Hi guys...


My family went on a Make-A-Wish trip this past December and our trip included an incredible experience at the MVMCP as well as a private meet and greet with the gingerbread men/santa/fairy godmother/and an elf:) This was all arranged for us by some wonderful person here on the Dis (still unknown to me). Anyway, the parade manager at MK also had a professional photographer present to take pictures. The photos were intended to be for my family, not for Disney. I was just wondering if anyone might know who that parade manager might be (his name) and how I could get in touch with him. Long story but basically I'm hoping he still has access to the negatives.

If someone knows who it might be, or who I might contact to find out, could you please pm me with the info????? It was on a Thursday night, December 17th at the early parade. Thanx!!!!!!!!


How fun for all of you to spend some of your college years working at Disney. I'm jealous:)
 
nothin' huh??????

Hmmmm.

Maybe a picture will help. Certainly can't hurt right? Here's a picture of my son with the parade manager. I think I recall his first name being Mike.

Does he look familiar to anyone? (I hope he wouldn't mind me posting him here without his knowledge)

Any thoughts are appreciated. I've called guest relations at Disney and they have no idea how to figure out who this man is. I get sent around and around and around. I can't begin to tell you how many people I've talked to (and how many times I tried to explain the situation ugh).

I figured maybe someone here might know something since manyh have actually worked in the parks. I'm still hopeful!

I e-mailed a friend who works on Main Street the picture and asked him to see if he can figure out who he is and how you would get into contact with him. I will let you know what my friend says as soon as he responds.

Thank you so much for thinking of that! I hadn't even considered that even if one of you here don't know him you might be able to ask someone else you know who works at MK if they know him (did you follow that LOL). I realize your friend may not be able to help but just wanted you to know that I so appreciate the effort. :)

I just heard back from my friend. He doesn't know me but he said that he will take the picture to work and ask around to see if he can find someone that can get the needed contact info for you. He said that he can't guarantee anything, but he will try.
 
I know Mike. I will try to find him for you

OMG Do you????? (I'm almost in tears right now:laughing:) Thank you so much Joanna! You can't begin to imagine how happy I am right now.


(and how funny that you have a little gingerbread man running across under your avatar LOL)

And thank you again (and your friend) for offering to help. I'm so glad I thought to go out on a limb and ask you guys over here!!

Hey Joanna,

Just wanted to let you know that I was able to get some contact info on Mike and finally got in touch with him. He will be getting me another copy of the photo disc and I will be able to get it from him on our trip next week.

Thanx so much for offering. You will never know how it eased my mind a bit knowing that someone was out there trying to help.

As an aside, where DID you get that little running gingerbread man???? I think I need to get one myself one of those :)

If you are talking about what I think you are talking about, that's the logo that shows up when you provide the Disboards with an AIM screen name. That's their logo. :)
