th at 10am.
To be held at the AMC Theater at Disney Springs.
Tickets to attend the presentation are $35 ($38 with online fees )
Everyone is welcome to attend, as this is not a 'Members only' event.
Following Tony's keynote presentation, a receiving line will form to give attendees a chance to meet the presenters and have a photo opportunity with them.
So this means, YES -
YOU can meet Tony Baxter!

This is a rare opportunity to see Tony talk about 'Big Thunder Mountain Railroad' which celebrates it's 40th Anniversary that month.
Normally, one has to attend a D23 sanctioned event to see something like this, but now you have the chance to avoid the expensive admission charges AND support a great organization!
Plus, spend some time listening to Tony's great stories and interesting insights....in PERSON !
Not only that, you have a opportunity the meet the man and perhaps even have a photo opportunity.
I will be there, hope to see more 'WED heads' and Members of the Tony Baxter Fan Club there as well!
