Met John Lasseter at the park!

Hey folks

Got back from 5 fabulous, if overcast days last week. Many, many highlights and also the experience of staying in Bussy Saint George which was fine. The park was very busy last Saturday....... honestly thought they were busier than previous experiences of NYE parties. The queues for Crush were unreal - the dash to it first thing in the morning was hilarious!

There was also a private party on on the Friday night (I was offered tickets at 120 euros - no thanks!). It was some set up though!

Was very chuffed to meet John Lassester - the man behind Pixar. Saw him wondering around the new Toon Studios on Wednesday. He was having a look around and taking pictures - he was with another gentleman who I probably should have known and who he said I would want a pic with if I knew who he was...lol! It was nice to chat to him about the new rides and stuff and he was talking about Ratatouille as well.

I'll get some pics uploaded in due course.

I guess it was this man....

As far as I know, he is an Imagineer.

Lucky you.

I read that it's his first visit to DLRP. Let's hope he likes it!

If he doesn't, I suspect he has the power to suggest changes

Yeah that was the other guy....would be interesting to know who he was.

He was impressed by the area but even offered up some thoughts when I asked him - he felt that Luigi and Gusippe (spelling) were going to look old soon as kids could get in to touch and climb all over them. He spent a long time looking around.......and made sure that we promised to go and see Ratatouille!
