Two years ago my young daughter and I were waiting for my husband and our 2 other children outside of TPoC Ride near the Pirates League. As we were sitting there a very nice young man, Cannonball/Nick, tried to keep our daughter, Riley, occupied by talking to her!!! Of course she was shy and would not respond, but he did not care he kept talking to her...he was so nice!!!! After that, he was all she talked about!!!! A few days later my son wanted to go to the Pirates League, and Cannonball/Nick was there. He remembered her name and kept talking to her at the end of the experience she got her picture taken with him. Nick was and continues to be all she talks about. My oldest daughter went in Aug. 2012 and Riley wrote him a note...my daughter delivered it and he actually read it!!!!! We went back in January and we asked everyone if Nick was still there...we were able to talk with 2 managers who told us he was indeed and he would be working the day all 3 of our children had appts. at TPL. Riley was so happy...she was not visiting WDW to see princesses or Mickey (no offense) she was there to see Cannonball-Slash-Nick!!!! When we got there that day he was the first stop at Magic Kingdom!!!! She was so happy to see him...he even painted her nails!!!! He is what WDW is all about...Walt would be proud. We will be back Nov. 2013!!!!

Glad you made so many memories with Cannonball. Unfortunately, as of about two weeks ago, Nick has joined his fiancé working at Expedia.com and is now seasonal with Disney.
