Hi! I'm Anita!
 Got
a question about Walt Disney World? I probably have the answer! Deb's
Unofficial Walt Disney World Information Guide is the most comprehensive
guide to the World on the Web, but if you still can't find the information
you're looking for by using the Site Map,
the Search
Function, or the Anita Answer Archives, drop
me a line and I'll do my best to find the answer for you. Since
there are only 24 hours in a day, I can't answer every email I receive
- however, I do read every one and try to answer as many as possible.
Check back weekly and see if your answer is waiting, and be sure to check
out my blog, Anita Talk. Meanwhile,
I'm All Ears!

Hello,
Anita. Your column is TOPS!
This is
a question about the Streetmosphere actors in Disney's Hollywood Studios.
There are three very funny comic performers that do several routines
together on Hollywood Boulevard each day that remind me of the Three
Stooges. I always look forward to seeing them when I visit, but who
are they?
Hi
Lynne!
You didn't
give me much of a description to go on, but I'll take an educated guess.
There are quite a few Studios Streetmosphere
characters, but I think you may be referring to Hollywood Public Works.
This troupe is three guys dressed as plumbers, electricians and sewer
workers, who do a hilarious show involving people from the audience.
I've seen them most often on Sunset Boulevard, but that's the cool thing
about Streetmosphere --you never know where they might turn up! By name,
the characters are Boss Gus Goobleman, Frederick Lewenowsky, Sparky
Sparks, and sometimes subbing for other members, Frankie Scottkey. Does
that sound like who you remember seeing?

Any idea
what the musical arrangement is that plays on Soarin'? The music you
hear matches the breathtaking ride! Can it be purchased on either CD
or iTunes? Love your column! Thank you.
Hi Robyn!
The score
for Soarin' is called, appropriately
enough, "Soarin'." It's an original composition by Jerry Goldsmith,
the prolific film and television composer. It's available on the CD,
"Music from Disney's California Adventure" as well as "The
Walt Disney World Official Album."
Happy listening!

Hi Anita!
Thank you for making my Monday mornings exciting! Your column is the
first thing I look at every Monday!
My question
is an interesting one. I know that the theme parks sell Coke products.
I also remember seeing somewhere that Epcot has a place where you can
try Coke products from around the world for free. Does this still exist,
and where is it located? I looked all over for it on my last trip to
the World and couldn't find it! Thank you so much for what you do!
Hi
Rebecca!
It was
hiding in plain sight! It's called Club
Cool, and it's located on the west side of the Innoventions
Plaza Fountain in Epcot's Future
World. To find it, when you enter the park from the front gates, stay
to the right, walk past Spaceship Earth
and head toward the fountain. On the right side of the walkway, you'll
see the Club Cool sign. Walk right in and start sampling!
Weird Tip
of the Week: I once used the Italian drink, Beverly, to get some Norwegian
red wine out of a white blouse after I had spilled it on myself. No,
really! I swear it works!

Do you
remember the name of the restaurant located at the Poly which was on
the ground I think just off the main building, I believe in the direction
of the Ticket and Transportation Center? It has been gone for probably
at least 10 yrs.
Hi
AJ!
It sounds
like the Tangeroa Terrace to me. The restaurant closed in June 1996.
In 2006, when Captain Cook's
underwent an extensive refurbishment, the Tangeroa Terrace served as
a temporary "grab and go" snack bar, but is usually only used
for the occasional private function.

Is the
voice of Abraham Lincoln at the Hall of Presidents, character actor
Royal Dano? I have always thought it was, but just wanted to double
check.
Thanks
so much for all the valuable time and effort you put into your answers.
Hi
Rebecca!
Royal Dano
was the original voice of Abraham Lincoln in the Hall
of Presidents, but was replaced by veteran Disney voice actor
Pete Renoudet in 1993 when the show was reworked.

I'm curious
to see if you have this answer. I went to the Garden View Lounge for
Afternoon Tea the day before my wedding last week. I had the Eros tea
and enjoyed it so much I wanted to buy some. I didn't really look hard
at the Grand Floridian but didn't see anything that really caught my
eye. I went to the Twinings store at the UK Pavilion at Epcot and asked
the cast member if they sold the Eros tea that's served in the Grand
Floridian. I assumed the tea was all Twinings, but I guess not since
he wasn't sure what I was talking about. Where can I buy some of the
Eros tea? Thanks!
Hi Valene!
The teas
currently used at the Garden View Lounge
are from a Canadian company called "T." I found Eros tea under
"Black Tea" on their website. The URL is www.tealeaves.com.
The phone number is 604-878-3000. It's a blend of orange, vanilla and
Ceylon tea, and it sounds yummy! I'll have to try it next time I have
tea there. One of my favorite restaurants, Artist
Point at the Wilderness Lodge, also serves "T" brand
tea.
Happy brewing,
and congratulations on your recent wedding!
