Art the Greeter
Saw this on FB, I'm a "Fan"!

Re: Art the Greeter
This makes me so sad. Art is a one of a kind guy, he will be missed.

Re: Art the Greeter
He will definitely be missed. He is a great guy. We always looked forward to talking with him on our trips. Too bad we don't have a trip planned before he retires.

Re: Art the Greeter
I'm going to miss his last day by exactly one week.
We're scheduled for breakfast at Cape May on the 24th. Art isn't just a CM, he's a permanent fixture! Happy retirement Art.

Re: Art the Greeter
He has been around forever and will certainly be missed. I hope WDW gives him one hck of a send off for all those years of service.
 Happy retirement to him.

Re: Art the Greeter
Hard to imagine a trip without seeing Art. The kids called him the Captain.
 A true gentleman and who always made us smile and feel at home. Hope he has a great retirement.

Re: Art the Greeter
Makes me want to take a side trip on our way to our cuise to see him on the 17th. Instead of a Quicksilver grocery stop an Art the Greeter stop?

Well, you could tell them you want to buy your groceries at the snack bar/ grocery store ( don't remember the name) that is at BC.  We are sad. He truly is a treasure. |
