I belong to a group called All Ears that is through Yahoo! Groups where I get all of the information on Walt Disney World and Disneyland through moderators and participants. They have a website too that is chock full of Disney information (www.allearsnet.com) and it is one of my favorite sites to visit whether I am going to Disney or not. I am obsessed.
Well, recently, there have been a lot of posts relating to Disney cast members going above and beyond for guests. I found myself getting a little misty reading some of the stories. It just shows that despite all of the incidents and accidents in the news lately, Disney is keeping its magic alive.
For instance, there was a post about a man whose child slipped and fell on the way to the restroom at the Rainforest Cafe. He said she was screaming her head off and some cast members came to her rescue and called an ambulance. The paramedics determined that the little girl just had a bruise on her forehead so, the manager of the restaurant asked the little girl if she wanted to go to the doctor or eat some food. She chose food and he gave her a tiara and a wand because he overheard the family discussing the little girl's birthday meal she would be having at Cinderella Castle the following day. Then the manager sat them without a wait next to the animatronic gorillas so that the little girl could see them move every time it "rained. He also checked on them repeatedly during their meal. The manager even told her that Cinderella was anxiously awaiting her visit! With that news, the little girl forgot all about her little accident and just imagined the princess waiting in the castle for her to show up.
It is stuff like this that keeps me going back to Disney every chance I get. Not only do you get to be the child you keep inside, but you get to feel the excitement and the magic that Disney is famous for. It warms the hearts of many. Even my dad, who shares my love for Disney and is pictured above with the castle at Magic Kingdom.
18 days until I am there again. It will be my 13th time.
