[font=Comic Sans MS]I know Elena will probably be posting this too..Elena's posted her version of the events on "We got quite a surprise today", so y'all get a chance to see what it's like to see our separate takes on the events of the day!
While wandering around DL today (7/30) & chatting with one of our favorite CMs, another couple came up to her & started a conversation. It wasn't long before we'd all joined in...They were very nice people & also APs. They'd asked us if we'd ever taken a tour of DL; more specifically the "Walk in Walt's Footsteps" tour. We explained that we didn't have that kind of $$$, but had always wanted to take a tour. We said our good-byes & went off to our locker to "reload" our bubble bag. Once in the locker room, we turned around & there was the gentleman who had been in on the conversation & had asked us about the tour. (Turns out he & his wife had followed us to the lockers) He then asked us how we'd like to take the tour...Needless to say, Elena & I were taken quite aback. I wound up sitting on the locker room floor, while Elena leaned against a bank of lockers to support herself! Both of us felt ourselves go pale...we couldn't believe what we were hearing & what was being offered to us! I think "stunned" would be close...This wonderful couple, whose names are Mikey & Mindy, walked us over to the tour window, only to find that we'd missed the last tour of the day. However, Mikey paid for us to go in August. Even after we had our tickets in hand, we couldn't believe it...WE WERE STOKED!!! We thanked them profusely, kissed them :lovers: , hugged them :hug: , gave them bubbles (which we intended to do anyway; that's why the trip to the locker) & thanked them again. Walking away, Elena asked me, "Did I say 'Thank-you?'" I assured her she did, as I had done. I asked her to pinch me to make sure I was not dreaming...I'll tell y'all, it was a THRILLING moment...stuff like this just does not happen to us!
Now, I have to wait till daylight before I can tell my hubby the happy news!
By the way...
Hi Mainstreeter...It was wonderful to see you again after all this time!
You look terrific & not nearly as lonely as you did in the Christmas Shop in Fantasyland... :D: [/font]
