One of our favorite rides is the train- it takes you all around the park. It's nice, especially when I had mono but didn't know I had mono and would be totally exhausted for no reason- sitting down for 20 minutes made me feel a whole lot better. One of the last times we rode the train, we sat behind two ladies who hadn't been to Disneyland in over 20 years and were having dinner at Club 33 (and clearly had NO IDEA what a big deal that was... Brent and I made sure they knew that that was a big deal).
They were discussing where to go until dinner time and what to do afterwards and didn't know where anything was, so I offered them my map and we got to talking about how different Disneyland is now and out of nowhere comes Edward. Edward was working on the train that day and within 30 seconds not only did he manage to totally interject himself into our conversation by telling the ladies what they should and shouldn't do, but he also managed to shatter my dreams of watching my children in the Jedi Training Academy... he heard that it was going away in the next 3 years (I bet he made that number up)... anyways- he talked our ears off for the rest of our train ride.
When we got off the train I remember saying to Brent "Was that guy for real??"
Yes. He was.
We saw him again a few weeks later, and I talked Brent into taking a picture of me with him in the background so that I could blog about it, and again, he couldn't help but interject himself into our business.
This picture so perfectly captures his personality.
Here's Edward elfed.
He's a sweet guy, and he gave me a great picture-story to tell.

Where's the Santa picture from Pirates a couple of weeks back?
good story. you made me laugh. is edward single?
The best part: I was trying to get Amber's picture with Michael in the background without him knowing. I took three or four pictures, but none of them came out. Finally, without even saying anything, he walked right up behind Amber and did that. It was the perfect picture for what we were trying to depict.
Michael is great. I like him. Annoying maybe, but still a classic.
