One couple’s day at Walt Disney World quickly turned into a game of hide-and-seek.
Brittany Blake and boyfriend Regory Turco had visited the Florida theme park on Friday expecting to spend some time together exploring the massive tourist destination. However, Blake ended up spending most of the day searching for Turco.

“Weird post but lost my boyfriend in Epcot today and haven’t been able to find him for hours because his phone is dead. If anyone sees him can they tell him to meet us at the Mexican pavillion?”
The post gathered over 1,300 comments two hours after posting, FOX4 reported.

“Head to customer service/to the front of the park. I’m certain he’s there trying to find you as well LOL” Jennifer Cardona said, adding, “We have a home base we go to if we manage to get separated or phones are dead or other variables.”
