OK...so I'm going to brag a little bit here. But it will be interesting to see if anybody has had a similar experience.
When I was about 14, we went to DL (where I probably went 4-6 times a year). We had just entered Main Street. To the left is the Fire House and a few buildings. From behind one of the doors, Mr. Disney came out. I recognized him and went over to him. He very graciously shook my hand, ask a couple questions about my visit ( who was I with? what were our plans for the day?).
For a 14 year old, that was one experience I will never forget!
Years later, when I ask a CM about Mr. Disney being there, I was told he had a office that he used when he wanted to see the park. It was over one of the buildings and he occasionaly came out. But...to this day, you will never get anyone at Disney to acknowledge the fact he had an office there. I got my information from the uncle of a friend that worked there (he released the doves at the opening ceremony every day...we got in free...A LOT)
Life is what you make it...then there's Disney!!!
