My grandson is part of the Mission Space pre-show!

[Poohlovr]

While standing in the line for Mission Space today, I was watching some of the "computer" monitors that show people on the ride. Low and behold, there was my grandson!
I watched it run through once, then noticed on the next monitor, there he was again, only this was a different tape!

On the first monitor, the screen is divided into 4 squares and he's in the upper left square. He's only sitting still in this one. On the second monitor, it's a full screen view. It shows him doing his space crew duties and then giving a thumbs up sign.

I grabbed my friend and said "That's my grandson! I just saw him!!" She thought I was nuts, since my grandson is back in Kentucky, not here at WDW. But, sure enough, when she watched the monitors, there he was.

Wow! My grandson is part of a WDW ride pre-show!

Wow Your DGS is part of the magic As seldom as they update those video pieces he'll probably get to show that to his own children someday

I'm surprised they didn't have to get his parent's permission to use his face in a video clip.

Very cool though!

Actually, I think it is on the ticket media to get into the park that they have the right to photograph/tape anyone, and by using the ticket you agree to the release. That said, I would assume they did get a written release for anyone that is going to be put on public display. I seem to remember that my partner and I both had to sign a form when we got our picture taken for the Leave a Legacy display at Epcot...

While I don't see that on my ticket, I do remember seeing it at the park--that you give permission for your likeness or photograph to be used for promotional purposes.

But, no, we never signed a release or anything.

No matter how it got there, it was a thrill seeing it.
