\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Years ago, I recall a trip to Disney’s Epcot theme park and the one memory that stands out is walking through the park’s enormous and incredible aquarium. The visitors move through the center of the aquarium viewing the creatures through glass wall on their side and above. Fish of all sizes and varieties hovered in their silent world, eyes bulging.<\/p>\n

I remember a pair of enormous tiger sharks that cruised by near the glass and seemed to stare at us as if we were all potential meals. It was almost like being in the watery environment with them. Almost, but not really.<\/p>\n

Then I saw something that really caught my attention. A person in the tank! A scuba diver. He also swam over to the glass and waved at the visitors in the central tunnel. I wasn’t certain what he was doing in the tank. Maybe he was there to feed the fish or clean the tank. I marveled that while he was waving to children, he was unaware that one of the sharks was cruising by behind him. Maybe they were used to divers. Hopefully, they were well fed.<\/p>\n

Megan was with us. She was young. Maybe four or five, and she has no recollection of that trip, much less the aquarium. But she was one of the kids who stood at the glass and waved back at the diver.<\/p>\n

So it seems quite incredible now that Megan at 22 years old is working in\u00a0that same tank, one of Epcot’s scuba divers. Some of them feed the fish, others clean the tank, and yes, Megan says, they wave to the children the other side\u00a0\u00a0of the glass.<\/p>\n

Originally, she thought she would be working in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, but when she arrived to start her job she found out she was assigned to the Epcot aquarium, mainly working with the dolphins.<\/p>\n

Yesterday in the mail a brochure from Disney arrived, offering a 35% discount to Florida residents who buy a three-day package. It sounded like a good idea, a chance to see Megan at work. A nice little synchro it seemed. Then it enlarged. Megan called a short time later, and during the conversation mentioned that not only does she have free passes for all four of Disney’s parks…but so do we as \u00a0family members! We also get a speed pass, allowing us to skirt the long lines and get into the rides quickly. Wow!<\/p>\n

Trish could hardly believe it when I told her. We’re going. We’ll be there. Definitely. Can’t wait.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
