While attending MNSSHP on Sunday, my 3 year old son lost his most favorite stuffed toy. It has become something like a security blanket to him recently, going everywhere with him. I backtracked our movement through out the park, stopping every cast member at every treat trail and store we had been in asking about a little tan dog. My son was so upset, he cried himself to sleep in his stroller, and missed the parade and fireworks. I finally made my way to the emporium, and asked a castmember there if anyone had turned the toy in. He checked in back, and unfortunately, no doggy. He then invited me to pick out a new stuffed toy for my son to try and make him feel better.
Honestly, I wasn't out to get anything, just his dog back. The castmember further insisted that I take something. He actually seemed surprised I picked out a small Skully instead of something larger. My son was dressed as Jake that night, so when he woke up, was thrilled at seeing his new friend. I was also given a number for lost and found, and told to call the next morning. I tried, and got no answer before we checked out and left for home.
We stopped at Ikea on the way back home, to see if we could get a replacement. While my wife was frantically searching upstairs, I tried lost and found one more time. The nice lady on the phone said they had one thing that sounded like our missing doggy. I sent her a pic and she that she had it. I was so relieved. Even more when my wife came back downstairs, saying that the toy had been discontinued. My son's best buddy will be arriving in a couple of days, after having an extended vacation at Disney World.
I'm just so thankful for everyone involved here. From the person(who ever you are) that turned that dog in, to the castmember in the emporium who bent over backwards to make my son happy, to the lost and found rep who is sending back the toy. Our little trip nearly ended on a very sour note, but it seems like it will have a happy ending after all.
