Imagine... meeting a friend at a Disney Park.

Has this ever happened to you?

It did to me, about 7 years ago when i was in like 1st grade. I was in Epcot and we were walking around and BAM! we found my friend's family which i had known since i was an infant. My parents didnt look so surprised, but I sure was! We ended up going to dinner together at the Coral Reef Restaurant.

Nope never happen to me in disney, it happen to me in an airport in Greece.
We saw my sisters friend.

lol. This is basically about seeing people in places that you don't expect.

It wasn't at a Disney Park, but another park. It was funny thought, because the park wasn't close to where I lived. My friend was with her aunts, and I rode a few rides with her. It was when I was like 7.

lol my band always goes to Dorney Park (Pennsylvania) in June. I just get a kick out of riding roller coasters with my band buddies.

Oh. Yeah. My grandpap meets his workers at Disney all the time. He was a president of a small company, and worked at many places around the US, so he meets a lot of people

 

[llama62]

oooo very cool.

Yes, it's happened to me a few times actually! Pretty freaky to run into someone you know from home at a Disney park of all places - it's almost like you're in disbelief at first, LOL! So many coincidences... first you have to be traveling to WDW at the same time, then you have to be at the same park during that time, then you have to be at the right place in the park at the right time.... Pretty amazing when you think about it!

 

[Kasiks]

Not at WDW or DLR but at DLRP yes and more than once

i just get a kick out of seeing friends at theme parks knowing that theyve gone on all the rides that i have.

I did and I didn't, so let me explain. The person I met was not someone I knew yet. But in talking with them while we were in the line for Space Mountain, we found out that we went to the same school, had the same orthodontist and had some of the same friends in school. Somehow, we just had never met in school yet. Gave a whole new meaning to "It's a small world" and makes you wonder how many people you do know or would connect to with as little as one or two degrees of seperation.

 

[llama62]

lol that's cool.

Never had it happen, but that would be pretty sweet!

Although sometimes you dont want too see anyone you know.

 

[Lovela]

I always see my cousin around if I'm in America...

 

[llama62]

i wouldnt want to see someone who i don't like. But if they are my friend it's cool.

 

[Pirate Me]

Not at Disney but I saw my friend at a store yesterday if that counts. xD

 

[whs_singingrose]

I had one person that I went to school with stay at the Polynesian when I did, she saw me and I didn't see her! and we never made that connection until the summer at church camp!

 

[llama62]

oh. idk where my friend stayed but we stayed at the wilderness lodge.

 

[llama62]
