Saaaandy Mazolla

My father, Pete, used to work in customer services for Westinghouse. One of his clients was a woman named Sandy Mazolla. When he heard that she happened to be going to WDW on the same week as us (my family), he got very excited and began to tell her what a great place it was. The two of them mentioned meeting up, but never actually made concrete plans. This being years before cell phones became popular, once we boarded a plane for Orlando, there was really no way to contact this Sandy to meet up. Add to this the fact that my Dad had never actually met this Sandy face to face and you have an impossibility.

On day 1 of our trip while walking through the park, my Dad just randomly hollered "Saaaaaandy Mazolla", as if calling from atop a mountain. This got a rousing laugh from the rest of my family and became a running joke. At random points throughout the day, someone in our group would just call out this name of someone that we'd never met.

On day 3, we were coming down from Fantasyland into Liberty Square, right by the Columbia Harbor house, and my Dad gave a "Sandy Mazolla". Naturally, everyone in our group laughed yet again as bystanders looked especially puzzled. However, this time was different. From off in the distance, I hear some woman say "Pete, is that you?". What are the chances of finding a single person in all of Walt Disney World without having made prior plans or connecting via cell phone? 1 in a thousand?
