He has an annual pass and goes to Disney World every chance he gets. He rides only Expedition Everest, getting back in line all day and night, and has completed the 3-minute trip more than 475 times since January. His wife and kids usually leave him there and he meets them back at the hotel when the park closes. He wears a toboggan hat and furry Yeti Man hands. He has decorated his home to resemble the gift shop at Animal Kingdom, full of Disney African sculptures and masks and painted in "African" colors. Audio slideshow. (Times photo by Brian Cassella)
