Our trip is missing a little something if my dd doesn't get to say hi to Art!! Even if we aren't staying at BC or BW, we have to make the trek over to say hi. I did get to talk with Art in Sept...he said he was so thankful and blesses by all the well-wishers here, on the DIS boards. He said that his doctors were amazed at how well he recuperated..he said that he told them it was the prayers of his WDW friends that got him through.
I know Art won't be standing there, in the BC lobby forever, but as far as my dd and I are concerned, we will always 'see' him there, greeting everyone with that famous smile and salute!!! He is truly a Disney treasure.
