Creator's Key Takeaways

I just rode Spaceship Earth the other day. It is about the roughest it has ever looked in my life. It is a disaster in there.

The restaurant in Paris though is magnificent and it's a real shame we never got that in Florida.

I hope they're going to settle this. They're going to figure this out because um there is a part of me that wants to see it right.
