Seinfeld/Disney World connection

Anyone else a fairly big Seinfeld fan? So, I'm watching an episode of Seinfeld with Patrick Warburton (aka David Puddy) and it got me thinking of how he is the "flight attendant" for Soarin'. Then it got me further thinking how many other actors that appeared in an episode of Seinfeld are in intros or in attractions at WDW. I could come with up with two more. Illena Douglas appears in the intro to Rockin Roller Coaster. She was also the overly tan woman that George tried to have an affair with so that he could end his relationship with Maura. "TURN YOUR KEY MAURA!!! TURN YOU KEY!!!" And the other is John Michael Higgins who hosts Test Track. He played one of Elaine's boyfriends. He was the swimmer who shaved his head only to start growing his hair back and realize he was going bald. He turns to George for help. He actually gets arrested at the end of the episode because the cops mistake him for George.

I know, half of you probably think I'm nuts....... but can anyone think of any others?

Wow...I knew about Warburton but not the other two. I am a HUGE Seinfield fan and remembered those characters as well as the ones they played at WDW once you said it. Now you've got me trying to figure out if there are any others!
