I'm late to this TR as I usually sign in once or twice a year and catch up on updates (I want more TRs!!!), but your comment about Bandana Stitch made me want to reply.
Every trip to WDW we've had that person/family, etc. that we see over and over again around the parks. Sometimes it's been a minor celebrity; other times it's usually a kid who stands out for one reason or another. There was a little girl a few years back who wore a Jasmine costume all week. We had ADRs in three restaurants at the same time as her family, and she was really recognizable. We knew it was her and not just a girl the same age dressed the same way. We remembered her parents too. And once, when my daughter was little, the face character Jasmine recognized my daughter, and called her by name, in Akershus, on Thursday, and mentioned details about their first meeting. We had seen her in the MK the previous Monday. That absolutely melted my heart.
But this trip, we had a funny one. Monday morning my 16 YO daughter and I were in line at Dinosaur in AK and in front of us was a set of very handsome twins, young men about 21-23 years old. With them was an older rather disheveled-looking man. We figured he was a relative or friend; they weren't interacting with him like he was their father. They were very well groomed, but the older man had his t-shirt tucked into the waistband of his underwear, and his shorts had slid about three inches down so we had a good view of his undies and his questionable fashion choice. The guys kept turning and looking at my daughter, and I wanted to say something friendly to them. I figured by things they did and said that they were from around my hometown and were University of Maryland alumni, which is where I went to school. We went through the ride on different cars and went our separate ways.
The next morning we hoofed back to 7DMT at rope drop and tried to ride standby. Guess who was in line about ten people in front of us? "The Twins and Uncle Grandpa," as we had dubbed them. They caught sight of me and my daughter and did a double-take, and I saw them glancing over at us again through the queue. Again, they rode, we rode, and went our separate ways. (It's KILLING me that I didn't say anything to them. I cannot find them on social media---if I even had a first name, I bet I could figure it out!)
Fast-forward to Wednesday, which was an off day. We went to a spring training baseball game in Jupiter.
Thursday. Our family separates, hubby and son are off to LEGOLAND. I drop them off and find a place to hang out for the day. My daughter meets up with a dear friend from our church who is going to school near Orlando. They are off to Universal for the day.
At 10:00, I get a text from my daughter. "Guess who is in line right in front of us to get into Universal?" "Who?" "THE TWINS!"
I told her she had to introduce herself and her friend, who is a gorgeous, sweet young lady as well but she didn't. She chickened out.
So now, in my mind, those guys flip flop between "The Twins and Uncle Grandpa" and "Bandana Stitch!"
Thanks for the laughs. I loved your TR!
