JP-WDW connection?

[Mr. Bildo]

After some of the JP posts I remembered a question I was dying to ask, here goes.

I was on the train at MK and listening to the narration (we did the circle). The voice kept sounding familiar to me. Then I relized that the voice sounded just like the voice of the narrator in the "tour" part of JP. I'm not talking about when they were out with the dinosaurs, that was Richard Kiley. But when they are watching that movie talking about how they extract the DNA from the mosquitos. In IMDB is lists the character as "Mr. DNA". The actor's name is Greg Burson. Is this the same voice? Does anyone know who the voice is for the MK train?

Thanks

After I expressed my doubt about Jack Wagner being the current narrator of the WDW Railroad, Spencer from MK guest relations did a little more digging and found that while Mr Wagner provided the original narration, the current spiel was recorded by an actor named Ron Schneider. Mr Schneider also provided some voice talent for the old Journey into Imagination, and will soon record a new Tomorrowland spiel for the WDW Railroad. Sorry about the incorrect information on the original response, but I think that just goes to show the lengths the cast will go to in order to provide excellent guest service.

And now you know!

And knowing is half the battle!

Go Joe!

Thanks so much.. that was really weighing on my mind. You know how those thoughts get in there and won't get out? If it wasn't for Steve, I might have gone insane!

Oh, by the way, I found out yesterday that Mr. Schneider will actually be recording a new spiel for the entire grand circle tour of the WDW railroad that should debut in time for the 100 Years of Magic celebration.
