Lou...

I thought you were going to say something else.
 
 
Once it's done, "Community Property" rules apply.
 
 
Let me ponder that for about 10 milliseconds.........................uhh, no.
 
 
Slim is right, but I'll do a Cel painting of her favorite character, Cinderella, and have it ready for her on her next visit to WDW.

Yes I am.
 
 
Who is on first.
 
 
Nope, Melvin's butt is still sticking out through the side of the house.

I think Marty just gave me a shot as I know she doesn't really mean it.

Marty's getting mad.
As one of those people that you're referring to, the reading of this thread doesn't bother me, but the moaning and the whining about big bad Disney, and how dare they, makes me go, hmmmmm?

Save the horn, dump the rest.
Maybe Bob will buy it. It might be faster than the one he has now.

This one has a lot of detail, but still not the latest. Some things have been relocated.
 

Found a different one.
 

Which one?
 
 

Been there, done that, more than once.
Brian and Mo, Red Sox game on TV, wine, the Fort, does it get any better, I don't think so.
 
 
 

They've started the staffing process, so it's getting close.
 
 
 Nope, there is absolutely nothing else in the Magic Kingdom to entertain you.

Thanks to all you knuckleheads and schmuck faces, you know who you are.
And yes, I did have a magical day as I wasn't called in to make any magic for the magic seekers today.
I know some of you are wondering, has he reached 70 yet, he looks it? No, I'm still four years away.

Mo is very busy, so she asked me to tell you that the TGs are available only for the current week.
Later this week, next weeks TG will be available, but that's as far in advance as they're made available to Mo.
Isn't she amazing?

Whoever did that mod did a good job.
 
Do they use that porta-potty sitting on the drawer slide like that?  Doesn't look like it would be a good idea to sit on it.

First progress report.
This shows the overall size of the painting which will be 30" x 15".
I painted the sky that is directly around the castle first, and then sketched in the castle. It's much easier to do it this way rather than paint in the sky after the castle is done, saves a lot of time.
As the castle is the focal point, I started with it.
Next is to add color, and an excruciating amount of architectural detail.

That's actually a photo of MS USA taken during a Halloween party.
I'm going to change the banners to a July 4th theme seeing that a lot of flags are waving.
I'll be doing it in segments, and I take progress photos anyway, I'll post those. 
It'll take a few months as I only put in a few hours a day, if that.

Yeah, but it's themed after a cartoon rat. That's ridiculous, who will go to a theme park that has a rat as a mascot?

Actually that's not where I got the name from, it's work related.
Buses are referred to based on whatever bus hub they're operating from.
If you're working out of DHS, you're a Studiosbus, if you're working out of Epcot, you're an Epcotbus, and if you're working out of the MK, wait for it,........... you're a Magicbus. The other hub names didn't sound as good as Magibus, and as I liked driving out of the MK, it was Magicbus.
 
And while I have your attention Ramon, I'd like to respond to something you said in a previous post.
 
"Next time your in the MK look into the eyes of those little ones that are seeing Main Street USA and Cindys castle for the first time and tell me you don't see the magic in their eyes".
 
There is no need for me to go into a park to witness that, and I'm assuming that the other drivers have experienced the same thing, but I have seen that same look in hundreds of kids eyes over the years as they get on the bus.
 
They'll look up at me, pause, and look at me as if I'm something special, not just schmuck face bus driver.
Sometimes, I'll get a little wave from the real little ones as they pass by in their parents arms. Or every once in a while, after the ride is over, one will ask for a hug. And even though you all know I don't hug, I do.
 
There are 2 incidents that really stand out though. The first was when a little boy ran up to me, he was very excited. He opened up his hands and showed me a little toy Disney bus that he had just gotten. His mom told me that he just had to show it to me, wow.
And the other was when another little boy handed me a home made card when we arrived at the park which read, thanks for making my visit magical. Whoa, another big wow.
These types of incidents caught me off guard when I first started, and I remember telling my wife about them when they occurred.
 
My time as a WDW bus driver is probably drawing to a close in the not too distant future. It's become a job now, and after six years, it's getting kinda old. I'm going through the motions, but one of the things that keeps me going are those types of incidents, which btw, and I'm glad to say, still happen on occasion.
 
So yes, I do know what the magic is, and where to find it.
