We ran into one of my girlfriend's co-workers in line for the Maelstrom last November. But we did know they'd be visiting.
But the craziest was on my last trip before that, 12 years earlier, when I was still a college student. My father and I were down there on business (it was summer), and we literally took the next place in line at Space Mountain behind the sweeper of my soccer team! We had no idea the either would be there.
What's really weird is that the following New Year's Eve, I ran into a different player from the team, and then later in the evening, I ran into the very same sweeper we had in Disney.
I must add, though, than nothing beats what happened to my girlfriend and I in Chatham, Mass. last month. We stopped to say hello to a dog, and his owner came out of a cafe and called my girlfriend "Piper." Piper is apparently her twin right here in Albany, who everyone seems to know, though we've never met her ourselves (and Albany is not exactly enormous).... apparently she had met this random dog owner during a previous trip to the Cape. I'm actually convinced that she exists in an alternate universe that overlaps ours from time to time.... that is, that Piper and my girlfriend are the same entity existing on separate planes.
If Mickey Mouse mistakes my girlfriend for Piper during our next trip, my head is going to explode.
So yes, it's a small world. And perhaps a small inter-dimensional time-space continuum?
