We ran into one of my girlfriend's co-workers in line for the Maelstrom last November. But we did know they'd be visiting.
But the craziest was on my last trip before that, 12 years earlier, when I was still a college student. My father and I were down there on business (it was summer), and we literally took the next place in line at Space Mountain behind the sweeper of my soccer team! We had no idea the either would be there.
What's really weird is that the following New Year's Eve, I ran into a different player from the team, and then later in the evening, I ran into the very same sweeper we had in Disney.
I must add, though, than nothing beats what happened to my girlfriend and I in Chatham, Mass. last month. We stopped to say hello to a dog, and his owner came out of a cafe and called my girlfriend "Piper." Piper is apparently her twin right here in Albany, who everyone seems to know, though we've never met her ourselves (and Albany is not exactly enormous).... apparently she had met this random dog owner during a previous trip to the Cape. I'm actually convinced that she exists in an alternate universe that overlaps ours from time to time.... that is, that Piper and my girlfriend are the same entity existing on separate planes.
If Mickey Mouse mistakes my girlfriend for Piper during our next trip, my head is going to explode.
So yes, it's a small world. And perhaps a small inter-dimensional time-space continuum?

That was so weird! We were in line and I said to DD17, isn't that so and so, and the kid and I kept looking at each other, then his Mom came along and we just laughed at the surprise of seeing each other there. There were some others I knew would be there we didn't see, but really did expect to as we seen people a number of times. Anyway, we know it really is a small world.
My DD ran into tons of kids from her Pre-K class, I ran into a former co-worker from when we lived in Alabama and DH ran into a class mate from high school in the lobby of the Pop. It is a really small world.
We had a lot of fun touring the parks together for a few days. I've also ran into friends in remote parts around the world, and THAT, my friends, is a mind-blower!!
) on the Great Movie Ride in DHS. Then the time before that I ran into a boy I knew in middle school (I was in middle school about 10 years ago). We just returned from a trip this week and DF ran into one of his football teammates from high school.
