    Other park maps he is going to discuss...
    At this point he sensed he was loosing most of the audience, some geeks like myself were actually interested but most were not.. so he moved on to the surprise of the morning..
    It turned out to be the Trivia challenge
  • Page Number: 5
    They did a quick selection round by asking each section of the audience a question. Once the 8 contestants were selected they took the stage and introduced themselves.
    I did not catch all their names, so I will not even try (if someone has the names I would be more than happy to update this caption)
    The first round each person was given the opportunity to answer a question.

    The first presentation of the morning was done by Imagineers Jason Surrell, Alex Wright and Jason Grandt.
