Cool Convention!

I just went to a cool convention this weekend with several Disney related guests and thought that I would report in here with the details.
We started out early today and got to get into the convention early. We wandered around for a little while until we found the first guest....
Hayley Mills
She was a really cool lady! Hayley turned out to be exactly as I expected, for polite and friendly. We got an autographed photo and I got the Parent Trap and Pollyanna DVDs signed. I asked her about Walt Disney, I wanted to know if he was like the way we imagine him to be from what we saw of him on TV, etc. I was happy to hear that he was, she said that I would have been very happy to meet him, he was a kind and gentle person. She also said that he was shy, which sort of surprised me a bit. She mentioned that he personally took her and her family to Disneyland several times.
Adrienne Barbeau
Next I got Adrienne Barbeau, although not a Disney guest I mention this here for completeness. She too was very cool, we discussed some very non-Disney movies, heh heh, and I got my copies of Swamp Thing and Creepshow signed.
Cindy Morgan
Cindy Morgan appeared in Tron as Lora/Yori and was very approachable and friendly. She talked about how Disney gave her a free paid vacation to WDW to attend the opening of Mission: Space at Epcot. They gave her a lot of freebies too, I learned after commenting on her really cool Mickey tote bag. She mentioned something about talks about another Tron film possibly. Very cool!
Kim Richards
Finally I got to meet Kim Richards, star of the Witch Mountain movies. Of course I got both of them signed and chatted with her a little bit. She was extremely friendly!
So, it was a really good day! One of the best conventions that I have been to in quite a while, not only as far as guests go, but in general. It wasn't crowded at all, everryone was super friendly and it was just really cool. No disappointments today! Anyway, I hope you enjoyed my little report.
