Matt O. Encounter

[Chernabog413]

Last October I tried to search for him (so that I could talk to him about my ride ideas), when I saw him come out of the City Hall building with a few other "suits" around him. I was too afraid to talk to him that day, as you can imagine why. The next day we were talking to a relative who works in the Greetings From California store when a woman in a suit came by to ask her if they had enough of a certain item on the shelves and in stock. We thought nothing of it, but when we returned to talk to my cousin again a few hours later, she had told us that Matt was in the store at the same time we were. I had two chances to talk to him, but blew it.

Hey! I saw him when I went during spring break....I just didn't recognize him. I should've bothered him about Space Mountain the rest of the day...*sigh*

Awesome. This is the kinda stuff I like to hear. It really does sound like he loves the business. I would love to be in his shoes.

I would love to be in his shoes.

Yeah, imagine how much you could get for them on Ebay...

It was a pleasure meeting you guys yesterday! I really should have taken you on Space Mtn, but I had to meet some folks from Corporate Accounting at Morton's for lunch.

Take care and enjoy the 50th!

Today me and my friend went to disneyland in the afternoon and we were going to go on Big Thunder because we have a friend who works on that ride. Then i looked to the left of me and i saw Matt Ouimet (not sure if i spelled the last name right). I then told my friend who that was and then we started to follow Matt. When we were finally right next to him my friend screamed Matt and waved. Matt came up to us and shook our hands and asked us our names and if we were enjoying our time at Disneyland. After we answered he then asked us if we liked space mountain and said that it was amazing and that he rode it yesterday. My friend then asked if it was going to be different during the night and Matt took a little bit of time to answer and said "maybe, you just have to wait and see." We then said bye and he told us to have a great day and we left. Then like 8 or 10 minutes later we see him again and wave and he waved back. This is the second time that i have seen him in the park walking. It was awesome talking to him and it made my day. He was extremly nice to us and i just think that he is a great man.

oh matt, if only you'd known when you chosen your screenname how easy it would be to try to mislead others

I've had this name longer than the guy you keep gushing over. As for any confusion as to what I really look like, here is my current picture:

MattO, your avatar bears a striking resemblance to Shirley; Shirley Liquor.

For what it's worth, Cynthia Harriss was really good at this too, though not as genuine as I hear Matt is. Cynthia was always very nice and chatty while in the park with guests (at least, in my experience), but she was definite a slick, corporate type. Matt comes off as a regular guy, which I think is fantastic. Can he be CEO too?

I'm not sure who that is. I suppose you are not a John Waters fan?

[Goin2Disneyland]

I've only seen Hairspray, and it didn't do much for me. Shirley is...um...never mind.
