Exclamation I met the President on Opening Day!

Yes! That's right! I met the president...of DISNEY!

I was walking to the EPCOT rope drop on April 5th, the first morning of the Flower and Garden Show. I was watching people. Families to the left, masses to the right, and who were all those people standing right in the center of the walkway? Looked like a bunch of "big-wigs" surrounding some guy in khaki pants, canvas shoes, and a wrinkled oxford shirt. As I approached I noticed that the cast member pin on this guy with the untucked shirt said "Bob". So I paused and listened. Sure enough. This was President Bob!

Never being shy a day in my life, I asked if I could shake his hand as I thanked him for all of the "magic". He asked my name and where I was from. I asked him if it would be OK to have a picture taken. "Why, sure!" he said. So I handed my camera to the nearest person...VP, Brad Rex!

Thanks, Rex for taking the picture. I have to hand it to Bob. If he hadn't been encased in all those executives, I would have walked right by!

It's all about the fun!

Thumbs up

Wow How cool is that, you were definitely in the right place at the right time. At least he was dressed correctly for EPCOT, a couple of the others in the picture were a little overdressed for EPCOT, but I realize they were at work......
