Some very disheartening news is coming in this Christmas Eve that will break the hearts of countless Cast Members and guest alike. The larger-than-life Mayor of Main Street, U.S.A., the Honorable Christopher George Weaver has passed away.
He is everyone’s favorite politician and his inimitable spirit will be greatly missed at the Magic Kingdom.
Many mornings he has presided over the Magic Kingdom Welcome Show just before Rope Drop. After the park opens, you would often find him wandering around Main Street, USA, greeting guests, signing autographs and posing for photos.
He been greeting guests with smiles and laughs for many years. He was a pleasure to meet and so glad I got that chance on many occasions over the years. Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time.
