Well, I'm home safe and sound from my weekend trip. I had a great time despite the blistering heat and humidity, and the unbearable crowds (60 minute wait for the Rock N' Roller Coaster during extra magic hours at midnight!).

Anyways, I had an "It's a small world" experience at Ohana last night. I was seated at a great table by the window, and was waiting for my food to be served. A woman and her daughter walk over to me, and the woman says, "Excuse me. Are you Karen?" It was Mackie'sMommy! She recognized me from my old signature picture of me, Scotty, and Ray. So we chatted for a few minutes. They went back to their table, which was two over from mine.

A large family was seated at the table between Mackey'sMommy and me. While I was eating, the mom in the family turned to me and said, "Do you take solo trips here often?" I thought it odd that she phrased the question that way rather than saying, "Do you come here alone often?" and I wondered to myself if she could be a DISer, but I didn't say anything. We chatted for a few minutes, and then continued to enjoy our meals.

The woman's son and husband were wearing the same shirt. The little boy had fallen asleep on his father's shoulder. I couldn't help but notice how adorable they looked, so I got up and told the mom that she had to get a picture of them.

When I walked over, she noticed my DIS shirt, and asked me if I was a DISer! She told me that she was Scanne! I pointed out Mackie'sMommy to her. I was just floored by the fact that out of the entire restaurant, the three DISers wound up in three consecutive tables! We wound up taking a picture together since it was such a strange occurance! I'll try to post the picture up later in the week!

That's neat! I've had several DIS people approach me. It always happens when I'm delivering a gift basket to a resort. LOL!
 
Cool!

(And if any of you happen to see me sometime during Sept. 14-19 at WDW, feel free to say hi! ^_^)

How fantastic is that! What a great thing to happen.

It's a small world...

for sure!
(btw, I do like that song, brings back more than fond memories)
 
This is exactly why I think its important to wear your lime green - you meet the coolest people that way. I have run into some in Epcot too. Its really neat, scares the beejesus out of my husband and friends, and makes me feel pretty cool.

Cool, Karen - sounds like you had a blast - well, it sounded miserable to me, but I am sure you had fun. I HATE the heat and Humidity and crowds - give me winter months for sure!
 
How neat that you got to run into so many DISers! I was at WDW last week and didn't see anyone. I'll get another chance in September though...... :goodvibes

It truly is a small world! :sunny:

I'll be happy to find you on your next trip!

BTW, I recognized Jill as a patron of the store I worked at up in Virginia from that siggy pic. Her girls are even more adorable in person!

Hi Suzanne! :wave2:

Every time I go into the Disney Store up here I think of you from when you pm'd me! :teeth: I love that store! :sunny:
 
That is so neat! I'm sure my family would be a little freaked out if I ran into my "Disney internet friends" in the parks. :)
