Re: Your Pet Peeves

21.Are the ducks real? Yup and they make Real Loud POP when the monorail runs them over.

Rumor has it that the Sky Tower (SFMM) will be reopening when Tatsu is finished. I know the construction management have been using the elevator to get photos of the overall progress of Tatsu.

I'm told the unofficial motto of the MK Entertainment Department is: "On stage, all Comedy -- Backstage, all Drama!" Zazu....I can tell you with confidence that the motto would apply to any Entertainment Department...not just the MK. At least that's the way it is on the West Coast....
