Brett, Justin,Kevin Oakley Visit Disney World

Brett Oakley and his two sons Justin and Kevin came to town in January 2004 and we spent a day at Disney World's MGM studios on a Sunday afternoon. Brett brought along his girlfriend Gabby who was quite vague about her age, but we guessed around 20.

After a run of more than a decade, the last performance of the show -- unlike anything else at Disney World -- took place Saturday afternoon.
