Before yesterday, I’d never been on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Since I heard it’s going to be closing soon for refurbishment, I decided to trek out to Magic Kingdom in the morning and take it for a spin. After all, this weekend is going to be busy due to the marathon. In fact, it had a healthy crowd yesterday.
I arrived there about 11:00 am and the line wait said it was 30 minutes (actual time longer). I got in line and started going through the maze. After about 20 minutes of winding around, something strange happened. I’m facing forward with my hands resting in my pockets and then I suddenly feel a woman’s hands reach inside my arms and wrap around my body. Then she slowly started rubbing, massaging, whatever you want to call it.
Honestly, I didn’t turn around to see who it was right away. I figured there must be someone I knew who found me and was trying to surprise me, so I was content to let it continue for a while. Then I looked down and saw she had some tiny hands. Too tiny.
I finally turn around and it’s some six or seven year old girl who mistook me for her Dad or something. She was shocked. I was shocked….then I just started laughing. Poor girl jumped back a few paces and apologized, but I told her not to worry about it. That definitely wasn’t something I expected today. I guess we both learned it’s better to look first.
