[Glasgow]

If it hasn't been mentioned already, I see that the squirrel story made it onto the MSN homepage .. haha

Poor thing, Wonder how parents explained that to their kids.
Thanks for the link

"Its called survival of the fittest. That bird was stupid enough to hang out on a roller coaster track so now it is dead. Why are you crying even more now?"

Love this. I like how the bird gets in on the action for a bit.

Maybe they wouldn't have this problem if they let squirrels ON the monorail.....

I read some of the comments on a news site about the squirrel, and one of them said that Walt must be looking down and smiling at one of his cast members, the mono rail driver, and proudly saying that is one of mine.

+1, this is something I agree with!

A plague of rodent pests or not, for me this is +1 for WDW and +1 for the monorail driver! :sohappy:

I don't want them to run over a squirrel on my way to meet Chip 'n Dale.


...unless I'm stuck in a monorail for 45 minutes and I have to go to the bathroom...

Chip and Dale are not giant rats with bushy tails...they are chipmunks.

I love watchinf this video. Poor squirrel and people on the monorail. 45 min from the grand Floridian to magic kingdom lol. Squirrel looked so exhausted.

Roadkill and Railkill. No difference, both products of today with no significant impact on... anything. That being said, I will not swerve for anything smaller than a baby deer. Only then because it can result in vehicle damage.

Most interesting. Good for the monorail driver for not running it over.

Thats a CM that lives up to Walt Disney standards. I hope she didn't get in trouble for using that time to save the squirl, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Little factoid...Sherri Stoner, who was the voice of Slappy Squirrel was also the character model for Ariel and Belle.

I'm always amazed about the talents people have.
