A memory blurry like a vhs distortion or a migraine from a toupee that’s too tight

A photo of me the exact moment I discovered the phone booths in the UK pavilion at Epcot don’t have an actual receiver on them anymore

Sad to hear that Norm passed away. He was an incredibly talented artist and I consider myself very lucky to be able to see him at this panel. I’m so glad that he got to go to Epcot and see the impact he has on the park with his grandkids during this event
