Best of luck with everything :)

I will be your guide for this magical journey into the movies. It's the perfect job for me, because I love movies! Is everybody ready? Great, because it's showtime. Ready when you are, CB!

I shall post your new smiley promptly and with pride, but also with a small tear in my eye that Disney has lost a cast member who "gets it", who has worked hard, even through his own tears, to make sure than every guest he can reach has the best possible time.

Ya done good, BW. Best of luck is sure to follow your new adventures.

B W,

I think this is EXACTLY what you need right now.
Best of luck with the new job, I think you'll be happier interacting with people again.

PM coming as I'm still on WDW property.

Congratulations on your new position! It's a shame you won't be around WDW as much anymore (though you're in my neck of the woods much more often now, lol), but you're still Seasonal, so we can still expect you from time to time. I'm with everyone else though, you know what's best for you, and we're all behind you completely.

Best of luck!

OMG, BW...

I always, always use Mears towncars for our OIA to DTW transportation. Could it be the next time we come down, yours will be the face waiting to greet us at baggage claim???

That would be so freaking awesome. And don't worry we tip well ;)

I'm so proud of you. You've been through so much in the past year- and I can only say I am honored to call you my friend.

Rock on, BW. You'll always have Pixie Dust twinkling in your eyes, to those of us who know where to look for it.

hugs,
bru

P.S. I got goosebumps reading your post because I wrote a flash fiction piece last July called "Wish Trip". I'd post it, (it was written for a contest to a photo prompt, only 250 words) but it's a pretty emotionally stirring piece...

You are just the kind of CM that made, and I believe even as seasonal will find a way to make, magic for your guests again someday as you did for that father and son on Monorail Green.

And even if you never set foot on WDW property as a CM again for the rest of your life- know this.

I am certain that man thinks of you all the time- and will never, ever forget what you did for him. You know I have a personal story something like this to relate to- a CM doing something unheard of for me- from my last trip and you know that I'm right when I say that man will remember you because I think of that special CM who went out of their way for me, every single day.

BW, life is long and full of many changes and challenges. You know what is right for you. It's a box of chocolates, like Forrest said. God bless you.
