When I was waiting for the Pixar Play Parade on my birthday a woman saw my birthday button, wished me a "Happy Birthday" and gave me one of those pretty display envelopes with a Disney Dollar. I was really very touched.
Two days before I was waiting in line at Pixie Hollow with my friends. In front of us was a family with a maybe 3 or 4 year old girl. Her father was carrying her and she was looking over his shoulder. I could see she was eyeing a really big gold coin style Tink pin on my lanyard. She was really adorable, and as quiet as a mouse the whole time we waited.
When we saw them in the shop area after we met Tink I asked the mother if it was okay to give her daughter something. She told me to go ahead, so I gave the daughter the pin. The daughter was in total disbelief, but a smile says more than 1000 words.
My friends tried to pull my leg: "Aren't you supposed to trade those?" because they knew it was a rather low edition pin.
I told them: "If you want, call it a sacrifice to the pin gods. Maybe we'll find those chipmunks now." Chip and Dale had been evading us the whole time we had been there until that point, and my room mate is a huge fan of them.
About ten minutes later we walked down Main Street then to get to DCA. When we were turning to the tunnel on the right I noticed a spot of brown fur at the left side near the Mad Hatter. I stopped dead in my tracks and said in German: "the chipmunks." (When I am excited sometimes I forget where I am and fall back in my native language.
)
This is one of the few German words my room mate understands, so I got her attention immediately. She went: "Where?!?!" I pointed, and it really were Chip and Dale. As a cherry on top, they were wearing their Halloween costumes.
I swear I never saw my room mate running off so fast.
And after that we saw Chip & Dale at least once per day.
