Squirrel Halts Train at DisneyWorld

Too funny

Only at Disney.  Two thumbs up for that Monorail pilot.

Hey Rocky, watch me pull a monorail out of my hat!

It reminds me of the story with Chip N' Dale with Donald Duck's Railroad.  

One of Ward Kimball and crew's best -- "Out of Scale." It was a tongue-in-cheek poke at Walt Disney who had a 1 1/2" scale railroad in his back yard.

Awwwwww. That has quite made my day.  I wonder if the squirrel had a ticket?

Very cute!  A nice, lighthearted video to view first thing in the morning.

Or last thing at night.

That squirrel will have nightmares for months. Kudos to the monorail driver. 

I can appreciate the 'driver' not running over the little rodent. But - if he is any kin to the pack of squirrels that snagged every single peach off my trees.....well, he is bound to encounter a driver - sooner or later - with a little less heart!

Yes.  He probably thought that he was being chased by the Blue Comet when the horn sounded. (Joking.)

Last Summer I started feeding a couple of young squirrels unsalted peanuts in the shell.

Now I have 7 or 8 that show up daily to be fed. 4 of them will eat out of my hand.

2 of them will follow me around the yard like a dog. I have to be careful not to step on them. When they see me, they will run up to me as fast as they can.

Right now there are 4 of them in the back yard waiting on me to come and feed them.

Finally a story with a happy ending that involved something on the track!!!

Wonderful video. Also thanks to the smart monrail driver for not running it over. The negative press Disney would have received would not be worth the convenience to the train.

Back in the late 1970's my father started throwing assorted nuts (not me) in the back yard for the birds.  Sure enough a squirrel discovered the nuts as well, and became a regular.  After a while he became tame enough and trusting enough to eat from our hands.  He also would bang on the back door if there weren't any nuts outside.  One day my parents were in the backyard sitting on chaises.  The sqirrel came out of the bushes and laid down under one of the chaises.  I guess he felt safe with them (they wouldn't let any cats bother him).

Reminds me of "Out Of Scale"

That's one very lucky squirrel. I ain't wreckin my truck over some stupid GEICO squirrel. Besides, Buzzards need to eat too. We'll  just leave it at that....
