Today I had the cutest little kid at Mr. Toad... His car pulled up and his eyes got wide! It was green and green is his favorite color. Well after he sat down he looked at me and stuck out his hand...( I couldn't see what he was trying to hand me) so I took what he was handing me and it was one of the jewels that they sell around the park(you know the ones that cost like 6 dollars for the itty bitty satchel). I said oh that's pretty but are you sure you don't want it. He simply replied with..." I'm paying everyone for rides even though I don't have to." The way he said it and the look on his face was priceless I just wanted to take him home with me!!

I had the same kid on Matterhorn! I was at A unload and he got out and thanked me and then dug in his pocket and gave me one of his jewels. I was so surprised I just took it (didn't think much about it) and said thank you. I now keep the jewel in my coat pocket to remind me there are some nice people that come to Disneyland. Its always the little kids that will make your day and the stupid adults that will ruin it.

Hehe the jewels still in my coat pocket too... I even took it out and thought of the kid after a stupid guest pissed me off.

I can't believe that I didn't think to post this one before.

I was in the park as a guest, not working, with my wife, daughter, and in-laws. We were in CC, in line for the baby (not quite two years old at the time) to meet Tigger, Eeyore, and Pooh. Well, Chrissa decided that she was going to be extra cute this time. First, when meeting Tigger, she decided to hop up to him. Then she gave Eeyore a big hug. Then, after her photo with Pooh, she went back to the 'honey pots' in the background, got a big scoop with her hand (with absolutely nothing on it at all, of course,) and proceeded to give the 'Honey' on her finger to Pooh...

Today I saw a family with a small infant that was wearing a disneyland retail bag (the yellow printed plastic ones) as a poncho! No 6 dollar poncho for her! It made me laugh really hard, and happy even know I was soaking wet.

Yesterday I was in R/Rs and this little girl held the door open as I was wiping off one of the toilets. She was so cute! Just before I could give her a sticker her mom rushed her out of there. Her mom was obviously annoyed by the fact that her daughter was touching a "dirty" door. But, the girl was just too cute! :D

I was in RR's and this woman was lifter her little boy up to the sink to wash his hands, when i told them we have kids sinks. As the kid is drying his hands off he looks up to me and says, "Thank you for having kids' sinks" ! It was so cute.

My first day on the job I was working Showcase and I saw Max (Goofy's son) outside the door. Needless to say, I thought it was wonderfull because it was my first day (oh the magic!) Anyway, there was a little girl in the store and I whispered "Hey look outside, it's Max" So she inched to the door and peeked out-well her mouth dropped and her face lit up! She goes running to her Mom going "It's Max! Wow, it's Max!" To which her mom pretty much ignored her...oh well, it made my night because the magic was special to her.

This happened to me last week at Kilimanjaro Safaris (yeah, I know, I'm on the DLR board, not the WDW board, but this thread seems to have some longevity to it)

--
When I clocked in this morning, first position I got was "Honorary Family". Basically, one Safari CM goes over to the rope-drop ceremony, and picks out one family to come back before the park "opens" and ride the very first safari of the day as a private show. The CM who picks the family does the spiel while someone else drives.

I went over to Discovery Island, and picked out a family. Mom, Dad, and 2 daughters, probably 4 and 6 years old, if I had to guess. As we're walking to the entrance to Safaris, I talk with them, and learn that they're from Finland, the 2 girls know very little English, but the parents understand English pretty well.

We go out on the trail, and I go through my normal show, trying to remember to slow down a bit, as the mother is translating for her daughters. I realized about 20 seconds in that what I was saying didn't matter, and it didn't matter if the girls could understand me without translation. The look on their faces said everything. The little one was almost bouncing off her seat with excitement, her eyes were glowing the whole ride, excitedly pointing when she saw an animal.

I won't be able to remember that little girl's name, I doubt she'll be able to remember mine, but I'm always going to remember that smile.

THAT is why I love working for Disney.
