Fri 8/10/2007 4:26p | Wow, I remember that exhibit from my first trip to Disneyland in April of 1999. This article is great and also surprising, I did not know they used the rainbow mickey outfit outside of EPCOT Center, let alone in 97.
Thank you. |

Fri 8/10/2007 11:06p | Jeepers! I remember seeing that Tomorrowland exhibit when the Gallery first opened!
A shame that the Disney Gallery is closing because I always liked to see the latest exhibits and I never got a chance to sit in the balcony during the Fantasmic show. The closest I got was dropping on DlandDug when he was up there. Alas I wasn't allowed and was told to leave. I don't understand why because I was just a friend seeing DlandDug. That still hurt me. |

Cause it wasn't free and those people paid to sit up there to watch the show. |

We were all kind of surprised that Mickey showed up in that outfit. Even then it seemed retro.
Salmon? They served salmon? I guess I was too busy talking up the Disney Legends. I do remember the breakfast was nice, though. May I assume we are seeing the side of your head in those pictures...?
As db pointed out, the Fantasmic! balcony is ticketed-- and must be purchased 30 days in advance! The Gallery can't accommodate last minute guests. Sorry. |

Sat 8/11/2007 12:12p | No, not the side of my head. I was the Ambassador in 1997. Well, one of the three. And the one who was fortunate enough to host this event that day! What an awesome year that was, Light Magic and all. I actually met you face to face a few years later at the Ambassador Ceremony in the Who Wants To Be a Millionaire: Play It attraction when Becky Murphy was chosen to be the Ambassador. My picture is in your LP story from that day, also! :) I have lots of pictures in my photo album from that day. And the reason I remember the salmon is because my then-boyfriend was the sous-chef responsible for working that event. Even though he's now an ex, the salmon was still top notch! |

Sat 8/11/2007 12:23p | Wow.
I am in awe.
I had such a time identifying you! I couldn't find a succinct list for the Disneyland Ambassadors for each year. An extensive Google search turned up... my own story about the 2003 Ambassador ceremony, with your photo. Later, when I checked the Magical Memory brick out in front of the entrance to Disneyland, I was surprised to find there were THREE Ambassadors that year. So I am glad I had a picture to work from! |

Sat 8/11/2007 12:30p | I really should get a list of the Ambassdors from each year and e-mail it to you. I am sure it doesn't come up often but if it's ever needed it might be nice to have some sort of resource. I'll e-mail Adonis and Garnett and see if they have a document already saved with just names and years.
Maybe I will see you at the Ambassdor Ceremony this year. It's scheduled for the 19th of October. I'll be a bit tired from the Halloween Treat the night before but I'll be there with bells on! I hope to see you then! |
