take you back to the opening day of the Disney-MGM Studios, way back on
May 1, 1989. Our very own How and our guest, Hoot Gibson were waiting
in the parking lot all night to be the first through the gates. They
discuss rubbing elbows with Michael Eisner and Bob Hope and of course
giving commentary about being the first to see different attractions.
How has a great story about being the first person ever to take a pie to
the face at Super Star Television. Join us as we relive opening day,
through the eyes of the attendees. Todd references his trip in August
1989 and you can see nearly 40 minutes of vintage Disney-MGM studios

of great mail this month, thanks so much for your emails! Kurt sent us a
note asking about the World of Motion and how the scenes resemble books
and photographs. The group gives him our answer and where he can locate
the different scenes in print form. We also heard from Gordon, who did
some recon for us, finding out that the Centorium did not have an early
morning smell. The evening check though, did revealed a stench....  We
had lots of great photos sent to us via twitter this month, super cool.
