You expected it because people here talk about it. I have NEVER seen it at a Disney run. I created it at this one, purposely chatting to people even at the 10K when I was alone, because I was lonely and wanted to make it happen. But I really saw no groups talking to other groups. I don't know where the idea comes from that people will be chatty etc unless people here are making it happen.
Exactly. It happened to me because I made it happen. If I am standing around and I feel like chatting, I'll just say something about whatever is going on (the weather, the line we're in, etc.) or ask someone about their experience (whether it's their first race, if they're doing the GSC, etc.). Some people are chatty and take the bait. Some people don't. It's really only as good as the people you are near. The funny thing is, I am only that person at Disney. You are very unlikely to catch me talking to strangers anywhere else.
