Exactamundo! Hope was also the last person to take off from the STOLport at WDW.
Not the last to land there though, that honor goes to a Wrong-Way Corrigan who thought he was landing at Kissimmee. Disney made him disassemble his plane and take it out by truck as the strip had been decommissioned long before.
And for those who missed it, the cart was named "Bwana Bob's" because of the Hope film "Call Me Bwana".

Could you give a hint? Google has yielded nothing.
Legend: Alligators dwell in the sewers beneath Disneyland.
Truth: There are no sewers below Disneyland, and therefore no alligators in them. The secret tunnels are infested with mutant rats, however.

Churchy dahling, please give us a hint!
In the meantime.... Could the collection of Helen Larson schtuff be of Finding Nemo and the longer lasting attraction be the submarines?
Don't even justify that with a response.

I can't think of what attraction Helen Larson was associated with, but I believe she had been involved with General Motors.
Good hard one there!
