Pizza Sally

Quoting from an ABC "Eyewitness News" report:
Pizza Sally

Many Floridians say they see something on a pizza pan that's nothing short of magical. And now, hundreds of Disney fans are flocking to an east Orlando house to get a peek.

Apparently, they're serving something special at the cafeteria of Pu Elementary. On Ash Wednesday, a school employee was washing and scrubbing a sheet pan when she noticed something.

"On the third rinse I started watching it, trying to discover what it was," she recalled.

So moved by the discovery, she took the pan to her manager, who said, "I know it's something good for this community, and especially for this school."

What the women saw was an image that is unmistakable to them. It drew so much attention the pan was moved to a nearby home, where it has become the center of what almost amounts to a shrine.

"It's Sally from Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas," said one visiting Disney fan. "At first I thought it was Snow White, but the long neck, the full hair -- it has to be Sally."

Another of the Disney faithful said, "I think it's incredible. It's real Disney magic. I'm no lawyer, but I think it's probably a copyright violation, too. I don't know what they're going to do about that."

More than 200 came to see "Sally" on Thursday, and dozens more arrived on Friday. A meeting with Disney lawyers was planned for Friday evening.
