This past week while we were in Disney World, we had a few people sightings that just made us say, "It's a small world ". First, on our day at The Magic Kingdom, we decided to go on the Dumbo ride and somehow, Ellie and Bethany ,Felicia and Poppy got in line and my om and I lagged behind, so we ended up several spaces behind the others in line. A nice woman saw that we were talking with our family members across the rope and she offered to let us catch up to them, going in front of her. We were grateful and started talking with her only to find that she was the daughter of a couple that my parents knew who lived right down the street from them !!!! That was neat, but then only a little while later, we were in line at Goofy's Barnstormer ride (the kiddie roller coaster). When we came off the ride and were moving down the exit ramp, Steve said "I think I just saw The Cake Boss!" If you ever watch TLC, there is a show called Cake Boss and this man and his family own a bakery in NJ or NY. Since Steve had been pointing out different people since we'd arrived that "looked like celebrities", I didn't pay much attention, so I proceeded to take Ellie over to see Mickey and Minnie who were signing autographs.
Steve and the older kids said they were going to stay and wait until the guy came off the ride to see if it was him. Sure enough, Felicia races up to us in line about 5 minutes later yelling "I got his autograph!" It WAS the Cake Boss and his family and a personal escort getting them to the front of all the ride lines. That was pretty neat because the kids watch that show sometimes so they knew who he was.
Our last interesting encounter happened in Animal Kingdom. While walking through the park, I overheard a woman talking to her child and I turned around recognizing the voice. It was a family we've know for about the last 10 years that live here in Richmond about 10 minutes from us ! That was fun to see someone we knew while we were down in Florida!
So, it really is a small world after all!

We love the barnstormer too...how funny you saw all those people! It was fun looking at your pictures with the music playing in the background. You're getting good at this blogging stuff.
