Goodbye, Roy

Roy E. Disney, son of Disney Studios co-founder Roy O., and the nephew of Walt, has died at the age of 79.

Roy E. was involved with the Walt Disney Company for more
than 56 years and was vice chairman of the BoD from 1984-2003, and chairman of the Studios' animation department. More recently, Roy E. served as director emeritus and consultant for the Company.


Disneyphiles (Disney lovers) may remember Roy E. as the man who 'took on' Michael Eisner in 2003-05, when many were dissatisfied with Eisner's job performance as head of Disney.

Requiescat in Pace, Roy

Dancin' in the Park


We were at the EPCOT/World Showcase this weekend and I always check out the model train at the Germany pavilion when we're there. 



There is a pavilion in the village. And in the pavilion there is a dancing couple. Either they fell over (probably) or ... maybe the CMs were having some fun because I do suspect they move things around during non-open hours..



P.S.  Mickey has been A.W.O.L. from the castle for quite some time. Please come back, Mickey!
