I just met John Lasseter at the Annies on Sunday – he is completely the nicest guy ever! I can’t believe how long he was able to stand talking, and taking photos with a 17 year old geek! 😀 When he gave me his autograph – he even did a drawing of Lightning McQueen – I tell you, I will never, ever, forget that!
I also thought it was funny that he used to be a sweeper for Tomorrowland when Space Mountain opened, my mom once had a friend who worked there at the time, and she was able to ride it 6 times before it opened to the public because of her friend who was a sweeper and snuck her in as an employee (security wasn’t as tight as it is now). I wonder if her friend knew him, that would be pretty funny if he did.
