This is so cool. This is a great chance for those who don't live in So Cal to talk to Dave Smith.

Re: Talk to Disney Legend Dave Smith Live!

So i copy and pasted the transcripts from the chat. Do you think I'd run into issues with D23 if I shared that to the public?

I was thinking of doing the same thing, but then started wondering if it was against the Terms of Use Agreement I clicked through.

I have a feeling it might be against the agreement.

What kinds of questions did people ask? Mr. Smith has always been very helpful when I have emailed him with questions about a particular Disney nametag.

Didn't we do that when we joined D23? I know I at least signed my paycheck away.

well, i asked this and he answered back:
Ryan-Philipp:

You started the Archives for the company, so I am very sure you're a big Disney fan yourself. With that said, I am curious, do you have your own personal collection of Disney "artifacts." If so, what's your most cherished possession?

Dave Smith:

Actually, I have always thought it would be a conflict of interest if I collected Disneyana myself. At home, I do have copies of many of the Disney books, which the authors have personalized to me, and, of course, my Disney service awards.
