Interviews
Without a doubt, one of the best parts of running LaughingPlace.com is meeting really cool people. Often, as a part of covering events, we have the chance to meet and talk with some well-known Disney figures. But sometimes we get really lucky and have the opportunity to interview these personalities. The reason this is so fresh on my mind is yesterday and today I've had the chance to interview two people who's names are almost synonymous with Disney, and what a delight it's been. In the next few weeks you'll find out who these two are.

In the nine months of LaughingPlace.com's existence we've been able to interview Imagineers and Imagineering legends, executives and musicians, an author and even the president of Disneyland (briefly). In case you missed any of them, here they are in chronological order:
