LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) -- A hacker broke into a computer system at Walt Disney World last week where hundreds of guests' names, addresses and mug shots are available, a company spokesman said Monday.

The hacker broke into a computer system used by the Leave a Legacy exhibit at Epcot. At the exhibit, guests pay up to $38 each to have images of themselves placed on a granite monument to commemorate the theme park resort's millennium celebration.

A letter explaining the computer break-in was sent out to the 1,200 guests whose information may have been accessed, said Disney spokesman Bill Warren. No other personal information, such as social security numbers or credit card information was reached, Warren said.

''What the person was able to get access to was relatively small data,'' Warren said.

The FBI was investigating.
