I can top Zazu's story. I read once about this family on an out-of-town holiday, who left for home and traveled a whole day without noticing that their 12-year-old son wasn't with them!

They had to go all the way back to Jerusalem, on foot, and found him three days later teaching in the temple. Some parents, huh? :rolleyes: :D:

If this happened at Disney World, we might call this a SRFT (Stupid Religious Figure Trick) :D:

Like February said, our kid can't get more than three feet away from me without me noticing. It is pretty scary just how fast the darker elements of society can operate. Think of how fast you could scoop a child up, be out the door of a grocery store, and into the car you left running at the curb. We're talking maybe 10 seconds? The criminals have thought of that too....

I would like to think even the most clueless parent wouldn't go from the MK all the way out the park, up the ramp, onto the monorail, and off at the TTC before they would realize their own kid wasn't with them. Sort of reminds you of the movie "Home Alone".

Welcome to SGT, Macca1111! I'm sure the proper *giggle* welcoming committee will be along shortly with their Tigger-esque marsupial bouncing greeting.

And Wombat, at least in that kid/parent scenario, the boy involved was 12...

my kid could easily get all the way from here to Orlando by herself if she just had the credit card to pay her way. I have no doubt she could book her tickets, she'd have a towncar waiting at MCO and then there is nowhere on Property she couldn't find without assistance.

When she was six she could give people directions to Narcoossees from the GF monorail station without batting an eye. She even used the open-handed "disney point" to do it. It was adorable. I could picture her in a miniature concierge uniform LOL

Darph, tell mom they actually pulled the old Boblo boat out of storage and are doing DINNER CRUISES with it on the river. I think I'd sooner try to sail across to Canada in a bathtub than trust my life to that thing. It's scary.

Of course as dirty as the river is it should have solidified by now so you could walk to the island if the park was still there (it's long since closed). And you wouldn't even need to be of divine origin to do it, you could just march across the accumulated trash beneath the surface...
