One juicy tidbit I found out about the 5th: due to a shuffle in the way the schedule food service workers, where people with lesser seniority started getting better schedules and long-time servers were suddenly working many less hours and bussing tables, there was a food-service worker "sick-out" on the 5th. Many food-service workers called in sick on what was supposed to be one of DL's greatest days.

Which explains why Zocolo wasn't open and many lines for food were insanely slow. One CM told me that they had to bring front-gate people in to help with the food.

I too think the boos for Eisner were appropriate. The man has single-handedly done more damage to the beloved Disney company and DL in particular. He deserves to get the reception he did. I was fortunate enough to get up pretty close (or at least as close as a pedestrian could get). When the booing started, I could see the knowing smirk on the faces of many CMs - suits and working class stiffs alike. Of course there were a couple of management wanna-bes with mortified looks on their faces that stepped up and clapped. All in lock-step with the boss.

I've noticed that there hasn't been a lot (LoT) of traffic here on LoT. That's because a good half of the board was at the park from insanely early hours (including Disneyphile and Frodo Potter who were there at 5:05 a.m.) and stayed until the bitter end.

Art Linkletter and Julie Andrews were both amazing! Julie Andrews is still the most gracious and graceful human being. Art Linkletter came in on the same car that drove Walt in on opening day! The man is 92 years old and later this year will be celebrating his 70th wedding anniversary! But the man still gets around with an amazing energy!

I have only one thing to say about the new fireworks show:

OH
MY
GOD!!!

Immediately after the show, Susan says to me, "I just want to let you know that we are coming here every single night this summer to watch fireworks."

You have GOT to see this show!!!!
