Great article Jim.

As a New Yorker, 9/11 obviously is a very....I don't even know how to describe it.

Anyway, it's interesting to read what happened in the parks on that day.

Neal G. says he and his wife left AK at around 11:30 and didn't hear an announcement. What time did the parks close? By 9AM, the country knew it was under attack, so it seems odd that AK wouldn't be closed until then or that cast members wouldn't notice stray guests an hour or two after evacuation.

9/11 Remembrance

Today's the sixth anniversary, of course, and even after six years I still get that sick feeling in the pit of my stomach when I think about it. I have images of the second tower hit, the fires, the buildings...

Let us remember not only those who sacrificed and served on September 11, but also the everyday workers who - in a time of extreme emotional pain - pitched in to stay on the job and help others. We should also be thankful that Disney and other organizations had disaster plans in place ahead of time so they could respond quickly and in an organized fashion when tragedy hit.

It has to be said that if an annoncement had been put in place it proabaly would have caused uber ciaos. I mean can you imagine if parents were ridding Dumbo all happy go lucky then all of the sudden a cast member makes an annoncement along the lines of "we have just learned that america is under attack by terriosts and the Magic Kingdom will now close, please exit in an orderly fashion." I mean I for one would not be exiting in a orderly fashion I'd be grabbin my kid and running, so basically what I'm saying here is that the idea of only telling people what happended if they asked was a smart one....

Simply moving article. I'm most impressed with those who had to deny thier emotions, suck it up, and do thier job for the sake of others. Tear jerking. Thanks Jim Hill for posting this.

Great article. I was only 6 when it happened, so I don't really remember the day, nor did I really understand what happened. But now that I understand what really happened on that day, it is absolutely horrible. Thank you for putting this article here.
