I am not sure if this will be considered a SGT or a SCMT. I'd say, SGT, because a CM friend of mine is off duty and just gotten off a Grad Nite Shift the night before.

O k, my story, we were hanging around the Rivers Of America on the opening night of the Return Of Fantasmic! one morning, just to scout out our areas for the show (Yes, the show started in 12 hours and we were preparing to wait). I meet my CM friend by ROA to just hang around to decide when to start setting up. A couple of hours later, another friend of mine shows up, not a CM. We decide on what to do and since neither of any of us have eaten yet, we decided to grab a bite to eat. The next couple of moments, I wasn't sure what happened to get to this point, but my CM friend went to get something out of his poclet and the next thing you see: HIS ATM CARD IS FLYING IN THE AIR AND LANDS IN THE WATERS OF THE ROA!!! So, the next thing you know, it disappears into the abyss of the mystic waters. we pause is shock in what happened, then busted out laughing on the whole situation.

So, what do we learn kids: When you want to retrieve something from your pockets next to the Rivers Of America, YOU MUST STEP AWAY, then you reach into your pockets to avoid losing in to the dark abyss of the Riivers Of America.

I can vouch for this one (I think): my hubby does not carry a wallet; therefore, his driver's license, debit/credit card, and insurance card are always loose in his pocket. Good thing he doesn't ride roller coasters. :p:

I carry a money clip that holds my credit/debit cards, hotel key, and drivers license when I go on vacation. Otherwise I have my (damn near George Costanza size) wallet.

So yeah, I recommend this so you can replace it all at once.

The ATM card can always be retrieved in a few years when they drain the river again...

He said he used it earlier to purchase something and didn't put it back in his wallet.

Funny thing is, the Rivers was recently drained and he has to wait another 5 years to retrieve it! :D:

Exactly, that's what I meant; the whole situation is pretty funny since the river was recently drained. :cool:
