ismaelg Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Miguel, That'll be cool! I'm a huge Disney fan as well. They were very popular whenever they came to our engineering school for recruiting. We all dreamed about working with them. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbo Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 (edited) Hi...I did go to the MGM Theme Park today and I was amazed with the Disney's Models , I am posting some photos , I guess some of you already have been there ,but this is for the benefit of those that have not . Today is very important for me, my son's first day at Magic Kingdom (Disney World) as Chef .I was able to enter with him at Disney University for trainng , and believe me it is incredible , perhaps one day I can enter behind the scenes of scale model special effects or have our first Disney Scale Model Event........ I have always dreamed the Magic................Have fun........Barbo http://s123.photobucket.com/albums/o295/mb4985/003_3-1.jpg http://s123.photobucket.com/albums/o295/mb4985/004_4-1.jpg http://s123.photobucket.com/albums/o295/mb4985/007_7-1.jpg http://s123.photobucket.com/albums/o295/mb4985/008_8-1.jpg http://s123.photobucket.com/albums/o295/mb4985/009_9-1.jpg http://s123.photobucket.com/albums/o295/mb4985/012_12.jpg Edited September 14, 2007 by Barbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
