Very first meal at the magic kingdom of Disneyland. Redd Rockett's Pizza Port. Love this place because I can get a real salad- not one of those iceberg lettuce things.
Large seating area, and we find our way towards the back. We sit and begin to enjoy our $400 theme park lunch, and begin to notice that it is emptying out around us.
Then we notice caution tape roping off a fairly large seating area. A seating area we are actually sitting in.
Now at first I was confused. Disney is great at theming. Cast members are always in the appropriate dress in the appropriate land. Seldom do you see a mismatched cast member anywhere in the park, and if you do, they are sure to be fired soon.
I should have realized that when I saw people dressed up like Dick Tracy's friends, they were security. I'm sure just Tomorrowland security. I'm sure the other areas have their own protocol.
Then my daughter says, "Oh- a dog!" All the pieces start making sense now. Cleared out area. Caution tape roping the area off. Dick Tracy like security. A dog wearing a security vest. A lone backpack by itself. The dog sniffing the backpack.
I honestly do appreciate the length Disney takes to ensure a safe environment for my family. For all the families. Apparently a left bag triggers a response team. The bomb sniffing dog, followed by a hand inspection, ensured that the backpack was, in fact, just a forgotten article.
The part of the story that makes it weird is this: It was an odd sight to see. We know that fire trucks, medical care, and security are in the park, we just don't usually see it.
The part that makes it a Persinger legend:
Um. If they were so concerned about everyone in the restaurant blowing up that they cleared the area... why didn't they move my family out??
