...Backstage Studio Tour tram passes one movie set, a propman waves jerkily, keying the tour's theme: high tech meets low comedy. A guide points to a sound stage where new Mouseketeers are taping a show: "They do their own stunts, and they do them without Annette." On monitors, TV's Huxtable clan explains how a sitcom is shot, while patriarch Cosby dresses up in various sports uniforms and shouts, "I'm goin' to Disney World!" Beatty explains set design, Lucas and two mechanical friends discuss post-production, Gibson and Herman demonstrate sound editing, Midler stars in a short comedy...
...colorful concoctions before they reach the check-in desk of the half-indoor, half-outdoor lobby. (What would you do with those lovely rugs after a driving rain? Replace them, replies the managing director, smug as a puffin.) To reach their rooms, guests can board a bullet-nosed monorail tram or take a boat along the canal that runs the mile-long stretch of the resort.

"The tram wasn't stopping at the sound stages," Steven says. "So during a bathroom break I snuck away and wandered over there, just watching. I met a man who asked what I was doing, and I told him my story. Instead of calling the guards to throw me off the lot, he talked with me for about an hour. His name...
...track. His joy, publicly expressed, will be privately savored. Says he: "There is a feeling that one who performs in public becomes a public property. I do not believe that." Daley is adored from afar, the distance he likes best. He plans to rest now for a year, then tram for a try at a third gold in 1988. The world record, he said at his celebratory press conference, "would have been nice. But all I wanted to do was win." While the gold was enough, it turns out he will have the record too.
