Goofy and Laurie

I'm sure you're familiar with the character on the left but any idea who's taking up the spot on the right? That's Laurie Skreslet, the first Canadian to summit Mount Everest. Laurie was along on the Disney media trip to mark the opening of Expedition Everest, the new roller-coaster type attraction in the Animal Kingdom in Florida. I sat beside Laurie on the ride. He giggled all the way. I screamed.

Laurie is heading back to the big hill in three weeks to accompany the British military.
