The greatest thing happened: Dad and I were on my beloved, long-missed "Mr Toad's Wild Ride" - that wonderful, old darkhouse-style Fantasyland ride that was displaced in "my" Magic Kingdom by the Winnie the Pooh ride-- Dad and I were riding through, and the cars stopped. This is not unusual; usually it means someone in a wheelchair is boarding. Not this time, though. This time, they immediately told us that a cast member would be helping us shortly. Soon a girl came through with a flashlight and unlocked us from our motorcars; a line of amused-looking people were trooping behind her.

Thus followed our Evacuation from Toad Hall! I got pictures. This is a Disney Geek's dream come true, to have to climb over buggies and squeeze past cut-outs in a well-lit darkhouse ride area; to step, squinting, into the daylight after experiencing a long-beloved ride in a way few guests get to. The whole experience lasted all of five minutes, but it was, by far, the biggest part of my day.

Awe-freaking-some.
