First Magical Moment

Ahh! It happened, it really happened! I had my first magical moment a few nights ago. Kalie, Diane and I decided to go out to Magic Kingdom for a few hours after work. It started off fun enough but became amazing while we were in line for Dumbo. There was a little girl in front of us in line with a Happy Birthday Button so we decided to sing Happy Birthday to her. The whole line started to sing with and she thought it was the coolest thing ever. We were her heroes for the night and after Dumbo she was determined to spend the rest of the night with us. Thankfully her mom used to work here (at the Contemporary I might add) so she understood and let us ride some more rides with her daughter. We rode Snow White and the Tea Cups with her and also saw the fireworks with her. Finally her mom decided it was time for them to go so we said good-bye to Madeline and went on our way. We came across Splash Mountain with no line and got on. During the ride we heard a lot of laughing and noise behind us and looked back. One of the guys in the boat behind us had gotten out and was walking along the side while his friend filmed it. In our shock we remembered that during our safety classes they told us that they have ways of knowing if people get out of the ride and the ride will stop. When it didn't stop we got even more concerned and decided to say something when we got to the bottom. Well we did and because they did we got to ride again without getting out. At the bottom we decided not to go again but, two managers had shown up to ask us some questions about the guys that got out. We tried to explain it to them but they couldn't quite picture where it was so one of them (Kevin) got in the boat with us. While going up the hill Kevin began screaming to turn off the water cannons which has now become our inside joke. He also told us a couple of secrets about the ride which was...Awesome! Turns out the ride was not in fact working properly, Kevin was so appreciative of our help he gave us each two fastpasses for any ride at Magic Kingdom that don't even expire till tuesday!!! The best though was seeing the park after closing. It was so beautiful!!! I'm so glad that I got to experience that entire night. It was such a great night and has even given us the tradition of always closing out a night at MK with a couple of turns on Splash.
