Thats right folks. Thats 2 and a LOT of zeros after it. From The Orange County Register: May 2, 2006
ANAHEIM — Emmalee Mason, 12, of Colorado Springs, Colo., wasn’t just any tourist to Disneyland today; she was the 2 billionth.
At 9:02 a.m., Mason was named the honorary 2 billionth visitor of all Disney parks worldwide. All 10 family members – Emmalee, her parents, five sisters, one brother and a baby on the way – received lifetime passes to all 11 parks.
“Wow! I’m in shock,” she said, according to Disney officials.
Emmalee rode the Matterhorn with Mickey Mouse and served as the parade’s grand marshal
