Victorian hospital in an English city,
two Italian immigrants working as
cleaners play the card game, Scopa,
gambling for cups tea and reminiscing of

Scopa's first trip to Walt Disney World was over 26
years ago. Things were simple back then. With only the
Magic Kingdom and a few Disney-owned resorts in
Orlando, planning a trip was easy in the 1970s.
Of
course, now things have changed. Over the last 10
years, Mike has perfected the art of planning family
trips to Walt Disney World resort. Over the last 11
years, Mike has hosted chats and bulletin boards about
Disney for a Fortune 100 company. |
