    Default Magical moment at AKL

    I was going to get coffee very early AM and met Joe Rhode in the hallway. Said hi and told him how much I enjoy AKL. I was thrilled to meet the Imagineer responsible for AK and AKL. Defiantly a magical moment for me.

    Very cool! We once saw him strolling through Animal Kingdom. He was with someone so we did not approach him.

    OMG- I'm such a fan of Joe Rohde! I think that if
    I was ever fortunate enough to meet him, I'd turn into a giggling, blathering mess. But you can be sure that next time I'm at AKL, I'll be taking a close look at all my fellow visitors, just in case. I'd love to meet him.

    So cool!

    I have a feeling if I ever ran into anyone famous, or important, in WDW I would never even notice.

    This may not be a magical moment for all but for anyone who wanted to see our president he was in the Jambo House lobby this afternoon. This must be the resort to have celeb sittings.

    This is me! We met an imagineer at E:E that worked on designing it and got to walk through the queue (sp?) area with him...super cool to get more info but I'm not any good with recognizing famous people.

    How cool! I think he's a really facinating guy!

    I got to meet Jim Henson once in DHS. It was shortly after the park opened. He was so nice, took time with everyone, and signed as many autographs as possible.
