AS MY REGULAR READERS KNOW, I RETIRED IN JULY OF THIS YEAR. I WORKED FOR REEDY CREEK IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT AT WALT DISNEY WORLD. ONE CAN CHECK OUT REEDY CREEK ON THE INTERNET SO IT IS NOT A BIG SECRET. WE WERE THE GOVERNMENT ESTABLISHED BY WALT TO EASE TAX BURDENS ON THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS BEFORE DISNEY WORLD OPENED. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED CHECK IT THE INFORMATION ON THE NET.
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
THEY SERVED BLUE MARTINI'S IN LIGHTED GLASSES TO KEEP, BEER, SODA AND WINE ALL NIGHT LONG. ROE LOVED THE GLASSES SO I THINK WE BROUGHT HOME AROUND 7. I HAD MY MARTINI'S FOR THE YEAR.
WE ENJOYED THE RIDES, STAR TOURS, IN FACT WE WERE THE ONLY ONES ON THE FIRST RIDE AND ENJOYED A SECOND ONE. TOY STORY SHOOTING GALLERY RIDE AND THE FIRE WORKS AT THE END WAS SPECTACULAR. WE ENJOYED THE OSBORNE FAMILY LIGHTS WHICH LIT UP THE PARK. FINALLY WE HAD TO CALL IT A NIGHT AND BELIEVE ME OLD JOEY Z AND ROE SLEPT LIKE BABIES IN A CRIB. A GREAT PLACE TO WORK FOR AND THE BEST JOB I EVER HAD WAS WITH REEDY CREEK. MISS ALL THOSE PEOPLE BUT NEVER THE JOB NOW THAT I'M RETIRED.
