Question 10) best fangirling moment

I have many fangirling moments, but one of my best ones was going to Tokyo Disney while my husband and I went to Japan back in 2008. While we were there, I was able to have my picture taken with a certain pirate near the Japanese version of Pirates of The Caribbean ride!

And just so you know this Jack Sparrow did speak English and not Japanese!
