What Gives?

We were at the World two weeks ago and exiting the resort Monorail at the Magic Kingdom when we ran into someone hawking fesh fruit and bottled water at the bottom on the ramp! The person wasn't wearing a Disney costume and seemed to be a guest. Is this a common experience? Has anyone else ran into this type of thing before?
By the way, my sons and I experienced the behind the scenes train tour.....a great experience and one I would recommend to anyone with any interest in trains or Walt!

I've never heard of that and if the person wasn't wearing a costume and name tag then he wasn't a CM. I doubt Disney would allow anyone to do that so hopefully he got kicked off property by security.

Actually, they do have many healthy options at the parks. They sell small bowls of mixed melon, packs of grapes, etc. and such at several of the kiosks - and nearly every drink cart has bottled water ....

Ah, there is a ODV in Tomorrowland that serves fresh fruit at DL. We love it, although if you looked at me you'd think I was on first name basis with the Churro CM's...

They serve fresh fruit at some of the drink stands in the parks. The one in Town Square right outside Exposition Hall does.
