Disney Pop Century Resort Media Event October 10, 2003 Orlando, Florida This new Disney resort has areas dedicated to different popular themes and icons from the last century. Areas of the resort represent different decades. The resort actually opens in December, 2003, but this event was a preview for media to see what it is all about. I was invited to be the Rubik's Cube guy. It looks like a fun place! |

 These are people from the Brady Bunch, they were at the event too. This is Marcia on the right (Maureen McCormick). and Peter on the left, (Chris Knight). They are being interviewed by a reporter from Telemundo, the Spanish TV station. We are standing outside the the carousel ride at Magic Kingdom. |

 This is one of the many interviews I did; the reporter is Tara Arnold, from WLUK in Green Bay, Wisconsin, doing a show called "Good Morning Wisconsin". |
 Teaching Tara how to do the cube |
 A view of the media event site - there were reporters there from all over the world. I had to get up at 3:30am because the interviews for the morning news shows started at 5am. It was a long day! I was on about a dozen different shows, but I didn't get pictures of all of them. |
|
 Snow White was very mpressed! |
 This is a show called "KARE 11 Today" from Minneapolis, it is a morning talk show. The hosts are Roxanne Battle and Pat Evans. They did a live broadcast from the site, and I did a 20-second solve for them on the air! |
 Lucky (yes, that is his real name) and me. His yo-yo tricks were incredible! |
 At the resort - this is a mood ring. They were popular in the 1970's |
