This week, we are showcasing Disney imagineer Retta Scott. Retta is credited as being the very first Disney Studio animator. Celebrating her, all ties in to her date of birth - the 23rd February 1916. 
 
As Bambi former supervising animator Frank Thomas recalled, “Retta had an astounding ability to draw powerful animals. She seemed to have a keen understanding of their moods and attitudes.”
 
She was inducted as a Disney Legend in 2000, sadly ten years after her death. 
 
Snacks and Drinks Kiosk - Norway, EPCOT
Finally the new kiosk has opened to enable you to buy alcoholic or non alcoholic beverages plus the much-loved school bread. Beware - this location does not accept cash!
