It's a Small World after all: Walt Disney World vacation photo captures familiar face
In their very own Lost flashback moment, a Florida couple has discovered that they crossed paths much earlier in their lives -- on childhood vacations at Walt Disney World.Days before their wedding, Donna Voutsinas was showing her then-fiance Alex old family photos, when she came upon one of her and her siblings posing with the pirate Smee at Walt Disney World.
But, as the couple told WESH TV, Alex was more interested in the man pushing a stroller in the background. Turns out, it was Alex's father pushing the stroller that Alex was riding in.
At the time, Donna's family lived in Florida, and Alex was visiting the Sunshine State from Montreal.
The Voutsinases met decades later at work, not at Walt Disney World. Today, they live in Boynton Beach, Florida.
"Just to be in the same picture with my wife when we were basically toddlers, it's unbelievable," Alex Voutsinas said.

Disney should take advantage of this PR opportunity and give them a life time pass to Disney World.

There's a lot of good stories here about future couples meeting. I think what's amazing about this particular photo is not so much that they crossed paths while they were younger, but the fact that their few-second encounter was photographed. That photo is only a split-second in time, and it just so happened to be taken while the couple was within a few feet of eachother. That, to me, is what's amazing about this.

Alex and Donna: In the 90s I worked with you, Goran, Donna and Vick (the Chilean guy from the night shift) as a desk clerk, remember? I saw the beginning of your beautiful relationship. I`m glad to know that you two got married. Boy, what a story!!! I hope you are all fine. Andre Couceiro
