Epcot Food/wine Festival Opening- Anyone Know Bud?

[CDizney]

Well, the start of the Festival is today and what a treat! Can't wait to go in 3 weeks.

For all of my fellow Festival junkies who go year after year or for the newbies to the Festival, don't forget to be on the lookout and to say "hello" to Bud if you attend a wine seminar or cooking class demo. Bud is a senior gentleman that has been a CM greeter/counter for years at quite a few of the classes that are held.

He works hard to get folks into full classes if possible, lends a joke to those of us who wait in these lines to get in, and is just a doll of a person!!!!!!! I fondly consider Bud as part of my festival memories each year.

I thought it might be funny to also to see if anyone else knows/remembers Bud besides me.

My husband and I have gone to the Festival since 2007. We also love Bud! But don't forget his wife Jeannie. She also works the festival...usually only the wine seminars. They also work other special events at EPCOT. I look for them every time we visit. It is amazing that they recognize us as well. We also have to visit Pam in the PUB, she is a treat!

I haven't had the pleasure to get to know Jeannie as well as Bud but now that I know she works there I will have to say hello!!!!!!!

I've been attending the Festival since 1997. I'm assuming the same year as you but you had 2007 so I guess you mean 1997.
