Hope I don't spoil this for anyone, but, there was a person that was just a little ways away with a remote button. He randomly would chose a kid, who knows what criteria he/she used, but, when the mood struck they would push the button and the sword would release and allow them to pull it upward. I don't think it ever came completely out, but, after watching kid after kid tugging on the thing it because quite the thing to actually have it move.

Years back when my grandson was young we were approaching that spot and I saw the person that was controlling it so I took the opportunity to say to my grandson as we passed by him that he was a weakling and could never pull out the sword. I did that hoping that the person would say... oh, yea... watch this. Long story short my grandson got up there tugged a few times and up it came. I was forced to say, how sorry I was that I had thought he was weak because he was obviously almost as strong as me. My grandson then said to me... why don't you try it. (Wasn't expecting that) so I got up there and made like I was popping blood vessels, but, just couldn't budge it. As we left I looked over to the operator and winked in thanks then moved on. That kid talked about that experience for at least 3 years after that. I hope they haven't taken that out permanently, it meant a lot to a lot of kids.

Thinking back later I thought of how bad that could have backfired on me and I really regretted taking that chance. It worked out, but, could have been a disaster. Sometimes we just get lucky.

Thank you sir. You were an inspiration.
So, the universe works in random ways.
Today Donna is asking me if u know of anyone who is in Disney at the moment as she really wanted a Halloween resort mug.

I get a call from work. Someone had been in and dropped off some Disney bits for me.
So I went and got them. They were from a customer who I had chatted with and had just got back from a trip.
He had brought me back a few treats to say thanks for all the info I had given him.
There were a couple of packets of marshmallow treats and a resort Halloween mug ....
Cue one happy Donna.
