A wink and a smile to the Hat Lady at Epcot's Rose and Crown

If the lady behind the piano at Epcot's Rose and Crown Pub looks familiar, even under an assortment of crazy hats, you've probably seen her yukking it up with the gang at Comedy Warehouse on Pleasure Island.
Carol Stein, accompianist to the Warehouse troupe for years, is now perfoming at the United Kingdom Pavilion pub as the Hat Lady, and she brings her trademark glee to the proceedings.
She really is a woman of many hats, as a handy rack lets her change her headgear on any comic whim.
On my recent visit, she even tipped her hat to another Pleasure Island icon.
I had just stopped in to the Rose and Crown during the Food & Wine Festival, when Carol launched into a takeoff of "Do-Re-Mi" from "The Sound of Music." This takeoff is all about buying beer -- Maria von Trapp would not have been singing it, let alone teaching it to children.
At the conclusion of the humorous piece, I told her I had been taught that song by the Colonel at the Adventurers Club, to which she replied, "So was I!" She then launched into the Adventurers Club theme song, and more than a few people hollered back "Kungaloosh!"
Her next number, "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" had funny, extremely fast-moving lyrics and seemed a hit -- even with the Brits in the pub.
Nice to see a Pleasure Island alum land on her feet so quickly! Cheers!
