Throwback Thursday #2

One day, while working in Baby Care at Animal kingdom I met a very, very sweet family with a baby boy and a young girl. The little girl really wanted to meet pocahantas and the parents didn't know where to find her. Actually, they didn't even know you could meet her at AK. So I told them when and where and they were ecstatic. The father stayed with the baby while the mom and little girl (whose name was Ava) went to see Pocahantas. 

When they returned, Ava was crying. She was sad that she had to leave pocahantas. The family was about to leave when I told them that they were welcome at baby care as long a they wanted, decided to stay. This time, Ava and her father went to see Pocahantas this time. And when they did, pocahantas noticed that they had returned and did a special meet with Ava after her set was over. 

On my way back to the store, the father found me and shook my hand. He said that without my help their day would have been crappy. 

Something so small can make such a big impact. That was the first time that a parent, or anyone had shaken my hand after I helped them. It made me feel so good, like I had truly helped them. 

Whenever you go to disney, think about the cast members that may just tell you where the bathroom is, a simple thank you goes a long way.
