Originally Posted By crazycroc In our case, my fat rear, in particular, the sheer weight in my left cheek, created a crack in the fiberglass, causing us to start to take on water. Pandemonium and hysteria set in. It was every man for himself, until Laura, our patient and guiding CM took quick and decisive action. Little do people know that inside the compartment that the CM sits on is an emergency preparedness kit. Our CM gave each of us a circular floatation device, and a package of MRE's. Women and children were starting to go under, until she stepped in. WE could have lost a few passengers. The frustrating part was that we capsized close to Monstro's mouth, but they made float around the attraction, clinging to the edges only, but we were not allowed to leave. They didn't want us to ruin the scenery. Afterwards, to make it up to us, we were each given either pirate or princess makeovers, and some guy apologized and gave us disney dollars. I would say the water was about 4 and 1/2 feet deep, my friend Fredrick who is a dwarf, couldn't walk on the bottom and keep his head above water. I can tell you that I wrote one incensed letter to Disneyland that day...

Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan When you think of Laura, laugh, don't cry. I know she'd want it that way.
Originally Posted By crazycroc You people act like I chose the name! Her name was Laura. It could have been Jaweena, Mercedes, Balthazar, Randolfo, or Mary. But, alas, 'twas Laura who selflessly gave us MRE's and barked orders while the waves crashed mercilessly around us. Thank heavens for her unsinkable soul and indomitable spirit, I'd hate to think of what fate would poor Fredrick have met. Laura=Love

We ALL love watching you welcoming the new little fishes in....xoxo)
