he visited the Walt Disney World Emergency Operations Center to discuss how we as a site are executing commitment to safety. learned more about enhancements to the Guest experience and met Cast Members from across the resort.
Cast Members on the Global Business Technology Strategy team took George through the end-to-end process of touching to enter a resort room.
met with Disney's BoardWalk Inn Cast Members Feb. 5 during a tour of the waterfront resort hotel. During the visit, Cast Members demonstrated the functionality of the newly launched Mobile Lobby Experience.
sat down to chat with Walt Disney World Ambassador Tye Arnold earlier this week. On March 7, visit The Hub to see Tye's interview with George, and read the March 7 issue of "Eyes & Ears" for more.
This is the quick review of what is out about his week. Sorry I am super tired and need sleep.

Are you like George's assistant or secretary? If so then this thread is in your advantage as you can post here constantly about George's daily week intinerary and what not.

Backstage areas? Should we call him George the Woo?

He was in Adventureland this morning touring the area in regards to the already disclosed Pirates Adventure interactive game. Phil was there with him too...as well as a few others. Weren't there long though and headed backstage past my attraction, the Jungle Cruise.

Does Phil still have those pearly whites (white hair)? Have they started constructing in that interactive game area yet or is it just pre planning and what not they were going over?
Yep. Thanks, I had heard that. I think he's still doing his 'what is going on in the swamps?' tour right now.
When Disney's CPSMC trots him out for the whores (maybe at a test for MM+ for bloggers?), you'll know he's ready for his debut/coronation.

Meanwhile, in Anaheim...
Michael Colglazier, George's replacement, has been out and about quite a lot. The west coast blogs are catching him riding rides and wandering around. Here he is this past weekend, riding Alice In Wonderland.
Have we seen George Kalogridis on any WDW rides, yet?

James? The guy in the back seat appeared to be Michael's tour guide, showing him around and looking at things.
What does "James" do, exactly? Is it someone we should know?

Hmm, something tells me here that Michael Colglazier got the better end of that executive shuffle deal than George did. Think about it, George was out and about everywhere in the DL parks, now while he still is in the WDW parks, why can't anyone find him. You could argue that it's a change in managing style or him wanting to be a more behind the scenes guy here at the World but I bet George wishes he still had his former job out in DL. We can though at least confirm he's in the world (pic taken in February by wdwnews.com/mousemail):
I guess the first time general public will see him may end up being at that Around the World Presentation this coming March/April.

When he sitting in the vehicle he looked the spitting image of James Cameron ... hence my spit-take

Thank you. According to Wikipedia (just go with me here), Tom Fitzgerald is an Imagineer and a "Senior Vice President, Principal Creative Executive". Tom has also posted on the Disney Parks Blog and described himself as the "creative executive for the Disneyland Resort".
That's good news if one of the rides they went on, out of the 70+ rides to choose from at Disneyland Resort, was Alice In Wonderland. They must have been checking out the ridiculous "temporary" safety railings installed two years ago on Alice that keep getting deferred for more aesthetically pleasing permanent railings.
This appears to have been a working tour for Michael, being led around by a top Imagineering executive.

I think George Kalogridis is in TDO Witness Protection until they announce the DD makeover.
They clearly don't want him out and seen ... although I'm sure he's been dealing with the NGE mess since he arrived.
