Well, not a surprise to Disney, but definitely a pleasant surprise to us. We were wandering around New Orleans Square in the afternoon and noticed that they had some kind of set-up on the balcony of the Disney Gallery, where they have the Fantasmic dessert buffet. There was a camera and lights and reflectors and stuff, all around a man sitting in a chair with his back to the river. I thought he looked kind of familiar but dismissed the notion. Then we looked a bit more, and sure enough, it was him.

That's very cool. Did you think you were seeing things when you first saw him?

It's late and I can't figure out who it is. (I'm sure I will feel stupid after everyone tells me).

That is very cool. I but you did a double take. I would have loved to have seen him in person. Thank you for sharing the picture.

H22kai--It is Roy Disney (Walt Disney's nephew).

Well, it was really a matter that while I've seen pictures of him and might be able to recognize him if I saw a picture of him or saw his face, I didn't think I'd seen enough pictures to be able to recognize him from the back of his head. Apparently, I can, at least in this instance.
